I think Vitor is one of the few LHWs that has a real chance to beat chuck. He's got all the tools. If you watch their first fight, it was really close and I had Vitor winning it until he got knocked down. He fought a good fight, had some great exchanges and takedowns. I like his chances.
Obviously he needs at least another win against top competition to earn a shot at chuck. But I think he's got a better chance than any other UFC LHW.
Vitor/Babalu for #1 contender!!!!
he has the skills to beat chuck, thats for sure
i just fear for his mental state, Chuck is a bad man and Vitor sometimes fights like a little kid
if he came in ready to fight, hes definately capable of beating anyone in the world @ 205
vitor had a very close match with chuck.
i think he could win, but probably wont
Vitor is one of my favorites, and I'm not a big Lidell fan. With that being said, I don't think Vitor has a chance in hell in beating Lidell. Vitor lost his drive to win. He is not the Vitor of the late 90's/ early 00's. He shined under Carlson's watchful eye.
Babalu, on the other hand may have a great chance on beating Lidell. Especially now that he is on GBCT.
Babalu deserves as a shot first imo
Woulda, shoulda, coulda - Vitor had his chance and didn't! How about when Chuck whacked him in their fight - sat Vitor down on his ass like someone pulled a chair out from under him!
