I will admit I haven't seen too many of his fights outside the UFC. I was impressed with the Natal and Gracie wins. I did not see his complete stand-up displayed until the Bisping fight, from there it's difficult to assess how he would deal with highly regarded MW fighters.
His baiting of Bisping into exchanges did work however awkward it appeared. Machida and Vitor are just different animals, I refuse to believe he will close and pressure the gap without being picked apart from outside the ring. Does he have a reasonable chance against the high-profile Middleweight striker?
