    Are his striking ability and speed on par w/ Anderson's? Does he have the mental toughness?

    Pretty poorly I would think.

    He would do something along the lines of...lose or lose badly.

    I disagree with the first two posts. Technically Vitor still has excellent striking, is extremely strong and is an excellent grappler. Anderson doesn't really have the style to break him down like wrestlers Couture and Tito(which was a close fight). I think it'd be an interesting standup match.

    That was my thinking too. The things that I'm wary of are Vitor's mental toughness and his ability to deal w/ Anderson's knees and awkward angles.
