Stann, Rivera, and Leben all have power yes, but their hand speed is nothing compared to Vitor's. Their killer instinct isn't comparable to Vitor's, Bisping's chin is pretty solid but if Vitor clips him he better cover up and do a good job of it because Vitor will swarm him quickly.Stated by Thelyotolegion.


Stann, Rivera killer instinct lesser than Belforts? i politely disagree, I would question Leben only because of his last couple of performances.
Again politely i ask why make such a statement about the 'killer instinct'?

he said they don't have the same killer instinct and I agree. Shogun, Wanderlei (not so much anymore for these two), Anderson, Belfort. When they hurt you, they generally finish you. They certainly have killer instinct, it just doesn't appear to be as high as the aforementioned.

Pumped for this fight!

I like Vitor more as a fighter so going to pull for him but the skill-set is very close in this one.

Only thing in this fight that would surprise me is the Count finishing this early.

Vitor choked in his fight w/ AS and would like to see a rematch. Bis is an UNK so would def look forward to that also.

I'm actually very pumped for this fight. I just don't see a way for Bisping to win besides a decision. Vitor has better boxing, chin, and BJJ. Bisping may have a cardio edge and has better footwork. The wrestling is close.

If Bisping can avoid being KO'd he does have a better chance than some think. Still not a good chance though.

huh? Bisping held his own surprisingly well with Sonnen who is one of the very best wrestlers in the sport. Bisping is a fairly significantly better wrestler than Vitor.

This is make or break time for Bisping, he knows Vitor is riled up and he knows he will blow his load and not be able to go 5 rounds. Bisping needs to keep circling out early and he will be ok.

Vitor looks physically like age is catching up.

Holy **** Vitor looks huge. He didn't look like that when he went down to 185 or even when he fought Anderson. He was much thinner and leaner. That TrT doin a body good.

To quote Nick Diaz "So we're throwing spinning shit now?"

Vitor doesn't seem himself but I don't know if it's a good or a bad thing.

Edit: I think Vitor might be waiting for a double jab, seeing if Michael is going to go deep and then counter hard with a left straight.
