Well, because I've never seen this Johnson fighting, I still can't say anything. But Vitor Belfort is a fighter who has a lot of agility in the box and who can punish him with pokes and punches completed the ziikaaa.
I already follow both Vitor and Anthony, they are both very strong, they are both very fast but it is easy to say where Vitor will win…. When Vitor calls him out for a fight, he'll fight... I'm sure Anthony will fight him, I'll throw him at Josh Koshek, I say he wasn't fighting and lost the fight, he's good, but when Vitor goes after him haha, it's over, it's Vitor from Brazil, as he says.
