Vitor just sounds mad at the fact that this is a half number one contender fight. But honestly, who really wants to see him fight Anderson again...

How does he sound mad? He just stated the obvious, and he said nothing about his own title shots. I think he realizes that his last title shot was not based on merit.

I don't think it would be a bad fight at all, mostly because I think it would end in similar fashion. But I think if he beats Bisping and another top contender after that, I would be all about it. Just not quite ready yet for that rematch.

He is just stating the obvious thing that anybody who is not a UFC nuthugger knows.

Unfortunately in UFC, your popularity in Twitter is much more important than what you do inside the octagon.
Strikeforce had the rule that the No. 1 contender is the one that lost his last fight.

I'm sure Vitor knows all about unwarranted title shots. And choking in big fights. And back of the head shots.
