If it’s true that this fight will be for the middleweight title, it does expose the org.’s weaknesses. It doesn’t have top tier talent except for a handful of heavy weights. There’s no way that either of these guys could compete with the upper echelon of UFC middleweights or light heavies.

i’m not worried about any more mental breakdowns..

back in the day..

he had all sorts of horrible things going on in his personal life.. well, not really all sorts of things.. but.. his sister was kidnapped.. so, his head was TOTALLY unclear.. but now, i’d say everything’s right.. he’s with a new camp.. he’s at a new, faster weight..

things are looking great for Vitor right now..
in fact, i’d say the ONLY WAY HE COULD LOSE RIGHT NOW, is to lay’n'pray..

Could being a middleweight finally show the world the potential of Vitor, or will he have another mental breakdown ala AA. Only time will tell friends.

i think with Vitor’s new speed at MW.. we shoudln’t have to worry about anything..

Lindland only won a silver medal, not gold, right?

How funny Rich S. we where thinking the same thing…Grapplers, Ex.C..etc etc
also I’m a huge fan of Vitor also and he is still a young guy and can really turn his career around and finish his legacy on a high note..

I hope Vitor stays at Exteme Couture with his training, If he doesn’t do we see the old Vitor who has never done well against Good Grapplers..

although Vitor seems to have new life at Xtreme Couture.. i’m worried about how he usually does against wrestlers.. he gets laid on, and his guard is completely inactive, which is ridiculous seeing as how he has great BJJ.. i’m hoping his stay at XC has focused on utilizing his sub game..

i don’t want to see another:

Belfort/Couture 1
Belfort/Couture 2
Belfort/Tito
etc.
etc.
etc.

Vitor’s long been one of my fav. fighters.. i’d love to see him hold a title..

I can only hope Lindland gets KTFO in this one. Despite his considerable skills and experience he’s become one of the most boring fighters out there.

If it’s for the WAMMA title then WAMMA is a farce.
