With Vitor Belort saying he wants back in the UFC, what impact do you think he'll have in the LHW division? I'd love to see him back if he fights the way he used to....thoughts??

God here we go again...... i have honestly told myself "never again" about 4 or 5 times now....never again will i get excited about Vitor Belfort and the hopes that he actually comes to fight.

But im sure if he signs again i will fall into the trap and get excited that maybe, just maybe he will come out with some aggresion.

Either that or he is still as good as he was in 1997.....as good, but no better. I mean think about it man! He was fighting in UFC 12!!!

the 'old vitor' ain't coming back. we can forget about that. however, i still think he can have an impact. if not on the fighting side, on the business side. he's still popular in brazil and the ufc is trying to grow globally. there are a few rematches that would attract fans, such as wandy and tito, and possibly chuck.

This guy has so much potential, I wonder how a hungry Vitor, who isn't currently depressed about the situation with his sister in Brazil, will do again in the UFC. It all begins with his first fight, if he is able to finish his opponents, and if he can beat Tito Ortiz (if the UFC sets that up).

Can you imagine? Vitor Belfort vs Houston Alexander, Belfort Vs Soukoudjou, ect..

good, i would love to see him fight liddell again. i think he would still make waves in the UFC. and who wouldn't want to see him fight silva again to see if there first fight was a fluke. i think he would be able to beat any of the TUF fighters and i think if he deserves any fight it would be a rematch with tito. hopefully he will be able to fight in the U.S. again and gets with a good team

There will be no impact. Vitor should just stay out of the UFC.

i just recently watched the liddell fight and noticed that he was able to take chuck down whenever he wanted. if vitor's head is right he has a great chance at beating anybody. if he does come back i want him to fight w. silva, chuck, or tito.

He cannot hang. He gasses out in the first 3 seconds of his fights.
