belfort vs jardine…….now that would be a good scrap!!!!

I wouldn’t mind seeing him back, but not against Tito.

I agree that Jardine would make for a good opponent.

Vitor is sadly mistaken if he thinks Tito will fight for pride. He’s an arrogant, egotistical money-grubbing man-whore. He demanded a fight with Dana White of all people and then backed out when it was actually going to happen. He refused to give Rashad a rematch after he figured out he couldn’t beat Rashad in a fair fight. Tito only wants to put himself in situations where there is little to no risk of loss to his reputation that he’s been coasting on for the last five years.

He wanted to fight Dana White and Dana was ok with that? Really?

Can hardly count the win over Randy, was a poke to the eye and he got ruined in the rematch.

I completely agree! Well said.

I think Vitor has been washed up for years now, but anyone who is dying to rip Tito’s head off in my book is cool with me. I would only want to see him back if it against Tito…

Joe silva…Get-r-done.

UFCMania….u better stop being stingy with the assists, I posted this news a couple of hours ago buddy..lol

Bruce has it in one. Belfort can’t come back without a good fight, none of this ‘lets put Belfort against someone he’s gunna walk through’. To see if he still has what it takes, jardine is the only person (At the moment) who would be an ideal fighter. Rampage v Griffin, W Silva v Chuck, Hendersons fighting at middle against Anderson Silva. Jardine to fight Belfort. Get it on.

He wanted to fight Dana White and Dana was ok with that? Really?

where have you been???

his fight against Silva was by far the best combo ive ever seen….. he just bursted and kept throwing right and left until silva was knocked out… i can’t find the replay on youtube anyone know where i can find that clip again.. from UFC Brazil…??

The Phenom back would ROCK! :)

I think it would be a great fight. Especially since Tito is really just a stepping stone, this fight would make perfect sense.

Vitor Belfart is a hasbeen

Vitor Belfart is a hasbeen

so is Tito lol

belfort vs jardine…….now that would be a good scrap!!!!

man FUCK jardine!!!

It seems like there are a lot of guys calling Tito out right now. Didn’t Shogun state that he thought Tito would make a great opponent? Whether you consider Tito to be an A level fighter, B level, washed up, whatever, he clearly has some big money fights on the horizon that could make Dana a lot of money. Like him or not, Tito has made himself relevant and a solid draw for any PPV.

really dont know why everyone hates on tito so bad his last losses are to chuck..and he outworked rashad and forrest both of whom people are talking up
sure hes not what he used to be but lets get his rematch with rashad a chance and then pass judgment

Vit

Vitor Belfart is a hasbeen

Vitor was one of the marquee names those days..i wanna see him back, plus he’s not 30 yet, so he still has alot of fights in him.

man FUCK jardine!!!

lol..well said sir

if w.silva loses to the iceman then this would be a good fight for vitor – then tito …or whoever

vitor is done..

Vitor is just another one of those guys that time has passed by. He is a shell of the fighter that he used to be and I still do not doubt that he was a steroid user back then too, like everyone else. I much prefer watching a Titty Ortiz vs. “Shogun”.

I’ll like to see W. Silva get revenge!!!

Vitor went through some rough times. He’ll be back, like the old Vitor. Maybe even now.

We can all agree that Tito lost to Vitor, Griffin, and maybe Rashad. He is lame, I will be so happy when he losses.

Not only was he strung out on roids, he also used to cheat (i.e. his eye poke to Randy). Bringing a guy like that back to the UFC can only spell trouble, even if he isn’t really a hasbeen which remains to be seen.

Still, I would like to see him kick Jardine’s ass.

I’m not a Vitor fan but the home for this guy is in the Octagon, scrapping with the best of our sport!

Iv’e never really seen him fight.
So I’m all up for them bringing him in to watch.

where have you been???

I guess not doing a good job keeping track of this sport.
In my defense mmamania.com had no mention of it in Dana’s page or Tito’s. It looks like it was some joke boxing match. Dana is still crazy to want to get in the ring with Tito.

Vitor was the shit and if not for his small gas tank wouldve beat most people hes fought if not all. Vitor vs Shogun would be a great match as well as vitor vs Jardine or Vitor vs thiago silva, last but not least i wouldnt mind seeing vitor vs Houston if vitor still has his hand speed we could see houston being knocked the fuck out in his own area ‘stand up’.

Tito knows that fight, he lost. Vitor ripped off Eastman’s head (in a lot more devastating fashion than Rampage), he went the distance with Henderson, Sakurabi, and Liddell, and completely 100% destroyed Wand. Silva (in 44 sec.)!! Why the fuck shouldn’t he be in the UFC?

Dana is still crazy to want to get in the ring with Tito.

Dana used to be a boxing coach and Tito’s personal manager before the UFC. I am not saying he would have won, but it would have been intersting and I would have given him a shot.

Im sorry, but I have not seen Vitor Belfort since his tragic family accident.

Vitor has not had a real solid fight in a long time, and he looks terrible now.

Maybe a Tito/Vitor rematch would be nice, and I am all for Vitor coming back, but he has not had any exciting fights probably before the Super Saturday show.

Not to mention he is healthy now, and full of life again. He’s had a rough go, but he’s back in the winners circle. He also has wins over Southworth, and H. Herring. Ask Rampages coach who has the fastest and hardest hands in mma and he’ll tell you Belfort. He can bang with the best, AND mike Tyson will tell you the same.

VITOR WAS A FUCKIN BADASSS IN HIS PRIME!!!!!

VITOR WAS A FUCKIN BADASSS IN HIS PRIME!!!!!

Agreed. His family thing though really messed him up..

Sounds like somebody is jonesing for some money. I’m not a huge fan of him or the other continegent from Fart Brazil but think it would be great to see him back in the cage. I’m going to Pizza Hut now. CYA

The thing Vitor has is definate name recognition. Under 30? Wow, I didn’t know that. He could still regroup and make a solid charge. ALL of the current UFC champs are over 30 (except Rampage).

Man, Vitor in the UFC now sets up some killer ppv’s.

I wouldn’t mind seeing him back, but not against Tito.
I agree that Jardine would make for a good opponent.

Yes totally agree. No need to see Tito fight anyone cuz he is a scrub and a fight with Vitor would be a boring Sherk style fight. Lay and Pray for 3 rounds.

To a true ufc fan Vitor will sell tix like a mofo. when he was 19 he was kickin ass in the ufc LHW div.

VITOR WAS A FUCKIN BADASSS IN HIS PRIME!!!!!

Maybe give Vitor a setup match on Feb 2, then vs Tito on May 3. It is rumored that Tito will fight on that card, Cinco De Mayo, etc… or even vs. Lyoto. I still however would like to see Shogun vs. Tito. The winner will move up in ranks, and the loser is pretty much done.

Man, he used to be my favorite fighter. Looking back now, it seems he propably was on steroids. He was so damn hyper-aggresive. Like a speeded up houston alexander. Somehow if he can get that back, I don;t know, maybe a sponsorship deal with redbull. And then just drink like five redbulls before a fight he could come out and kill Tito. I still think he won that fight with tito.

Vitor is only explosive for the 1st round if he’s standing. After that he’ll gas out, lose his speed and heart. He’s also a conceded prick to the fans at times… so I’ve heard… I don’t think he has what it takes to make a successful climb up the UFC ladder, however he’s a possible spoiler because he’s so intially explosive that he could catch anyone and knock them out.

I for one am not a fan of, Vitor “GAs OUt” Belfort.

Not to mention he is healthy now, and full of life again. He’s had a rough go, but he’s back in the winners circle. He also has wins over Southworth, and H. Herring. Ask Rampages coach who has the fastest and hardest hands in mma and he’ll tell you Belfort. He can bang with the best, AND mike Tyson will tell you the same.

Vitor Belfort’s last notable win was just about 4 years ago, and it was a very questionable win at that. I am literally sitting here LAUGHING MY ASS OFF because someone said that Vitor Belfort is the man because he hold a win over Bobby Southworth. LOLOLOLOLOL. Southworth is a joke with a record barely over 500 fighting complete scrubs. I still can’t believe that Southworth had a fight in PRIDE. Maybe Rampage backed out of the fight last minute due to injury and they plugged Southworth in hoping most of the fans over there wouldn’t even tell the difference.

Mike Tyson said what? It doeesnt matter what Mike Tyson says. If you offer Mike Tyson $2, he will say anything, and let you quote him. That is, as long as you can understand what he says and it makes sense.

vitor used to be my favorite fighter by far and you can’t really blame him for going downhill (his sister was kidnapped and presumably killed by drug dealers for the few who don’t know) but he looked just alright in the serati fight and all he did in the zikic fight was lay and pray. i don’t think the ufc will even consider him if they’ve seen his last fight.

Don’t worry about the Silva Vitor fight. It was over in about 26 seconds. Silva came in with a looping wide open shot, and the vitor punched his face all the way across the cage and Silva fell over and vitor punching him until the ref could run over and stop it. Not exactly one of Wanderlie’s more glamourous moments.

Man, Vitor in the UFC now sets up some killer ppv’s.

Yeah, like a Vitor Belfort vs Tank Abbott main event that will only be ordered at the biker bar. Or how about Vitor Belfort vs Pedro Rizzo – that’s a blockbuster fight for 2007!(sarcasm)

The UFC LHW division is already stacked with talent, and a bunch of gatekeepers, and even a handful of scrubs. The UFC does not need or want Vitor. Vitor needs money, therefore, he needs the UFC.

man FUCK jardine!!!

The Jardine that owned Chuck Liddell you mean? He’d slay Vitor no probs. Much as I’m certainly not a big fan of Jardine, anyone who disses him or doesn’t rate him knows nothing about the sport :/

jardine….beat griffin, griffen then ran out of the ring crying

jardine lost to alexander “in my eye’s his only loss” , i think he got ripped in the bonnar fight personaly"

griffin then beats ramirez

jardine then wins over who? ohhh yeah The Ice Man chuck
liddell

griffin then beats rua " yeah..one of the best mma fighters on the planet and he’s young…but he was making his cage debut…plus there is a few big rules he has to get used to.
alot of pride guys are having trouble adapting …well… except silva and rampage… ohh yeah plus sobral has beat rua who chuck has beat twice

jardine is 5-2 in the octagon were griffin is 6-2 with 2 wins over the great metro sexual american psycho…lol

fuck jardine how about "jardine should have faught griffin part 2 instead of trying to keep griffin the poster boy!…he’s good …not that good though!!

thats why i said jardine vs belfort tito’s just a little bitch as of lately!!!

if belfort comes back..nobody kid themselves …he’s not coming back to the greatest mma organization on earth, to not try and steel the show!!

Man, there’s never anything wrong with a bit more talent.

I’d be excited as all hell to see Vitor back.
Although after he went to England to fight for Cage Rage whilst suspended in the states, I get the feeling that the US athletic commissions are going to be somewhat pissed off at him.

Which might strain the relationship between the athletic commissions and the UFC if they were to re-sign him.

Dilemma.

Vitor is sadly mistaken if he thinks Tito will fight for pride. He’s an arrogant, egotistical money-grubbing man-whore. He demanded a fight with Dana White of all people and then backed out when it was actually going to happen.

really dont know why everyone hates on tito so bad his last losses are to chuck..and he outworked rashad and forrest both of whom people are talking up
sure hes not what he used to be but lets get his rematch with rashad a chance and then pass judgment

If you need someone to explain to you why we dont respect tito you muight as well stop watching mma!

He is the JOKE of the UFC

Vitor would bitch-slap Tito this time around. Vitor has done far better than Tito in most if not all of their shared opponents.

Shogun vs Belfort in Brazil!

Belfore you have no shot at beating ortiz,you should just hang it up pal you are a washed up bum,hey i gotta a idea join fedor in the no man league and get a popular name on fighting more bums!

Tito would beat the crap out of Vitor. Vitor was hot shit in the early day of the UFC. When guys like Scott Ferozo and Tank Abbott were big shots. Then the talent level went WAY up and other than a win over a very young Wanderlei Silva he hasn’t done anything. Tito whipped him once and he would do it again.

I don’t even like Tito that much but you guys hate him so much it makes me want to defend him.

Tito would man-handle Vitor. He beat up on Rashad which was a bullshit draw. Tito also beat Griffin, who Dana White called the #1 light heavyweight.

Maybe give Vitor a setup match on Feb 2, then vs Tito on May 3. It is rumored that Tito will fight on that card, Cinco De Mayo, etc… or even vs. Lyoto. I still however would like to see Shogun vs. Tito. The winner will move up in ranks, and the loser is pretty much done.

You’ve got to be kidding me…. Even if Shogun lost, he is far from done. In my opinion he is the best fighter at 205. I don’t know what happened against Griffin, but I can only imagine he had an adrenaline dump or something. Watch his Pride fights, the guys is unbelievable.

The Jardine that owned Chuck Liddell you mean? He’d slay Vitor no probs. Much as I’m certainly not a big fan of Jardine, anyone who disses him or doesn’t rate him knows nothing about the sport :/

He was far from owning Chuck.. The only thing he did was kick him in the ribs… And that was while Chuck was punching him in the face…Yeah he knock Chuck down, but he wasn’t hurt, and Chuck dropped Jardine to a knee. If you looked at them both it looked to me that Chuck won. Vitor could easily take Jardine down and pound the shit out of him.

i wanna see him fight Rampage. (Juanito vs. Vitor)

victor dropping to 185 might be scary, knock some heads in the dirt,
but overall glad to see him back, hope they sign him he needs a second chance with what happened with his sister being kidnapped and all.

I don’t think anyone has brought it up yet but how about Houston vs Vitor. That would be a slugfest!

Shogun is younger than GSP. Two losses in a row and he’s done? I don’t think so.

Belfort could drop anyone he wants to. This would be a great addition to the 205 lb division

Vitor was badass back in the day, but i don’t want him ending up a joke like ken shamrock. I have to much respect for him and I don’t want to see him go out that way.

ORTIZ…will steamroll through the competition this tear i know he wants to prove himself again and i guarantee he will fight anyone who wants to get in his way….yhe old ortiz is back and he will dominate once again….bring it on belfore,shogon,jardine, rampage, silva!!!

Vitor vs Tito 2
Vitor vs Chuck 2
Vitor vs Wandi 2

and there can some other fun match ups to see with Belfort in the lhw pic.

man i like Tito, but you hit that nail on the head

I wish everyone would STOP MAKING EXCUSES when they lose a fight! “My back hurt.” Really? Don’t take the fight. “He was laying on me and bleeding all over me.” Try getting out from underneath, stupid. “I tired in the last round.” Are you for f***ing real? Get in better shape before a fight. If you train hard and fight intelligently there’s no need to make excuses. If not then you’re excuses are your own, Vitor!

Honestly it would be a good fight for each of them. If tito won well it would give him a legit NAME win. If Vitor wins, than it would at least build a little hyp around him, which Im sure there will be (like there is when anyone wins)

Belfore you have no shot at beating ortiz,you should just hang it up pal you are a washed up bum,hey i gotta a idea join fedor in the no man league and get a popular name on fighting more bums!

K explain to us how Belfort has no chance. Is it because Vitor is faster, stronger, and has far more martial arts credentials. I don’t know if you know this but, Ortiz just tied Rashad Evans and barely squeaked by Griffin. Just reminding you. ORTIZ2001BABY!!!

that guy is on tito so hard he can’t see the truth.

rampage in the summer of 08? tito is smarter than people give him credit for…why fight top fighters all the time when you can fight a few and get that title shot?he will fight anybody the ufc throws in front of him to get where he wants to be.

LOL He pre-faced his comments with “I like Tito” and then you call him a hater? Just because he’s not on Tito’s nuts doesn’t mean he’s a fan. He’s a realist, that’s all.

PS Pass that dutch….

im reminding you mike also…tito already beat this washed up bum ass belfor,and if you watched the same fight i did titobeat rashad and you and everybody knows it,tito is a more skills than belfore plus he been fighting better competition over the last couple of years,with that being said belfor i bet tito says bring your punk ass on.

Hey ortizbaby, Belfor(T) is most def the better fighter, we’ll just see who has better night. The Iceman could’nt finish Belfort, and look what he did to ortiz (twice). Tito should start small with Bisping. All those guys are with/around Rashad’s level.

Tito can’t handle guys like Belfort or Shogun. He’s just all washed up now, he used to be maybe ok, now he’s not. Tito is all washed up.

tito is a more skills than belfore

You have my permission to slap your English teacher.

Seriously though, I think both fighters are at the same level, and for either side to claim they would run over the other is likely mistaken.

PS When exactly in 08 is your baby w/ Tito due?

Shogun is younger than GSP. Two losses in a row and he’s done? I don’t think so.

You’ve got to be kidding me…. Even if Shogun lost, he is far from done. In my opinion he is the best fighter at 205. I don’t know what happened against Griffin, but I can only imagine he had an adrenaline dump or something. Watch his Pride fights, the guys is unbelievable.

next year he will have to change his name to ortiz!!!09 when tito does not come through in 08

Im not sure how much Vitor has left in the tank. I wouldnt mind finding out. With his hand speed and power combined, that still makes him dangerous. He might gas out quick but in that first round he could give us a scare. Fuck it. Put him in there with Houston and let the Fireworks fly. You know someone would get KTFO!!!

I’d like to see Vitor back in the UFC.I say let it be against a new opponent though.what is it with Tito fighting the same boring fights again!? do or die Tito, please fight anyone…after Rashad who you have not fought before….you know I’m reading this myself and it kind of doesn’t make sense.reaD it a few times you should get the gist.

next year he will have to change his name to ortiz!!!09 when tito does not come through in 08

Hey ortizbaby, Belfor(T) is most def the better fighter, we’ll just see who has better night. The Iceman could’nt finish Belfort, and look what he did to ortiz (twice). Tito should start small with Bisping. All those guys are with/around Rashad’s level.

hey…kman….if the iceman couldn’t finish this bum then i dont know what to tell you….tito already beat this bum…NEXT…and if he wants a rematch he will have to earn it,this man is a wast of time for tito to beat up again tito is going to get the right fights to get that title back by the end of 08,you tito haters are just gonna have to deal with it TITO IS HERE TO STAY!

i hope next year he fights the top guys and if he wins than you can throw it in or faces.

YES. a rematch against TITO is IDEAL. Both fighters have lost their ranks among the top level competition. The are in the same boat right now, let’s see the fight.

vitor used to be my favorite fighter by far and you can’t really blame him for going downhill (his sister was kidnapped and presumably killed by drug dealers for the few who don’t know) but he looked just alright in the serati fight and all he did in the zikic fight was lay and pray. i don’t think the ufc will even consider him if they’ve seen his last fight.

Well against Zikic he had a broken left hand…so obviously couldnt bang and took it to the ground! He destroyed Serati (who to be honest is a unknown fighter but was a bigger and stronger fighter)…I think Tito is the perfect return and re-match for Vitor…he got robbed the 1st time and he badly wants Tito which shows the fighter he is! You can see it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ErJlcLQMj5o
Also everyone talking smack how Sakuraba battered Vitor must know why…Vitor dominated him at the start with vicious strikes…but broke his hand/hands so tried to get Sakuraba into his guard and dropping down…but yeh Sakuraba took full advantahe of this and punished him! War Vitor!

I WANT 2 C HIM BACK IN THE U.F.C. ASAP

People only remember the last real big fight for Vitor.(Tito) and yes it was a close fight. I would like to see anyone else try to fight at the highest level, while one of their family members are missing, or with a broken hand. It is too soon to say that Vitor is washed up. Can you remember who was the last fighter to beat Randy other than Chuck? It was Vitor & you can say that it was stopped to early, or on purpose… “bullshit” a cut is a cut! Maybe he’s not on the level of RAMPAGE anymore but who is? I think Vitor is what the 205 class needs. It would be a lot better than seeing Bisbing fight, well… ANYONE. He is still a fan favorite. At least to the Elite fan!!! Not fans that just watch PPV events.

Belfor back in the octagon would be a good idea! the fact that he’s still young would make a lot of the light heavyweights scratch their heads…

I think he would have been one of the best, if all of that didn’t happen in his life (with his family).

Tito used to be a fighter,Years ago,Now Hes a fame whore-
