I think Vitor's wrestling gets underrated. He's good and took Chuck down (in 2002 admittedly). I think these guys are actually very close in skills, talen and physical ability. Vitor is faster with his hands and probably a better boxer. Weidman has a wrestling advantage. IMHO, it depends how much of a difference the TRT makes. TRT Vitor I think would take this fight maybe 6/10. No TRT is probably going to be a problem for him.

This fight should have happened already. At this stage you really have to favor Chris. Vitor is out too long and there are too many questions as to where he is at physically and mentally.

He has the skills to make it a great fight and if he can catch Weidman early we might see the upset.

As a fan of his for years I hope Belfort wins, it would be an amazing story, even despite the whole TRT element.

I'd argue it'd make an even greater story.

^Yeah because he had his shot taken away from him and he can't use the TRT any more, but people would still say he only got the shot because of the TRT. Well Bisping and Rockhold would anyway and a lot of people resented him when he was on it.
