I dunno man, I just don't think Vitor would have a clear advantage over Silva on the ground. Sure, Silva didn't do a very good job of working back to his feet against Chael at all, but Chael is a dominant powerful wrestler, whereas Vitor isn't it. I can't see Vitor being able to hold Silva down anywhere near as well as Chael, or even trying to. Vitor's hand speed and accuracy is as close to Silva's as you'll find at 185, and there is a real chance of him catching Silva in the stand-up.

i just see anderson countering, getting in close and kneeing his way to a victory. |
I agree man, I think Vitor has some great hands, but I see Anderson's dynamic muay-thai skills really being an advantage in this fight, so he can stay unpredictable and pick Belfort apart.

I'm with you on at one man, at least that's what I'd like to see(although I am a big Vitor fan too, so i wouldn't be that upset if it went the other way!)
