All due respect to Vitor, I was at UFC 15 (where he fought Couture), and I remember him not coming out of his trailer for the fight for over an hour (when the fight was scheduled to start) since he was upset about who was supposed to go to the Octagon first.
Granted, he was only ~20 at the time and so might have matured considerably since then, but that was pure diva behavior right there...
^^ I heard that as well - I also heard that was the cover for the diva behavior. I also heard the diva stuff was a cover for the diarrhea so Couture wouldn't know Vitor was ill. I also heard that it was a story planted by someone to make Vitor look bad :-P
Take your pick on which is true - but I was sitting next to Wallid Ismail and Allan Goes - they said he wasn't coming out because he was pissed at something, and Goes had been going back and forth to the trailer, so I assumed he knew what he was talking about.
Perhaps the fight itself was delayed for only 15-20 minutes - but he was supposed to be out earlier than that (interviews, maybe?), and he wasn't.
I always like Vitor till he went a little nuts at the Rockhold weigh in. Juiced Vitor is angry and doesn't seem like a guy who's buddy is Jesus. Turning a little heel IMO.
