Around SBN: Jeremy Lin's Game-Winner Was Incredible, Worth Remembering

Vitor Belfort injured and out of UFC 112 title fight with Anderson Silva

9665-asilvabelfort_medium

Here we go again.

The injury bug that bit the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) through early winter has reared its ugly fangs once again.

Kevin Iole at Yahoo!Sports.com delivers the sad news. 

Vitor Belfort is injured (shoulder) and off UFC 112 title fight with Anderson Silva. Confirmed by Dana White. More details to come.    

"The Phenom" and "The Spider" were initially penciled in to collide at UFC 108 earlier this year; however, minor elbow surgery for Silva postponed the Brazilian brawl until UFC 112 at the Concert Arena from Ferrari World, Yas Island, Abu Dhabi, on Saturday, April 10.

Perhaps it's just not meant to be -- Belfort even seemed uncomfortable with the quick title shot after a first round destruction of former 185-pound division champ Rich Franklin in a 195-pound catchweight fight on Sept. 19, 2009.

In fact, he admitted that Nate Marquardt more than likely deserved the nod over him. Nonetheless, he accepted the bout, twice, and both times the plans have had to be scrapped.

Star-divide

Waiting in the wings, of course, is Chael Sonnen, who utterly dominated Marquardt at UFC 109: "Relentless" this past weekend; however, he sustained a humongous gash on his forehead during the three-round unanimous decision win and was slapped with a lengthy medical suspension.

Sonnen, according to the Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC), is not allowed to spar until March 24, giving him little time to truly prepare to battle a worldclass and dangerous opponent such as Silva. Regardless, Sonnen indicated in several post-fight interviews that he would be ready just in case something like this happened.

It's a tall order, considering Silva hasn't really lost in more than five years (sans a disqualification loss to Yushin Okami in 2006), and he's essentially obliterated the middleweight division since entering the Zuffa fold in mid 2006.

Whether or not the promotion gives him the green light is still up in the air, and more than likely, currently the focus of heated debate in the UFC war room.

There are other options, of course.

Silva has recently competed against 205-pound fighters to give him more of a challenge. He passed with flying colors, sending former champion Forrest Griffin running for the hills and pasting James Irvin with a highlight-reel, fighting-ending combination.

Randy Couture, perhaps?

We'll have more on this breaking news as it happens. In the meantime, feel free to play matchmaker in the comments section below. Who ya' got?

I would love to watch Silva blast him.

anyways, on to the topic at hand.. im over it.. yeah im already over it.. lets face it, vitor didn’t want this fight. he already lost this fight before it was booked. i would rather see andy go back up and challenge there.. and i definitely dont want to see vitor get embarrassed, and turn into the shook belfort in his fights to follow.. we have seen this side of belfort before, and right now -imo, he is already showing early signs of mental shookness.. let vitor fight sonnen..

I have said this about Vitor for a while now...

By the way sticky, is it me or have you not posted in a long time?

Anyway, I had said that he is a mental midget whenever it comes to the big show. I mean injury aside, he was hesitant about fighting AS originally and I think that would have completely played into his past short comings, on the big stage. Like you said if he is not mentally there, I would much rather watch Andy tool someone at 205 or even have Chael step in on super short notice(although if Chael got owned there would always be the well he took the fight on short notice crap).

There was a moment last night, when she was sandwiched between the two Finnish dwarves and the Maori tribesmen, where I thought, "Wow, I could really spend the rest of my life with this woman".

Hold on guys, and who is this James Kimball getting all the front page pla?

How the fuck is Sonnen gonna step in? Did you miss the gash on his forehead? He’ll likely be on a 60 day no contact suspension and this event is less than 2 months away. So maybe Sonnen’s wish wasn’t granted! I don’t see how they’ll take Silva off this card, so maybe you should just report and not blindly post shit. My guess, a decent LHW

Cane has no name value, Rashad and Vera are booked for headliners, and Jardine can be knocked out with a pinecone these days.

Definitely Thiago, if Sonnen can’t be ready in time.

John Jones can be given someone like Jardine for the name if need be!

That would require a lot of rebooking. Jardine is scheduled for a blanket party with Bader in a couple weeks.

That's the fight I wanted to see at 105, it would have been a privilege to watch my hero destroy that arsehole in his "hometown"

Bisping wouldn’t last 3 minutes, and even that’s generous and is just taking into account Andy feeling pity for him.

Yeah. The fact that the card is happening overseas makes me think Akiyama could be an option. But out of those options, I’d roll with Thiago. That would be fun while it lasted. Thiago would look like he is punching underwater with weights around his wrists compared to Anderson.

the problem with having 2 sluts is....

that theres always that one slut who likes the coke way too much….so while you’re busy with the one slut the other will sneak off like shes going to the bathroom and the next thing you know 20 minutes laters shes already 1/3rd through the entire supply…

which is fairly easy when a slut like this is cutting out quarter gram lines….see when you start putting odd number people in with coke the odd person is always doin more than their share which means cutting into the other 2 people’s share…and if you’re distracted by fucking the other slut then you dont even notice….

till later you’re like….WTF…i thought we had a quarter ounce??? we aint got but a gram and a half left…and me and her only had a few lines….where the fuck is the rest? and the guilty bitch has already headed out the door saying “oh i need to make a call real quick”

this is an opportunity to see what anderson/soares are all about. lets see if cold soare bitches about andrson’s subpar replacement earning a title shot? my guess is that only the top competition warrents that line of thinking from the silva camp.

Gegard Mousasi would be a great fight since we probably won’t see Vitor fight Andy (EVER). I also agree Andy’s a better fighter. It would however be a huge draw and a way to stifle the critics around the world if Gegard were possible. This is as possible as most of speculative match ups presented here.
Vitor would have been thrown a beating by Andy anyway. I guess in reality Thiago Silva would be someone I’d love to see get KO’d by Andy. So of any real possibility I choose that beating to watch.

The champion fighting without the belt on the line is pointless, and sets a bad precedent (unless the challenger misses weight like Lutter). If the champ is fighting in the weight class in which he holds the title, it must be on the line. If you beat the champion, then you obviously are a legitimate champion yourself… it pissed me off when Strikeforce had Mousasi fighting Soko in a non-title fight a few months ago.

Several people talking about Randy…no. He got outstruck by Nog, what do you think will happen vs Anderson? I do not think the UFC will even think about that either, Joe Silva knows how terrible an idea that would be. Either delay the fight for a month (if Vitor can recover from whatever his injury, or by then Chael can fight) NO 205 FIGHTS please. It has already been forever since Anderson defended, no need to push it back another 7 or 8 months by wasting this fight on a meaningless 205 fight

Apparently,

Vitor is out for 4 months after shoulder surgery and that’s just before he can resume training. He mentioned hopefully being ready by the end of the year to return to action. Just FYI

Anderson is garbage

I was not impressed with any of andersons performances, frankly he is over rated.GSP is better and so isufc 111.Im over this fight,its been happening for the longest time.

LOL Anderson is garbage?!

 I don’t mean to be rude but that is a retarded statement. It’s fine if your not a fan of his but C’mon he has made good fighters look bad.

What about Cote?

I think it’s sort of interesting don’t you think? Or I know this is redundant but Franklin maybe?

by Shainoc on Feb 11, 2010 11:16 PM EST reply actions  

You couldn’t pay Franklin enough money to get back into the cage with Anderson. And the fans wouldn’t pay any money to see it.

If you were an educated fan, you probably wouldn’t call the best P4P fighter in the world garbage just because you lost some money by foolishly betting against him.

Nate and Hendo must be pissed!

Nate looked past Sonnen, which is the only reason he lost. in a rematch against Sonnen, Nate would destroy him. Hendo has to be furious too, cause he was rightfuly in line tlo fight anderson.

if only Dana hadnt spent money on dumb assholes like Kimbo, he coulda kept Hendo! Fucking Dana White!

Its gotta be Silva v Silva! I wish it were Rashad v Anderson, just cause Rashad has comprable speed…

Fuck you! I'm an ANTEATER!

Can someone answer this.

I was on the UFC site looking at the fighters in the spiders wieght class, just seeing who could maybe be thrown at him and I saw Pat Miletich listed as a fighter. whats up with that? If they are not a acting fighter, there not on the list. Is he coming back or I’m wrong on that?

mmasavy you shouldnt watch mma if silva cant impress you

all i can say is, wow the ufc sure is missing dan henderson about now

by Jesse13 on Feb 12, 2010 2:10 AM EST reply actions  

In retrospect, the ufc should've booked Hendo for this fight.

But who would’ve thought Vitor would get injured and Nate would lose.

by kden808 on Feb 12, 2010 6:14 AM EST reply actions  

Silva dodges a big bullet

fuck this. The only fight that makes sense for him is Sonnen. He will destroy Maia, And Sonnen also but makes for a better fight. I bet Silva just pulls out all together probably to fight another irrelevant Light-Heavy match.

Vitor said it himself

Nate desreved the shot (deserved,) personally I dont think Vitor wanted to fight Anderson. Vitor has proven to us that he can throw punches in bunches but doesnt like to get hit himself. Im not sure why so many people think he is super tough because he isnt, he can just throw lots of punches, if he doesnt ko you then he is finished. Hendo and I thought Nate were the only tywo guys out there right now that could make a fight with Anderson, obviously now Sonnen looks like they guy. I just dont get how Vitor is allowed to come back and have his name mixed up with these guys, they would all kill Vitor!!!

sonnen trains with hendo. i'm sure hendo will give him pointers

i’m thinking GnP victory for sonnen if he ever fight anderson. anderson is just one good game plan away from getting exposed.

by Conan the Barbarian on Feb 12, 2010 5:37 PM EST reply actions  

silva's strikes set up that submission.

if sonnen tkeeps it on the ground, silva will never sub him.
