Which Vitaly? Are we talking about the 39-year old who has had a back surgery, multiple knee surgeries and scopes on both knees, and a shoulder surgery? If that's the Vitaly you are talking about, I still give Vitaly the edge over Brock by a huge margin but Brock will have a chance if he takes him down but Vitaly won't let that happen. If you are talking about a young Vitaly, then he takes him out in less than 10 seconds like Fedor took Sylvia out, with simple strikes.
Vitaly was a kickboxer as well and his timing and reflexes are unmatched, all Brock can really do is try to bull-rush Vitaly, Vitaly will step back and land a hook to Brock's head and it will look like Kimbo vs Petruzelli 2.
Oh and I give Toney a decent shot of beating Couture but even if he looses, that doesn't mean **** because Toney is shot and old.
I wonder why Dana White never calls out boxers in their prime to fight in the UFC, only old shot ones and 140 pounders. Call out a top 10 HW and pay him the money he would get fighting for a major boxing belt, don't give him the $100K peanuts you give your fighters. Nah... he'll never do that.
LOL i agree but on the sherdog forums they all say vitali would get put on his ass and get smashd by Lesnar
Yeah, an MMA forum favours the MMA guy and a boxing forum favours the boxing guy. You can't be too surprised by that lol.
I don't know who would win, but I'd give Vitali a good chance. With bare knuckles he would only have to land one punch to win, and while Brock could take him down, Vitali is bigger and stronger than anyone Brock has faced in the past.
Vitali has a kickboxing background, and has previously fought well backing up, timing his punches at an aggressive opponent. If Brock rushes in then he gets stretched out IMO. He'd have to time things very well to get past VK's reach advantage and punches.
By the way, I have never really agreed with the 'most street fights end up on the ground' stuff. A lot of street fights end very quickly, because if a fully grown man hits someone on the chin then that person is going down. If you hit someone the same size as you with your best punch, chances are they are going to be badly hurt, at least temporarily.
