I think Vitor should consider retiring, Respect!!
Vitor is done, his body looks depleted like those pro bodybuilder’s.
It is called palumboism, that is when your body starts to look weird and alien-like from years of steroids use.
I hope casual fans realize Mousasi is for real. Also hoping his takedown defense has improved.
