Anderson Silva v/s Vitor Belfort

White says the fight is a go. Who you got ?

 

Silva.

 

Silva

I think this one is ending in the first round either way.

 

Silva by KO.

 

Belfort by KO.

 

Who the hell knows how Belfort will look at 185 now. The guy beats Rich Franklin at a catch weight and now he's challenging for the title in a weight class he's never even visited in the UFC. Crap.

Personally I think Silva makes Belfort look silly on his feet and knocks him out with a counter shot in the 2nd.

Belfort will attack and I think that plays perfectly into Silva's game. I said if before the Sonnen fight and I'll say it now, the only style that beats Silva is a great wrestler.

I don't personally buy into the notion that Silva is shot or slipping. Sonnen was just a bad style matchup. Belfort is not. Belfort is hand made for the Spider.

 

Don't forget that Sonnen dropped Silva. If Sonnen can Vitor will not only drop him but put him to sleep.

 

It was a slip.

 

Second one was a slip

 

Sonnen legitimately dropped Silva.

 

The first one never happened..

Pointing and laughing doesn't make your false statements any more true.

 

Does this make it any more true ? His hand touching the ground to keep himself up = knockdown

 

Not only was it a knockdown.He was hurt for a minute after his hand touched the ground,he even went for a shoot on Sonnen to buy time which was pretty out of character for Silva.

 

I got a question though.Who is the best standup fighter Silva's ever fought in his MMA career? Because I can't remember anyone that's worth a damn

 

Silva obviously didn't think much of Sonnen's stand up, he got caught early, so what? That means nothing as far as Belfort is concerned. Silva will EXPECT a striking match with Vitor, it was probably the last thing he expected out of Sonnen.

 

Who would you consider "worth a damn" ?

 

Lee Murray, Rich Franklin, Patrick Cote, and Nate Marquardt.

 

Vitor is in a different class than all those mentioned.

 

Based on what? What good strikers has Vitor ever stopped?

 

Probably Lee Murray.

 

This isn't boxing and it's dumbass rules. Not a knockdown.

 

Based on the fact that he fought one of them and completely destroyed him ?

 

A knockdown is a knockdown. A Sonnen punch knocked him down. Put him on the floor (his hand at least) That's a knockdown buddy stop being stubborn and say you were wrong and lets move on

 

Wanderlei Silva?

 

I'll give him that one. At the Time it happened, Silva was not shot like he is today.

 

A knockdown is when the guy leaves his feet. Hence, "knocked down"

That's not a knockdown

 

:atu: WAS a good striker.

 

What?
