He didn't say he liked him really, he's not so much routing for vitor as he is brazil... That's fair I suppose...

[Cat--Smasher]

If Vitor beats Jones and wins the belt, Silva will be laughing. Silva should start the shit talking now just in case (learn something from Sonnen).

If Vitor wins the belt, and if Anderson has been laying the foundations, call out Vitor and capture both the MW and LHW belts before retiring... Or then drop down and fight GSP before retiring.

Vitor winning the belt could (far fetched but feasible) give Anderson a hail mary at winning 3 belts (assuming he would beat GSP at WW).

One can imagine.

Vitor is coming anywhere close to winning the belt. For the record I got Vitor spending most of the fight on his back (if not getting jabbed and side kicked to the knees)

Are you saying Vitor has a good chance of winning?

That's also assuming he'll beat Vitor again. That fight is certainly not a gimme and I would love to see Vitor catch him with a punch, cause I got a feeling it'll only take one from him.

Right. This is Anderson in media mode. He doesn't like Vitor, but A brazilian cheering for an American over a fellow countryman is very taboo in Brazil.

Nah I don't think he has a chance (size disadvantage). I would rather see Vitor fight Machida.

One of my favorite quotes and is actually tattooed on my body and that is "si vis pacem para bellum" which translates to "if you are looking for peace, prepare for war".

This is the best PR idea I've ever seen from us keyboard planners. Endless, endless props and other words that James Toney uses to you, sir.

The thing is that Vitor's striking, while nasty, is extremely predictable. He almost reminds me of a karate class in how straight, left-right, left-right he can be at times. Ultimately, he has scary power (see, Akiyama KO) but I think it's just a puncher's chance with him and Silva given Silva's technique and amazing defense.

Sad, but true.

I just never understood why you have it as a tramp stamp

Those 1, 2 s he throws are extremely fast and powerful. So it's really more of a matter of "when is he going to throw them", then "what will he be throwing".

What intrigues me is , will Vitor be able to get off against Jones given how much bigger and longer Jones is? Hopefully he keeps it standing long enough to find out.
