Vitor at LHW

[ryotostpierre]

I'd love to see Vitor move up in weight, he seems to barely be making mw anyways. I'd love to see him fight rampage and heck I think he has a bttr chance at beating jones than hendo or gus. What do you guys think?

Idk if Vitor is barley making the weight but he seems to always make it. Vitor also seemed much smaller in his bout against Rumble so idk how well he would fair modern day with LHW fighters. He would for sure have the speed and boxing advantage but he has that over most middle weights. I think Vitor and Anderson should fight again before Vitor decides to change weight i don't see many people besides Anderson giving Vitor problems at 185.

I agree with this for the most but would like to add Vitor has dropped a lot of the muscle mass that he once sported in youth in order to consistently and comfortably make MW. Just look at pictures from him in his early 20's versus now and you can tell there is at least 20lbs of muscle difference. I'd be interested in seeing a bulked up prime Vitor versus Jones and think he'd stand an awesome chance. It'd be hard to finish him on the ground and standing there is no way he wouldn't blitz through Jones' reach and has more than ample power to blow him away with one or two good swarms.

LOL.

Imean Vitor is an excellent fighter and really a legend of the sport, but Jones would destroy him...

IMO it's better for him to fight at MW....
If nothing, MW division is much "easier" than LHW....

Sums it up

Actually, you might be right when you say he has a better chance than Hendo. Then again, there's always the chance he'll get wrestlefucked. But if it were straight striking, Vitor would take it.

I think if Vitor polished his BJJ skills, he would be a force in the LHW division. He would probably be the best striker in the division, certainly one of the hardest hitting. And if he got his TDD up to speed he would be very hard to beat.

Ha, he should, then the billing of him being a BJJ master would make sense. See tank abbott vs vitor if you don't know what I'm talking about.

I need vitor to fight jones. Why? Because I need vitor to vitor joness. If vitor fights jones and throws less than 55 punches in the first minute, he will lose.
