As for the fast hands thing, it took me about 5 seconds to Google an article crediting him with having among the fastest hands in the UFC. (That was back when he was actually in the UFC obviously)
If you're argument is that all MMA fighters are "slow" compared to boxers then what you are actually referring to is efficiency of technique not actual handspeed.
Seems to be you who needs to check your "understanding" lol
I said McGregor's strike speed is WAY faster than anything Vitor threw.
The standards were lower back when Vitor was fighting. So "fast" back then, hell, Darnell Boone was faster than that.

I am telling you it's gonna be 2 minute rounds. Do a little research outside of boxingscene who didn't give the full scope. It's gonna be eight two minute rounds at 180lbs.
The fight, between 48-year-old De Lay Hoya and 44-year-old Belfort - is set to be a sanctioned professional contest, taking place at Staples Center, Los Angeles over eight two-minute rounds at 180lb.

Victor Belfort has been around forever. I just remember watching him in the 90s during Tank Abbot days lol. I liked him because he was a good striker by MMA standards but how long has he been retired?
oscar is going to whoop his ass severely.
