Vitor is looking :flabbynsick: but he has won his last three fights because of excellent technique (head kick KO's of Hendo, Rockhold, Bisping) and not so much the TRT use. I'm hoping he can make his fight vs. Weidman a competitive one, but the constant pressure the champ brings is likely to wear Vitor down regardless if he was using TRT or not.

hopefully weidman doesnt take him down, remember machida hit him flush many times in their fight, he just didnt have the power to ko him. even a old vitor still has that ko power

Weidman taking Vitor down will be interesting. Vitor is a black belt in jiu jitsu, and was soo close to making Bones tap (or snapping his arm). And Vitor is more dangerous on the feet, than on the ground. The same can be said with Machida but Weidman did stand and trade with him. Basically the whole fight too, but IMO Machida's conservative style is what led to Weidman to be more open to standing and trading with him. Add in the fact that Machida's TDD is excellent (81%) and Weidman's decision to stand with Machida makes sense. Vitor is a threat on his feet and is more capable of a producing a KO than Machida. I wouldn't be surprised if Weidman looks for the TD the whole fight against Vitor.
