they both fought heath herring in Pride around the same time. heath lost a dec. with the weight/strikes rule to vitor, then mashed kerr & upset vov - Fedor then mauls heath and gets a title shot off the win. Around that time Vitor came back to the UFC won the belt. Vitor's only loss in pride at the time was to saku, btw. and yea lindland landed well as a southpaw - I imagine vitor could land a few (mirko did).. weirdly intriguing

Ugh... The Herring/Belfort decision. I had forgotten how horrible it was.
That being said, Vitor beating Couture was the biggest fluke win in UFC history, without question. He also lost to Chuck in his UFC return, then after winning the title turned around and lost it right back to Couture and dropped another fight to Tito. His only good win in that 5 fight UFC run was when he destroyed Marvin Eastman's head.
