Why does Vitor's bandwagon keep rolling so strongly? He hasn't done much in three years or more, yet his fans stay so loyal to him. This is very interesting to me, and very uncommon in the world of MMA.

Vitor is more like a football team whose fans follow through the bad years, just hoping the team is going to turn it around.

Discuss?
I think that it has to do with longevity. Vitor's been around awhile, while the other 3 have come around relatively recently. Also, Vitor ran over Legends when he stormed the UFC. I can't say the same for those other 3.

PS. I still like Leben
