This fight between Fedor and Vitor seems very odd as Vitor has moved down to 185, and now he’s moving up to heavyweight to fight the best in the world at that weight class. Evidently, Tompkins, Vitor and their team were looking for a fight with Fedor at some point. They surely didn’t anticipate this happening on 10 days notice.
Vitor has some great speed and boxing technique, but the strength, ground and pound, size, mental strength and just ability to find wins to win and deal with adversity gives Fedor an edge. You’ve got to give the advantage to a fighter considered one of the best, or the best fighters in the planet.
