Far and away the coolest one I've ever met.
It was some meeting for DirectTV programmers or something that Wand thought was open to the public and started at 12, but it wasn't open to the public. There were about 75 of us or so and we had to wait in the sun for like two hours. When Wand finally got out of that meeting, he took about forty minutes to walk through our line and stop and chat with every single person there. They gave out free DVDs (ironically, Ultimate Iceman and Liddell/Jackson 2) and I was able to talk with Andre Galvao for a bit and talk to Wand for a while.
Overall, the best experience I've ever had meeting a fighter. A lot of fighters would have simply shaken hands, taken a pic and then said goodbye, or sat down at the nearby table and just signed things like an assembly line, but Wand took the time and effort to approach each person, shake their hand, give them a hug, and take a pic or sign whatever they wanted.
