So is Vitor Belfort done?

[Straightcross]

After being on TRT so long he probably shut down his natural testosterone production for good and probably has to go on TRT when he retires to not feel like shit

 

[DIABOLUS]

Give me Anderson 2, Shogun, or Machia. Preferably all three, then he can retire.

 

[Weuylf]

It's time for young lions to take over, Vitor has given it his all

 

[bigmacbub]

imo he should retire

He would be perfect for ONE or Rizin where they don't test nearly as much

 

[Arm Barbarian]

TRT Vitor was a complete wrecking machine.

Non-TRT Vitor, not so much.

He's still dangerous for the first round, but he's not getting anywhere near the belt at this stage imo.

 

[touchedbyjab]

TRTless Vitor is more like a docile lamb than a lion. He doesn't even throw strikes anymore.

He should hang it up.

 

[RedLantern]

Belfort vs SIlva 2 has to be done before they retire, or let Belfort smash Bisping again for fun

 

[Bogeyman]

I think he should fight Wanderlei again.

As far as high level fights in the UFC, i think he's done.

 

[yeguiza]

today vitor vs anderson is a no brainer

 

[ironball]

Jacare and Weidman are just terrible matchups for him, especially considering his poor fight IQ. He didn't even look too bad against Jacare, getting out of a bad position and even throwing some flying knees. Physically he looked fine but his poor gameplanning and the power of Jacares full mount really merked his ass sadly.


Still plenty of great matchups for him though

Uriah Hall vs. Belfort
Belfort vs. Romero (fuck it why not)
Machida vs. Belfort
Lombard vs. Belfort

this topic is kinda beat to death and out of left field. you just watch souza demolish him or something?

 

[Shocktagon]

He really needs to face Machida before he goes out.

The question is whether he can smash Bisping or Rockhold without his magic serum.

Rockhold I doubt, but Bisping yes

 

[Rubberchin]

Nah, he's got Chael.

 

[Phronimos]

If he wants to fight, let him fight. If he isn't good enough for the UFC main card, I think he'll either retire, or fight for a different org for the money. He's a name, let him do as he pleases.
If China buys the UFC, he won't have to worry about testing.

What makes you think Vitor would beat Bisping today?

 

[RedLantern]

What makes you think Vitor would beat Bisping today?

People writing Vitor off because 2 strong grapplers took him down and beat him up in Chris and Jacare. Vitor's weakness has always been strong grapplers, Bisping wouldnt pose that threat and I'd still pick Vitor to land a heavy shot and finish him, just how he did to Hendo in the 3rd fight

 

[MCMXCIX]

They'll let him fight Leites or just another easy fight.

I can see the UFC selling a UFC Fight Night with Silva vs Belfort II in Brazil.
