Vitor has always been one of the most underrated fighters...

[FlyThai**]

On this forum. And he showed it here. Destroyed Bisping!

 

[GordaoPreguico]

I am happy to be wrong.

 

[Mau]

war vitor!!

 

[Powerlift]

Agreed. People here are always saying he is an overrated has been.

At 185 the only fighter that can beat him IMO is obviously Silva.

 

[Pirroh]

Wot

On this forum. And he showed it here. Destroyed Bisping!

yeah he really is, would REALLY like to see a anderson rematch

 

[jalisco1]

Belfort is too fast for most middleweight. Bisping didn't stand a chance

 

[MartyMcFry]

I seriously could not understand why people were so confident in Bisping in the first place. But yeah Vitor's awesome, man.

 

[thedevious]

Really? I've always thought he was ridiculously overrated due to his lack of top wins, but he finally has a top 10 win so I guess I can't hate on him too much anymore :icon_neut

 

[Jay Jay]

It's mostly Anderson Silva haters discrediting Vitor by saying he has no win at MW on a technicality (conveniently discounting Rich Franklin and Rumble Johnson finishes because it doesn't suit their argument. Vitor also fought at catchweight to accomodate Rich)

 

[SamuraiWhack]

I now feel inclined to see Sonnen vs Belfort.

 

[rac2]

vitor belfort called jon jones out after winning a potential mw title contention fight. somebody please explain.

 

[brocktober714**]

Vitor is another Bisping who folds again top fighters like Silva, Jones.. Lombard, weidman, evans, even sonnen would beat Vitor.. Evil always wins Vitor

 

[Evan_The_Kid_1]

WAR VITOR!!!! Will always be one of my favorites and will always support weather at 185, 205, or even HW

 

[FlyThai**]

I now feel inclined to see Sonnen vs Belfort.

i been saying it for a while now. Vitor beats Sonnen. Via Sub or TKO

duh.. that ko was at 195... everyone know rich at 195 is garbage... and everyone knows rich franklin was never even slightly good... duh.. he lost to cung le... plus... anderson silva never even beat a top 50 lhw... forrest griffin never even beat 1 good fighter and anderson only beat him because he was made by god to be beaten by anderson silva and everyone knows that... duh.

 

[DrHouse]

Guy has only ever lost to the best, most of them not even at MW. Top 3 MW.

both his losses to tito and chuck could have went the other way.
