interesting. i think vitor will win wand is not what he used to be and if push comes to shove vitor will just punch him in the back of the head and not be called for it to get the knockout.

Not too much of a surprise, and it's really a fight that I don't want to see either guy lose, but I do see Belfort coming away with the KO victory.

Vitor has been known to fold mentally in the past.. I think if wand can get the better of him early and often, this becomes a very winnable fight for him.

Exactly. Wandy has to avoid the bristling exchanges as much as he can early, try to work his kicks and his overall game moreso than just throwing hooks like in the Leben fight. Belfort has started to fade by the 2nd round in alot of his fights where Wandy is usually fresh for most of the fight...so I'd say it's a good bet for Wandy.

It should be an 8:1 ratio.

The good thing about MMA is that upsets happen all the time.
Of course Vitor is a huge favorite and in theory he should KO Wandy in less than 3 minutes, but we have seen very big surprises in the past and hopefully we will see another one this time.

I think the odds look pretty accurate; Belfort will probably pick up the early KO since he is faster, has crazy power, and Wand is susceptible to KO's. But who knows, Belfort can come in looking like crap and get out worked.
