Heh heh, oh my sweet princess Juicey-wuicey, I well remember you adorably talking about how Chael and Vitor had operated as light heavyweights in the very, very, very, very distant past, as if in your fantasy world that was even close to relevant given that each had spent at least half a decade fighting nothing but middleweights.
You see blossom, not only had it been half a decade since Vitor was last confronted by the challenge of taking on a light heavyweight opponent, it had also been more than 8 years since Vitor had defeated a light heavyweight opponent who was relevant at the top level. For Chael it had been more than 7 years since he'd even fought at light heavyweight
and 10 since he'd beaten anyone worth beating in that division.
Because the thing is my sweet, fragile flower, nobody who's not new to this game considers it relevant that Chael or Vitor had been operating in the bigger division back when the dinosaurs roamed. For a sport as young as this one half a decade may as well be half a lifetime and full decade may as well be two. Fighting a light heavyweight opponent is a whole new world when you've been up against nothing but middleweights for as long as those two had been at the time they fought my main man Jonny Bones.
