Anderson vs Belfort 2

Who knows how Vitor will look now that he can't abuse the TRT program anymore.

Vitor would KTFO Anderson, and it would be a great PPV main event or FOX main event.
 
Anderson wins again. No takedown threat, far superior on the feet. 2nd round TKO.
 
Stylistically, Anderson is the worst match-up for Belfort - he is the perfect counterstriker, who can bob and weave out of the way of Belfort's blitz, and catch him coming in, time and time again.

True, if they did rematch, Anderson would be older/slower/coming off an injury, but his style would likely stay the same, thereby making Belfort the underdog.

Lastly, I agree that it is perhaps better for both Anderson and the fans, if he either retires, or spends the rest of his career fighting new opponents (I don't mean using him as a gatekeeper for new contenders) - no rematches, just exciting match-ups with guys like Le or even Nick Diaz.
 
Since I cannot make a poll, how may of you think Anderson vs Vitor 2 is a good match-up? And if not, who would be a better opponent for Anderson?

Vitor takes his head off in a rematch. And quite violently.
 
I think Anderson's movement has slowed to a point where Vitor would be able to catch him and get the (T)KO. IMO this is where Anderson has aged the most. He is not as elusive and his style leaned heavily on him rolling with punches and being elusive.
