Vitor' next 5 fights

[padda]

In the post fight presser for 212, Vitor stated he wanted another 5 fights in the UFC.

He has talked about a 'legends league' but in he UFC this doesn't seem like a realistic option. With that being said, there are still plenty of decent fights for him left, and I'd quite like to watch them. Who do you think will be his next five fights?

My thoughts are:
Uriah Hall
Rashad Evans
Dan Kelly
Hector Lombard
Tim Boetsch

Unlikely:
Machida upon return from suspension?
Shogun at 195 if Shoguns current run comes apart

I've omitted Anderson as he's previously gone on record stating a rematch with Vitor does zilch for him, and he has no interest, and have tried focusing on fights I thought would be reasonably comptetive with decent named vets who would travel to Brazil or headline a fight night.

give him Uriah so he will get badly beat up and finally retires, he has nothing to do in the UFC, unless a Master Category gets installed, and all geriatrics move there.

 

[TIMELESS TRUTH]

Vitor says a lot of crazy things, but 5 more fights like his last one sound boring as hell.

 

[Degen Gambler]

I'd like to see him fight Dan Henderson twice and Randy Couture three times.

Only interested in seeing him in legends fights at this point.. Rematch with Anderson would be cool.

Belfort annihilates that glass jawed joke/mental midget.

Vitor's performance was underwhelming...I can't think of 5 guys he looks good against at MW or LHW.

 

[nevernamed]

I don't know. 5 more fights. He couldn't pull the trigger really on saturday night.. He did land some nice shots, but it just felt like all fight long there were openings that he didn't use.

 

[antone_p]

He needs to retire...since USADA his fights have been boring and he keeps saying that he's going to change his strategy for the next fight and it's always the same snooze fest.

Belfort vs. A. Silva II

A lot of salt in here. It's impossible to predict all 5 now. I think the Silva rematch makes the most sense at this point, but like you said, Silva doesn't wanna taste. They could just throw Vitor right back in the mix, maybe a Lucas rematch? Or they could go by rankings, Leites, Branch. Idk, but I look forward to seeing Tristar/Zenia Vitor.

He should return to HW and fight JDS in a Legends Fight.

Agree it was underwhelming, but I do think there are still people he could be competitive with. Also I do like the fact he proved he had the ability to go 3 full rounds, although that is mitigated by the fact not a lot happened in those 3 rounds.

I don't know. 5 more fights. He couldn't pull the trigger really on saturday night.. He did land some nice shots, but it just felt like all fight long there were openings that he didn't use.

Agreed, but some of the guys I suggested have shown similar issues. He mentioned the 2/3 week camp, so I'll give him th benefit of the doubt on this one.

Belfort vs. A. Silva II
Belfort vs. Shogun
Belfort vs. Rashad Evans
Belfort vs. Alvey
Belfort vs. Machida

retire.

I like the concept of the Alvey fight, as again that seems like a winnable fight for Vitor against someone with a respectable record. Think it would be another snoozer of a fight though with both waiting on the other to make the first move and throw a counter.

Surprised me that so many here write Vitor off as completely shot. He got starched recently by the most legit contenders, all of whom have been touted as title material. He won't be top 5 again, but there are plenty on the roster he could beat, and potentially in exciting matchups. Why not let him still compete, earn a living and put a name on some of the cards in need?

Leites is a good shout, but I think Branch would just smother him for 3 rounds, so I imagine everyone would rather see him fight someone who would predominately keep it standing.
