Vitor dominates forrest standing, and on the ground with his jj (if he decides to use it).. Sorry but theres no way forrest is going to outpace vitor or be quick enough to do what he did to hector aganst him.

i would actually bet on Forrest to pull this one out. it would be a huge win for him now, and i think that at XTreme Couture, they could pull a gameplan enough to win this one, as Vitor still has problems with being gunshy and not living up to the flurries that he starts with

Hasn't Vitor had some cardio problems in the past too?
He's still got fast hands but unless the guy he's fighting is a total can he always fights poorly. I'd be willing to be on Forrest too, but Vitor SHOULD win.

Regardless, Vitor's handspeed in his flurries is incredible, & i think Forrest would get shut down after a few of those. Plus, Forest usually just throws wild shots while in close striking, while Vitor throws accurate, powerful blows. Vitor would knock him out.

If the right Belfort shows up he'll utterly dominate Griffin.
1st round KO

good question
the obvious answer is the 100 percent Vitor will beat the 100 percent Griffen, but you cannot bet on Belfort being in a good mental place when he fights. If vitor was 100 percent for his whole career then he would have beaten tito, overeem, and maybe even chuck or randy.
If anyone has watched vitor's ADCC grappling matches then it is clear that he has amazing BJJ, but you wouldnt guess it from looking at his MMA fights. I give the ground advantage to Belfort
Standup is damn near even, Forrest has learned how to play with his reach advantage and Vitor still to this day has fast hands. I would give Vitor a slight advantage in this one too.... I dont expect either fighter to KO the other one
Id give the cardio advantage to forrest. Vitor's cardio has looked less then stellar lately (or ever) plus Forrest training with Randy should help his conditioning even more... and his gameplans
Going over the fighters strong points and weak points and say that Belfort would decision him in a close fight..... Belfort would for sure win the first round but sometimes thats what Forrest needs to get him going
