Vitor looking to be in much better shape ahead of UFC 198 thanks to new conditioning approach

[markg171]

Watch from 1:56-4:00



No, he doesn't have his shirt off, but he does take it off at the end of the video and spars without it. Skip to 11:18 for that if that's all you're here for. Seems to have leaned down and filled out his muscles again, and is training in a lot of cool situational MMA conditioning stuff. Still looking his age, but looks way better than that dead deflated thing that fought Weidman.

And of course, the rat tail's back and the fight's in Brazil. So expect a 1st round KO anyways.

Jacare still whooping that ass.

This aint "Super" Vitor, it's "Dad Bod" Vitor.

 

[HelloJapan]

"New conditioning coach"=fighting in Brazil.

 

[BlastoiseDad]

TRT would have destroyed Weidman in 2013 imo

 

[AceCooch]

Badhair cut TRT Vitor is GOAT, Thank you Jeezus!

He's wearing a shirt. comparison inconclusive.

Wow horrible training.


Simulating a rear naked choke by holding your self up, dafaq?


I hope he is actually sparring with headgear and shit instead of just doing that crap.


Just saw that he still normally train, I guess it isn't that bad.


Jacare hasnt been look tst lately so vitor has a chance.

He looked in great shape for his age in his last fight against Hendo, still has that amazing speed. If Jacare doesn't watch out I think it'll be a short night for him. Just from the sheer pedigree on the card it might be a short night for everyone, I haven't added it up but 198 may be the most finishes by all the fighters on the main card combined. Might also be the overall highest finish percentage from all the fighters involved. all of them know how to finish a fight, and usually do in impressive fashion, with all these guys on one card, odds are good we're going to see some great finishes. I think Vitor is either getting a KO or getting sub'd.

I love these shirtless vitor examination threads. Also shoutout to overeem body composition threads.

Vitor will kill him you'll see!
TRT Vitor = the best MW ever

I love that his coach pretends that doing strength and conditioning drills is revolutionary lmao.

All fighters already get in shape this way dork, they spare to simulate fighting for timing, reactions, distance and movement etc, and there's certain movements in fighting that you can't simulate in drills.

Runners run, swimmers swim, fighters fight.

Ask Robbie how not sparring for a couple years worked out for him.

It's not actually a bad idea. Would increase your bicep and forearm strength so that you can squeeze harder. And will improve those muscles endurance seeing as his coach was making him hold himself for a minute.

Let's him practice choking for a long time without killing a man, what are you complaining about?

There's a lot of fighters who just spar to get their conditioning down actually, and that's what he's saying is a bad idea.

And moreover, Vitor is still sparring, so I don't know what you're actually complaining about. His coach is just leaving the sparring for sparring (i.e practice fighting), and not doubling down the sparring as conditioning work.

 

[HI SCOTT NEWMAN]

Jacare will smash Vitor so easily, people will be surprised, but I won't. it won't be competitive at all.

 

[Fizzee Water]

I really hope we get to see how Vitor's bjj stacks up against Jacare.
