Just rewatched UFC 15...

Good stuff. Vitor and Randy, and Randy showed how good he is at evading a power shot then quickly closing the distance and clinching.

Vitor obviously wasn't in shape and was too juiced up and bulky at 224. He was pretty strong in the early action but gassed after three minutes. I think he'll give Randy a tough fight but Randy is the best at defusing strikers, clinching and taking them down.

Yeah I just rewatched it tonight too. Hadn't seen that fight in a LONG time. Vitor's biggest problem seemed to be conditioning, once he gassed, he gassed hard and fast. He was just completely done for by the end of the fight, but he didn't seem to get tired until about a minute earlier.

Randy is awesome with those uppercuts from clinch.

both are different fighters completely. that was Vitor's 5th fight, Randy's 3rd. it's like watching Vitor vs. Silva and saying the same thing is gonna happen.

Tonight everything is different. Vitor will be ready. For a guy criticized for being "inconsisent" he sure has consistently won a lot with a record of 11-3. And Randy was the only guy that ever finished him sorry I'm not impressed by Sak getting a decision over a guy with a broken hand or Chuck winning by one knockdown (landed with eyes closed) which Vitor quickly recovered from.

Vitor is completely different from the clinch now. remember the knees to Marvin Eastman?? and he's trained hard on conditioning for this fight. watch out!

The Brazilian is correct!!

brazillian, you know they fight saturday, correct?

Brazilian is waiting for it to come on..waiting..waiting...

I'm glad it was saturday. Had a company party I had tonight and I was so bummed I thought I'd miss UFC. I couldn't bear that.

This saturday will be one of the best days of the year.
