UFC 142 results: Vitor Belfort chokes out Anthony Johnson

Vitor Belfort submitted Anthony Johnson at UFC 142 on Sat., Jan. 14, 2012, in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. AP Photo by Felipe Dana.

The only real hoopla created by the UFC 142: "Aldo vs. Mendes" event surrounded the co-main event of the evening a contest that was supposed to be contested at middleweight but was really a light heavyweight fight, as both Anthony Johnson and Vitor Belfort came in at or around 205-pounds.

"Rumble," of course, caused quite a fuss when he missed weight by 11-pounds and created enough controversy to sell the card on his own. Fans quickly got behind "The Phenom" hoping he would make Johnson pay for his transgressions.

Did he ever.

Despite a massive size advantage, Belfort was far more physical and eventually locked in a rear-naked choke that forced Johnson to tap inside the first round.

Star-divide

Johnson looked considerably larger inside the cage, especially noticeable when the two got together for the staredown. "Rumble" opened with a front kick that missed and after an awkward exchange, he put Belfort on his back.

"The Phenom" missed on a few punches after they reset thanks to a referee restart and Johnson used that to clinch against the cage, presumably to lean on Vitor and make him feel his weight.

Another break from the referee led to Belfort coming out strong with punches that looked to find their mark and sent the crowd into a frenzy. Johnson managed to get back on top and tried to stay busy but he just couldn't do enough to avoid another referee restart.

By the end of the first round, it looked an awful lot like Johnson was gassed. Vitor took his back and started landing blows while looking for a rear-naked choke. Despite his size advantage, "Rumble" was losing the battle physically.

Eventually, Belfort got the choke locked in and squeezed until Johnson went limp.

Revenge is sweet. Getting it at home is even sweeter.

worst standups maybe ever. everyone knew rumble had to wear him down on the ground. just wonder if it was cuz he missed weight and they were like Fuck no you ain’t laying there u do that enough lol. honestly rumble is gonna b in the hot seat, wouldn’t b surprised to see him let go for the weight and that performance. he looked good 4 about 45 seconds

Are upset about the quick stand ups when before they were sayin Rumble would beat Vitor standing up. The problem was lazy fat Rumble got tired from having to stand up a couple of times

I'm not a fan of either and I think they were quick stand ups.

Kind of like BC vs AA I guess it happens but if I happen to be a aj fan I would call BS too.

I agree they were very fast, but Rumble was literally not throwing a single punch or anything. Vitor was tying up both of his arms and he was doing zippo.

I would have waited a bit longer but I think Rumble would have been submitted sooner or later. You could tell Vitor had a HUGE BJJ advantage.

This fight was a joke..3 restarts? Seriously?

And when Vitor got on top of Rumble, Danny boy jumped down looking for ANY moment to stop the fight, already on a mission not to let the fight go to the 2nd round….

The fix was in for Vitor to win this fight the moment the door shut…“dont let Rumble wrestle fuck a decision, if Vitor gets him down and lands a good exchange stop it as soon as possible”

I’m glad Vitor won it, cause it was obvious Rumble was getting gassed and wouldn’t have survived the 2nd round, but to see the obvious biased on Danny’s side was absolutely ridiculous

He never would have did 3 restarts if that fight had been in America

This will happen in every Rumble fight . If you can survive the early storm, you can tap Rumble quite easily. He’s Melvin Guillard esque in his quit ability . He’s really that bad.

And the thing is, even a 200 or 205 lb Rumble, who works on cardio, will never have cardio. He’s just as explosive, and as muscular as they come. He will always fight to the finish, just like Guillard, and will always have problems in the later rounds.

Belfort vs. Belcher

That would be a great fight. Or stick Belfort in there with a solid wrestler.

I like that fight as well. Pretty much the only somewhat comparable striking match up I’d like to see at MW. Belfort really has an edge on everyone at MW with that lightning quick striking ability, Belcher is definitely solid, and has a good MT style as long as he doesn’t get sucked into brawls. I’ve been expecting more out of Belcher, but I guess with his injury and being out for so long, just haven’t been on the mind lately. Belcher looks like he has some real promise.

Belfort is a monster, and is no push over or gatekeeper. Belfort and Wand have to do their thing for a while, and hopefully Wand pulls out, if he doesn’t, I don’t watch Wand get his once again. It’s messed up, but what goes around comes around.

Yep, Wandy doesn't have good odds

Belcher is young, he is developing into a great fighter, 2 years and he’ll challenge for a title I think, by that time the whole new crop will be up and guys like Anderson and Vitor are retiring soon or already have….

I agree with that. Personally right now, I’d like to see Belcher vs Stann, I think Stann gives a lot of guys big problems at MW, but obviously Stann has some grappling issues. His TDD isn’t very good, and his sub defense even worse. But standing up, that boy got a huge head, big power, and is a tough SOB. Stann / Belcher wouldn’t get enough hype due to them not being popular enough, so throw them in with the popular guys and get them some fame, but eventually I look forward to that fight.

Oh I like that idea

I did four years in the Marines, so I always root for Stann, but that’s a good fight for both of them….

I was in the Army, so always keep a note of any military members. Don’t really care for Kennedy, but Stann seems like a beast. Fuck civilians.

but it won’t happen, guess they agreed not to

Belcher is really tough...

That will help him against Belfort. Belcher doesn’t mind a good scrap.

by jfreezy on Jan 15, 2012 1:01 AM EST reply actions  

Oh yeah it would be a very good fight

but another fight I see Vitors speed being his best weapon even if Belcher has good Muay Thai….

I am super hype to see Vitor get a Wooo with a submission come on man you all should be hootin and a hollerin lol

Shows you that Vitor is using all his skills, fuck the swinging for the fences he is getting the W regardless. I love it go ahead Belfort, it’s so awesome to see Vitor submit someone in the octagon.

Long live the dragon!!!

You know i have always been a real big fan of Rumble , But after the way he has acted with this whole process of missing weight , saying he don't give a fuck .

All i can say is this with out the fans you would have never gotten where you are, And with your i don’t give a fuck attitude I hope you get booted form the ufc this way you might stop feeling so privileged.
