Gifted a title fight if you will
I would agree with that. Not to say I didn’t want to see this fight, because I do, but he is nowhere near the #1 contender at 185.
We fight, get beat, rise and fight again.
but hes the only challenger. Everyone else is just a needless excercise.
he will knock silva out. its true. its true
As we always suspected - Jackson's MMA secures another victory under suspicious circumstances. Freenow82 called it and is seldom wrong when pre diagnosing a Lay n Pray / Vaseline victory before it happens. Free 2 - BZ 3... I smell a come back.
I think Okami and Marquardt could make it a good fight
but I am with you, Vitor is the only guy who can fight at 185 who has a chance of knocking him out.
We fight, get beat, rise and fight again.
I dont know why I have to spell this out for everyone
Okami lost to Silva – it was a loss.
Marquardt was finished by Silva.
So Vitor is in —

Yep
No need to spell it out. Okami was getting beat, and then got KO’d. Illegal blow aside, he would have lost. However, the way this played out is fine by me. I like both fights.

"but hes the only challenger. Everyone else is just a needless excercise."
Chael Sonnen would disagree with you

Chael Sonnen is no longer an option

I haven't missed all that you say above
I am just saying they could also give him a good fight. I like this fight, it will be fun. But, if you are a purist, it is a problem.
We fight, get beat, rise and fight again.
this fight is total bullshit and a disgrace to the ufc who i've known to be corrupted for the past couple yrs anyway.
doesn’t matter if ppl think Belfort can beat Anderson Silva, he’s not going to have fought for over 15 months, he shouldn’t even be eligible to compete in a title fight. Yushin Okami should sue Dana White for racism.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic !
What?
That’s crazy. Okami is two fights removed from a loss to Chael Sonnen. The last time he almost got a title shot he lost to Rich Franklin. In the meantime, he won plodding, boring decisions and did zero to market himself.
Belfort on the other hand is by far the most marketable fight the UFC can make now. Race plays no roll when it’s time to make money. The Zuffa Bros and Dana are capitalists and could give a crap if fighter x is purple as long as he’s going to generate revenue. I think it’s unfortunate that you have that much baggage that the first thing you would think of is that the UFC is racist.

Maybe the Marquardt / Okami fight
But Belfort / Silva is going to be awesome.
by PetrozellisJab on Sep 22, 2010 7:47 PM EDT up reply actions
You know
that may be true. The bottom line is that the Chael got removed from the rematch and Belfort would have fought Anderson in April if it wasn’t for the injury. He’s healthy now and the title needs to be defended so here we go.
by PetrozellisJab on Sep 22, 2010 7:51 PM EDT up reply actions
There is NO ONE ELSE
Chael is gone
Yushin lossed and will lose to Silva
Marquardt is not a shoe in because of recent losses and akward victories.
No science. It’s called building a marketable fight with a legit contender.

What's funny is, he won't win!
Anderson Silva is by far the number one P4P king!!! Even when he is losing a fight he still comes back and finishes for the win! GSP dominates the whole fight and still can't finish! LOL

I think you meant, “moot point.” You’re welcome. I know how much people love to be corrected. ;)

Lol. Silva nuthuggers delusions know now boundaries. Take a gander at their records and see if Okami lost to Silva.
By this logic I should nutshut and knee and kick downed opponents because I can “win” the fight.

frosnt - you talking to me?
in order to properly diagnose myself as a Silva nuthugger.. well sir.. you have got your work cut out for you.
I picked Chael in the first fight. And Im calling for Vitor Ko in this fight.
I site facts buddy boy… and you can’t tell me anything about that ROTR fight that suggests Okami won based on his own performance. Sloppy argument.
technical win… but a loss in the eyes of fans and matchmakers everywhere.

andy's loss to okami is about as legitimate as fedor's 1st lost
the brockness monster grinds up teenagers and puts them in his protein shakes..and uses razor blades to chop toddlers up into lines to snort like meth...the reason no one can find bigfoot is because the brockness monster found him years ago and now has him in numerous ziplock bags in the back of his freezer...

Hella knows whats up.

In that case Vera beat Jones…because Jones was basically knocked out by Vera’s upkick when he was downed and vera had to stop or get DQd. by ur logic he shoulda just went apeshit on Okami.
Might Silva have beaten Okami IF HE HADN"T BLATANTLY CHEATED? Of course. But he didn’t, he fucking lost because he did something illegal. In no way is cheating a win.
Chael Sonnen: Last time I defeated the myth, this time I'll defeat the man.
So...hyped...

I just can’t look at Andy vs Okami the same way your using Jones vs Vera.
IMO. Brutal comparison. But i applaud your effort. And appreciate the reply.

You guys need to go the Sherdog fightfinder becuase
obviously you’ve never seen how that fight ended. Okami ftw. Seriously though i don’t get it chael essentially showed the obvious that Andy’s wrestling sucks and that if you have enough ground awareness you should be able to grind him out. Okami is a grinder and unlike Fael, he’s a great top position grappler. So how come everyone is so down on him being able to win? Did we just see Sonnen almost pull it off with same strategy? Didn’t he blow it with essentially the same technical mistakes that have plagued his entire career? But nope all ofa sudden it’s a new reborn striker who long long ago knocked out Scotty and Abbott that’s supposed to dethrone the best striker we’ve seen yet in MMA? But what the hell do i know.

I saw the Okami fight with Silva... meh. Not amazing really
Okami shoots gets stuffed and flops on his back… so the fuck what??? Then he shoots grabs a single and Anderson thinks about a triangle before hitting the upkick
Anderson is 500% better than then
What fight are you watching. This is unlike you NNR

Anderson's bottom game still sucks.
He’s aggressive with subs but doesn’t mean shit if the guy on top can shut you down. That’s why against the better guys he closes them up with that body triangle which i mean you’re not really supposed to do in BJJ. Thats one of the main reasons i was hoping to see him against a top BJJ player(that’s been a dud). But Okami is a lot better as well……now he can somewhat defend himself standing. hell i would give him a better shot at beating andy than i would vitor. Vitor unless he goes back to his 2001 version (aka the wrestler) then it’s uphill battle fighting andy on his strenght. Okami on the other hand would be as i described above. Now that i think abot though……even if vitor by some miracle KO’s andy…i mean does anyone think he can beat Marqy or Okami? IMO the whole reason why dana leap frogged him was because the chances of the upset were too high.

Why do you overlook the Franklin win like that
Marqy and Okami (who lost to rich, right?) would still struggle with Ace today.
Rich had to leave 185 because he was in purgatory. He was the absoulte undisputed #2 but could not beat Andy. And Vitor handled him very easily.
Andersons ground game is weak link, but I dont’ know where your coming from saying that Marquardt or Okami would upset him.
I don’t give either a chance. I don’t think Nate is physically tough enough to endure Vitors shots. It would end just like the Silva fight… back up against the fence – straight right – and then pounce on him to the TKO.
Maybe we will be lucky enough in 2011 to see it happen for real
Vitor is In. Vitor will Win.
Now thats a fockin Poem.
That's the thing my friend......You don't need to be
physically tough to beat Vitor. Overeem use to have terrible cardio and a shaky chin or Every captain paycheck never had a granite chin. You just need to be able to make a fight ugly. If you slow him down and take away his dynamism then Vitor has quit every time out. He’s never in one fight that i can remember fought back adversity and returned for a win. That’s called front running. Vitor and Okami have proven time in an out that they can fight in a slow and methodical way. Though I probably am overlooking franklin, it probably is due to the fact that the fight ended on teh first strike thrown. Personally i am always torn on fights like that because you gotta reconcile where it lands between one mental slip vs one fighter being legitimately better all around skillwise than the other. I mean would you expect the same result the exact way in a rematch?
In the end however, we know nothing until the fight. I’ll be interesting to see if your prediction is close. I will say this one thing though if Vitor upsets Andy, i would sig anyone that he loses his next fight.

am the first one to admit
Vitor had his mental issues. I have to believe with Age/Maturity and 3 consecutive KO’s that he’s got confidence.
He sees the same fights we do. Its tough in every fight. Your going to have to do some digging to win in this era.
At least I hope he knows. Couture should be telling him that right now.

Dont get why you bring that up this is the UFC does not matter if you are #1 contender or not
Plenty of examples of that in the MW division alone.

by Khaos_Warrior on Sep 22, 2010 6:05 PM EDT up reply actions
you limit this statement to the UFC?
While I agree, SF is a much better example of this. Bellator’s tournaments are the only true legit fights from a pure sport standpoint, but event hey mess around with their non-tournament scraps. Dream, come on. Sengoku, I just don’t know enough about those dudes. WEC does a pretty good job.
We fight, get beat, rise and fight again.
I stooped bothering with whats fair and whats right
when Brock got his title shot, well it kind of started after Jardine got given Wandy after he got beat by Chuck, whos ass Jardine had just beat. I thought everybody accepted now that this all about the money, and who will bring the most of it in. The I do not even see why they bother with MMA rankings there is no set structure or process whatsoever, the fighters who will make the most money will get preferential treatment, and a lot of the fights are made with this in mind this is what makes the ranking sytem complete b/s to me, this and UFC fighers only fighting UFC fighers. I just sit back and enjoy the fights, and have stopped taking anything else too seriously now. Sports entertainment is exactly what it is, with more emphasis on the entertainment.
I can never get a handle on you berto
I would have thought you would be Pro Vitor vs Silva.
No wrestling.
Instead I see you have your panties in a bunch over the fact that Yushin isn’t going to get his KO cherry popped by the Phenom.
Consitstancy man. You jump from one side of an argument to another just to continue chasing your hatred for the UFC. It is entertainment… your just getting that now? Holy shoit.
Vitor is In. Vitor will Win.

fair competition and true sport is what it's about.
I don’t mind if wrestlers are involved in big fights. My issue is with the scoring for takedowns.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic !
Ya, roberto always rails against BS subjective “rankings” (I do as well) and talks about how there should be more objectivity. Indeed, ade speaks the truth this is how we must watch mma by not taking it as a pure competetive sport.

I am trying but i would find MMA better to follow if it became more of a sport as sport is obviously my passion in life. Its going in the complete opposite direction though its been massive since the whole thing with Rampage/Rashad and Kimbo on TUF, just a big chain reaction.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic !
That I agree with. Kimbo did nothing for us
or similar. We have to clean up the Junie Brownings and “War Machines” because it sets us back.

He already earned it
He just got injured and Chael was given it.
Jon Jones LHW Champion 2011
Gray and Pray LW Champion 2011
Oh really??
Belfort never has competed in the UFC middleweight division to earn this shot. So how did he earn this? It was given to him cause Silva already ran through the whole division.
Vitor is one of my fav fighters but he doesnt deserve this title shot..and chael should get cut

dana gave him this present before
but ended up taking it bck to the store. lets see if it happens again. wouldn’t be surprised if it doesn’t happen this time either
Vitor speed is so overrated.........
Of course he looked fast…..it was MATT LINDLAND FOR CHRIST SAKES!!! Lindland has zero speed and is old. Then there’s Terry martin……NUFF said……Rich Franklin…meh…probably Vitor’s best win in his past few fights.
blah blah blahbeddy blah
He wasnt supposed to completly anhilate who was put in front of him.
Fighters dont pick opponents. Managers and Match makers do. His job is to KO foolios.
The evidence is in the post fight medical records.

are just pist because they know belfort is gonna put up a good fight….they’re just like ed soares
Hmm...
Vitor Belfort: ‘Dana White just gave me the best present ever’
His virginity?
Is it just me.....
Or does it seem weird that the UFC would essentially cancel a fight with 2 healthy fighters and give one of them a title shot because $$$$ comes before anything else? I realize as owners of the company they can do whatever they want but to exercise that in this way……doesn’t seem cool to me.
bad luck okami
hopefully he mauls nate, then he can fight vitor after vitor kos silva but i doubt it
Truth
Vitor will waltz up one side of Silva and down the other. Belfort via 1st round crushing knockout. Silva won’t know what hit him. If Sonnen can drop him, you better believe Belfort will make him snoring.
