Shaq interviewed by Ariel, says he became an MMA fan because of Vitor

[Winston Wolf]

Shaq says one day Vitor approached him and said "hey man I'm a big fan of yours, you should come watch one of my fights". Says he asked "are you a boxer?". Vitor: "No, I'm an MMA fighter". Shaq didn't know what MMA was and went to the fight, in which Vitor "knocked out some guy in 15 seconds". Says Vitor remains one of his favorite fighters, as well as Jon Jones.

Pretty cool interview, albeit somewhat short. Shaq is the man.

Probably this

 

[Nelly]

That was Vitor's debut in MMA and it was outside the UFC in Hawaii.

Wonder what Shaq would have thought if Vitor loss that fight.

Also probably wondered why Vitor was dribbling with Hess' head

 

[IMPmmath]

Shaq Diesel and Victor Gracie.Wonder if the Fu Shnickens were in the building.

 

[Kalmah]

Vitor's easily one of my favourite fighters to watch.

 

[Philtard]

That must be where he gets his K1 level striking from.

 

[countswagula]

K1 Vitor better be in the new Shaq Fu

 

[SherdogGoat]

Awesome to know that. Vitor is my favorite fighter as well. I wish I would have seen him fight live and knocking somebody's head off.
