I would love for The Phenom to take this but i fear Lindland will just try to hold Vitor down for 3 rounds.
This may happen at Affliction 3 to give Vitor's hand time to heal.
Not sure on the result though.
I think either Lindland via boring UD or Belfort via 1st round KO/TKO
Not sure if I agree that it will be boring but I gurantee Lindland will be devastating.

My early prediction is that Lindland will break Vitor's will with takedowns and grind him into the canvas. If it's a championship fight, I think Lindland will KO Vitor eventually. If it's only three rounds then Lindland by dominating, albeit boring UD.

2 weeks ago I would agree with most saying Linland would grind out a win but after his last fight I think he showed he has a large layer of ring rust on him and at his age and with the political career going on I don't know if he will be able to get in the shape he needs to be in to win this fight. He took alot of punches in that last fight if he lets Vitor hit him like that it will be lights out.

I'm inclined to agree with you.
I say Vitor round 2.
RIP Lindland.

Two years ago this fight would have ben the shit. now thouogh Linland is a out of shape politician. And Vitor is looking like he is getting bak to his old ways at a lighter weight. i hope linland gets what he wishes for. Belfort vis TKO early 2nd
