Next Middleweight Title Fight?

U could be right Ludo.

In all fairness Vitor would have fought for the title at Abu Dhabi had he not gotten injured. I think if he's healthy he should get his shot simply because he represents the only possible striking threat Anderson has had in the UFC to date(besides what Chael was able to do to him, I'm talking pre saturday mentality here).

I don't disagree, Tim. I think the UFC wants to dtrike while the iron is hot with Vitor.

well though I am against the instant rematch, I don't see Vitor iron as being anything more then lukewarm at the moment. Chael is the guy swinging the hot iron.

We would be saying that had he not been caught in a triangle. That fight would have been 50-44 if not worse than that.

woulda coulda shoulda.

And despite the domination, Chael tapped at the first chance he got. He was in the choke for what? 1.5 secs?

Yeah Chael is the hot guy and after watching him vs Spider I really want to see the rematch.

Pretty sure he tapped to the armbar not the triangle and he was in it longer than that anyway and obviously that late in the fight your running low on gas

Actually he didn't tap until after he got a base under himself and tried to step over. Being too tired led him to lose balance where he crumbled and tapped.
