UFC Quick Quote: Anderson Silva will destroy Vitor Belfort on Jan. 2

It is true, it is true. Anderson Silva will destroy Vitor in an epic fashion. Silva 1st round KO.

negative. hands to fast. vitor has silvas number.

wow wandy is such a joke! he had maybe u good fights in the octogon then started talking trash about anderson silva now he’s pretty much sucking is balls in forgiveness cuz they made up.. wandy thingks belfort is gonna get his ass kicked. that’s funny coming fom a gu who got punked for his butt hard back in the day by belfort! keep sucking andersons balls wandy! ur a chump they should have u fight cro crop and then cut u both. maybe they can win in strikeforce or that waste of talent show holding the butterbean vs abbott

No, I don’t agree. I think this will be an epic fight, two guys with the best boxing in all MMA (Penn might have an argument as well). Vitor has his head on straight, Andy seems to be a little cocky as of late. Great fight, Vitor is catching him just @ the right time.

Forrest Grifin got destroyed because of his slow hand speed. Belfort does have fast enough hands that he should be able to compete with Silva, but Anderson’s head movement will be the deciding edge.

Vitor—Fast hands slow head movement
Silva—Fast hands fast head movement

Ah, no. Silva might win, but it aint gonna be a first round knockout. That’s absurd. Belfort is greased lightning in the first round.

silva for the win unless vitor catches him early. this should be dan’s fight, then i would pick dan by 4th round tko.

Agreed. Silva will destroy belfort. He is to big for belfort and to good. Belfort won’t be able to get to Silva and will get picked apart.

I’m calling it….after watching Vitor’s video blogs and watching him destroy Franklin in the first round in under 3 min?? I’m jumping on the Vitor bandwagon….this guy has finally got his mental game together. He is finally in the right state of mind to become a champion, hes older, wiser, and more skilled. Plus 185 is the perfect weight for Vitor because hes not too bulky at this weight. They didn’t call im the PHENOM for nothing, the dude is BAAAD. He destroyed guys back in the day at HW so him ad MW is insane. All his MW bouts have so far ended in 1st round KO’s (correct me if I’m wrong). He’s younger, faster, and has the power to put A. Silva out!!! I love Wanderlei, but he is talking through sour grapes because he got beat embarassingly back in the day.

I don’t understand how a guy who comes back into the UFC, doesn’t even fight at 185, then gets a title shot. Am I missing something when Hendo or Nate deserve it just a tad more?

with all do respect shut up u f*cken crackbaby! lol
hendo and nate had their chance already! they can try again after belfort. so let it go aight!

sexyama will tear wanderlei apart!!!

Looking forward to this fight more than any other, dream fight in my opinion as these are 2 of my favourites and right now I can’t call a winner. Andy will have the advantage in the later rounds but you can never count out Vitor and he’ll be very dangerous in the first. Biggest MW fight since Andy-Hendo and the first real challenge for Silva in a long time.

I think Silva might loose this fight, not because he doesn’t have the skills but he’s done with 185lbs. He wants to fight bigger size opponents. He’s thinking about Mir and others not Vitor.

This match up will depend on which Vitor Belfort shows up. If the one who has been devastating in his last three fights shows up I think Silva is going to be put to the test. I think Anderson is pound for pound the best fighter in the octagon right now but I think he and his supporters are getting a big head to go along with his amazing skills. I don’t care who you are there is always someone who has your number and maybe Vitor could be the man to take out Silva. Either way I think it will be a great fight.

Silva will knock out Vitor for sure. Vitor gives up once people start to hiy him back. Silva will for sure beat him physically and mentally. Vitor has a punchers chance but dont count on it Silva will never ger knocked out. 11 fight win streak after this one sided beat down. LOL

Let’s say Belfort is as fast as Silva, he doesn’t have the size. Silva will be taller, have a big reach advantage, and superior movement. He will also have the mental edge. I know some say the old Belfort is back, but do we really know that. He’s yet to be really tested at 185. He got off extremely easy with Rich. I say Silva will eventually pick Belfort apart.

Silva by intimidation!!! Vitor is weak, I still think Rich took a dive last weekend. Has anyone ever seen Rich lose like that before???? He is a warrior thats fights till the bitter end, the punch that supposedly rocked him just grazed is forehead, then he goes down and turtles. Something fishy going on there……….IMO!!!!!

I find it interesting that the majority of earlier posts said how wonderful it would be to have Belfort back in the UFC and how it would be such a good match up. Well, here’s the fight many of you wanted and now it’s all ‘Silva by 1st round KO’.

Really? Do you guys honestly think it will be that easy for Silva to beat Belfort? At the very least I will be a good 3 rounds of action, unlike Silva vs FG/Leites/Cote (actually I think the Cote fight was good, he was going to lose but at least it was good until his knee gave out). We should get our money’s worth out of this one.

Either way, anyone against Silva is going to get the same kind of comments for total annihilation… there’s no thought in these discussions anymore, just the forgone conclusion that Silva is always going to win. He’s a phenomenal fighter, don’t get me wrong, but if sports history has taught us anything is that everyone loses at some point.

I got andy by tko in 2nd, tho upset is possible but not by ko, maybe a submission if anything
But even if belfort wins, he won’t hold on to the belt cus dan will rough him up again, maybe even nate

If Silva beats vitor and hendo/marquardt then who next? he has already said he won’t fight machida, and i doubt anyone including shogun is going to take that belt anytime soon. so will silva be the guy to beat brock?

coming from a guy who vitor destroyed, lol.

Wanderlei sounds a bit too biased against Vitor. I thought they were cool cause they trained together at Extreme Couture? Anyway Belfort destroyed him over a decade ago so Silva has no room to talk about him although i would love to see them in a rematch. If belfort losses to Anderson then Dana can make it happen. I guess Wandy has his opinion but i doubt that the new Belfort would get destroyed by A. Silva he may lose by Sub or if he fatigues or maybe a decision but not get killed, he is not Forest Griffin or Rich Franklin lets be realistic. I actually think that at the moment Vitor has the best chance against Anderson Silva. As for Dan Henderson vs. Vitor Belfort I know that Hendo beat him a while ago in PRIDE but that was before Vitor started coming back, Vitor just iced Matt “the law” Lindland who is Dan’s friend and training partner, they have similar fighting styles (Although Dan has better Stand up) and in a rematch Belfort would do better I guarantee it. Henderson is mad cause Vitor is fighting Silva instead of him getting a title shot, well too bad Hendo; maybe he shoulden’t have been chocked out by Silva the way he did. I remember him saying he was gonna kick Silva’s ass before the fight but that clearly never happend. Either way Belfrot vs. Silva for the title is a sick fight at least on paper.

Okay first off Anderson Silva will win over Vitor Belfort, Vitor has fast hands but he will just get tired out after throwing so many hits and nothing connects, as far as Anderson he is a really good dodger and his hits land just about every time!

As far as Dan Henderson and Anderson Silva, Dan lost to him already and do you really think Anderson didn’t learn how to take out Dan? I’m sure Dan thinks he knows how to beat Anderson but the problem with that is Anderson will switch up his game and throw Dan off and Dan will lose again…

I really don’t want to see another Anderson vs Dan, I want to see Anderson fight new people and see if any of them have a chance to take out someone that is undefeated in the UFC…

if vitor moves forward and throws i think its an even match. if vitor stands or moves backwards he will be picked apart. his reach will be short unless he moves forward the whole fight.

After watching Vitor this last year I think everyone is underestimating him. The speed and power DO account for something and even tho Silva is the 2nd most evasive mma fighter, i pick Vitor to win the stand up. ( i know, make fun all you want) If silva wins this fight, it WILL be on the ground.

Just one poor boys thoughts.
