Could be, but I've never heard of him. The thread title is horrible. It should say, 'Rumor is GTX 1080 is limited to 2-Way SLI'. Further in the video, he doesn't say they are limited and cites there are 3-way bridges. So...all in all I rank this as interesting but unconfirmed.

That would be worse wouldn't it? It does have 2 sli fingers.

Indeed. That would imply along with his statement of 3-way bridges that this entire thread is misleading.

The newer bridges only support SLI. Not 3-way or 4-way.

Then your 'reviewer' was wrong in citing 3-way bridges. You can't have it both ways. Well you can, but it's *misleading*.

Select "SLI" at top by green notify me button. Takes you directly to pic showing two cards in SLI. 
 
It doesn't say 2-way SLI.

Now you're being obsessively technical. LOL.

Should have just made it easier and they should just labeled the following for us nerds:
 
 
Bi-SLI= 2 cards
 
Tri-SLI= 3 cards
 
Quad SLI= 4 cards.

It's pretty simple.
There is 2/3/4-way SLI. Quad SLI is 2 dual GPU cards, such as the GTX 690, in SLI. It's been the established terminology for years. That someone has suddenly decided that SLI only means 2 cards seems kinda pedantic. Nobody uses it that way.

Quad SLI is different than 4-way SLI. You can only do quad sli with dual gpu cards.

No wonder it confuses people, and makes different people look at it so differently.
