I don't think the challenger has the power to ask the fight to be delayed because of personal problems, he is always the weakest node in the rope. The champion is the most important person in a title fight, there's lots of challengers. Vitor would never be allowed to do it.Yes, the fight got pushed back, all Vitor had to do was ask for it to be delayed a month and there would be no problem and he'd be fighting for the title. Why did he instead choose to pull out?
Instead Vitor pulled out .. then said he did not pull out and wanted to fight and the UFC pulled him out ... then he changed it again and said he did pull out because he could not fight so soon.
This holds no water since ...
a) he lied and changed his story multiple times
and
b) all he had to do was simply say I need another month.
Instead he pulled out and gave up his title fight, you think that makes sense?

You are putting A LOT of blame on Vitor, especulating A LOT of things and assuming the worst case you can. I think it's a bit harsh assuming this much knowing so little.
You all got Chaeled.
Where are all the turds from yesterday acting like it was no big deal and would be easy for Vitor. Like this whole thing didn't stink like shit and acting like Dana the UFC never pretended it was a big deal regarding Vitor & the NSAC. Waiting to be told what to say or something.
Damn straight (except it's Chaeld, d not ed). I really can't wait to hear Wand's explanation tomorrow ... and then the NSAC hearing in a few weeks.
This is the gift that keeps on giving.
and where are all the turds from yesterday who was saying that Chael was lying about Wand skipping out on the drug test.
