Vitor Belfort: Wanderlei Silva is one of the greatest of all time, feels he deserved UFC 142 'Fight of the Night' bonus

After defeating a much bigger foe in Anthony Johnson last weekend (Jan. 14, 2012) at UFC 142 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Vitor Belfort will now focus his attention on coaching the next wave of aspiring mixed martial arts (MMA) fighters when serves as a coach in the Ultimate Fighting Championship's (UFC) first-ever international season of The Ultimate Fighter (TUF): "Brazil" opposite his next opponent, Wanderlei Silva.
The two coaches will collide in what will be a rematch 14 years in the making, which is tentatively scheduled to take place in their home country of Brazil in the middle of this year.
In their first encounter, which also took place in Brazil, way back in 1998 at UFC 17.5, "The Phenom" blitzed through "The Axe Murderer" in only 44 seconds with a barrage of punches for which Silva had no answer.
However, Belfort feels this next time around, the fight will be much tougher as he sent out this tweet via his official Twitter account (interpreted via Bloody Elbow) to praise his upcoming opponent, as well as clear up any misinterpretations.
Check it out:
"I would like to make it clear that I didn't say anything about @wandfc not having a chin, I said it was going to be a very tough fight. For me @wandfc is one of the best fighters of all time and is an example of maturity and I will never disrespect my opponent."
Much has changed since their initial encounter.
Silva enjoyed a long, prosperous an successful run in Pride FC as its middleweight champion, but has had mixed results after re-joining the UFC in 2007. Belfort, on the other hand, has since competed in various organizations from Pride FC, Affliction MMA and Cage Rage before re-signing with the UFC in 2009.
"The Phenom" also spoke to "MMA: Inside The Arena" (via Sherdog.com), that his UFC 142 performance against "Rumble" deserved "Fight of the Night" honors, as well as the hefty check that accompanies it, but didn't get the bonus as a result of the promotion being unhappy with Johnson.
That extra $65,000 in bonus money would have gone a long way in taking care of a very large training partner bill:
"A wrestler won't be able to take me down and give me a hard time. I came from jiu-jitsu. I had seven trainers working with me during the last three months. I spent around $100,000 with them. They decided to award Barboza with the best knockout and best fight of the night. I think I deserved at least the best fight, but the problem is that they would have to reward Johnson, too, and Dana is really mad at him."
Indeed, UFC head honcho Dana White was not happy with Johnson because the fact that he came in overweight for a third time and did not meet the required 185-pound limit.
What do you say Manaics, was Belfort's and Johnson's one round of action enough to best Edson's Barboza's and Terry Etim's back-and forth affair? And will his rematch between Wanderlei Silva have similar results to their first encounter?

Alcantara/Omi should have gotten that
Double KO bonuses for Aldo and Barboza
Double sub Bouses for Palhares and Vitor (to shit on AJ and award Vitor for finally getting a sub)

Yeah I don't know what he was thinking
I don’t think he saw the Barboza/Etim fight lol.
Probably deserved submission of the night
for it’s context and the fact Vitor hasn’t subbed anybody since 97.
I don’t think it’s really fair Paul Harris gets 75k everytime he destroys someone’s knee
There is no award Vitor could have gotten
He beat Anthony Johnson…
As much talent as AJ has, he is nothing compared to Vitor in terms of accomplishments and skill
This was pretty much a gimme fight for Vitor in Brazil…no way they would have given him a tougher matchup…he got AJ making his debut at MW
I hereby declare that Edson Barboza is the true owner of the Showtime Kick
let's not forget johnson was a big fat dehydrated sack of shit with no energy or endurance
you don’t get fight of the night or sub of the night for beating a guy who couldn’t fight. he should be ashamed it took him as long as it did

Lol...the sad part is...Vitor didn't beat him convincingly...
It was a W for him but not necessarily a good showing
AJ was the aggressor, but he fought like a goof…
We could have been treated to an amazing fight if the circumstances that surrounded it weren’t so lame…super unfortunate
I hereby declare that Edson Barboza is the true owner of the Showtime Kick
Vitor has Dan to thank more than his trainers
Soon as my flow starts, I compose art like the ghost of Mozart
Even though they all say that they're real, I know that most aren't
Boy you think you're clever don't you, girl you think you're so smart
Come with me to another side of the world... so cold and so dark
They would have both been a tired mess if that fight went to the 3rd lol

Vitor’s body looks exactly like how a former steroids user’s body would look like IMO. I think he definitely juiced a shit ton earlier in his career. But that’s just me.

Just take a look at Vitor when he made his UFC debut and was 19 years old.
There is absolutely no fucking way anyone looks like that at age 19 without some type of steroid.
A pinner ain't never hurt nobody!
why, vitor folds every time he's in a big fight. if he doesn't get a quick ko, he quits. as far as wrestlers go. hendo beat the dog shit out of vitor when they fought in pride.
It was a decision, but one of the rounds was 10-8. Unanimous for hendo, he won every round. Vitor has never " been back" because he was never really here. He is a puncher who just scratches the surface of elite level fighters, but he doesn’t belong there.

Hey does anyone know what Anderson Silva said after he beat Okami?
I just watched that fight on fuel.. Right after Kenflo was done interviewing him he took the mic and said something and said something in Brazilian which caused everybody to Cheer.

if i recall correctly, he said something about keeping the title in Brazil

I heard that Portugese and Brazilian Portagese was different so thats why..
I said Brazilian.
I devise a plan,

Title is a bit confusing.......reads as though Vitor thought Silva deserved f.o.t.n.
Aside from that, these two have a great personality, and I may actually watch more than one episode of TUF with these two as coaches.

I was confused as well.
I was like, “who the hell did Wanderlei fight at UFC 142, I must have totally missed that shit”
A pinner ain't never hurt nobody!
Could have been FON...
But it wasn’t…
I like you Vitor…but sometimes you come off as delusional…
I wonder who will get cheered more in Brazil, Vitor or Wandy
I hereby declare that Edson Barboza is the true owner of the Showtime Kick
Probably...
Although Wanderlei gets cheered everywhere
Maybe they won’t recognize the Wanderlei of earlier times hidden behind that reconstructed face
I hereby declare that Edson Barboza is the true owner of the Showtime Kick
Vitor is more famous than Anderson and Nog over there.

I'm talking about in BRAZIL
He was a huge star. He had knocked Wand out in 98, just picture that.
Hell when his sister was kidnapped he got air time on national television pleading for help. Who the hell else gets live air time in Brazil when a relative gets murdered or kidnapped? Nobody.
And this is Brazil. Where stuff like this isn’t uncommon.

Wand was not a nobody. What the hell are you talking about?
Vitor had such a huge rivalry with Chute Box. Dude was champ at 19 years old, he was the biggest fighter in the whole country. He was on TV all the time. Obviously you know nothing of how big BJJ and fighting in general is to Brazilians.
When his sister got kidnapped, it was a national drama, everyone knew who Vitor was. People were following this occurrence live on TV.
He was a huge star. Nobody else appeared on anything but magazines and whatever but Vitor got TV attention. Hell even random people knew who he was and knew what Vale Tudo was.
It wasn’t until Vitor was on Casa dos Artistas 2 that he even met his wife Joana. Casa dos Aristas was like Big Brother for celebs in Brazil and that should show you how big Vitor was.
So please cut the shit and stop talking out of your ass.
You’re trying to start an argument and debate something which frankly you have a half assed idea on.

What happened to the discretionary bonus?
I would think Vitor would have qualified as a candidate for such a bonuses by being a professional and making weight and fighting a much heavier opponent.

they need to cough up a handsome discretionary bonus to vitor at the very least, I figured they would have but based on his statement they dropped the ball
the fact he accepted the fight after his opponent came in way overweights and went out there and put on a show and finished the fight as well as carrying the entire card on his back. 90% of those in attendance were there to see Vitor based on the thundering support that nerly brought down the arena.
he should be compensated well beyond his purse for stepping up and saving the card
Vitor...your fight lasted 4 minutes and 49 secs
It wasn’t exactly Barry vs Kongo or Brandao vs Bermudez.
Vitor wanting FOTN reminds me of Tito thinking he should have gotten it in his last fight with Forrest in which he didn’t even show up in the 3rd round. Some of these guys egos are so big, they haven’t a focking clue…..
Vitor Belfort: Wanderlei Silva is one of the greatest of all time, feels he deserved UFC 142 'Fight of the Night' bonus
I do not why but some Brazilain fighters are getting on my nerve. the flamboyant display of Latino emotion, like Aldo last fight and Vitor Belfor comments are extremely irritating. Some Brazilain fighters are awsome likw Vanderlei Silva and recently the return of Gonzaga,. As per Anderson Silva….what can i say. Simply not my style if fighter, too much a show off. He his talented but he need someone to show how to behave and stop to do monkey move in the Octagone. I understand that they are in a cage but it is not an excuse to act like a monkey. UFC is a show. Not a circus….
You need to see a doctor who can remove that stick that's stuck in your butt
"It's just an abounded mineshaft! You just go climb aound in it!
So Aldo isn't allowed to celebrate?
Maybe he should have cracked Mendes a few extra times after he was out just like Rampage did against Wand. Maybe that will make him more likable in your eyes.
Some people will complain about anything. Grow up.

There should be a performance of the night bonus where it would reward one fighter that put on an impressive performance without rewarding the other guy. Belfort would’ve deserved this award at this event, no questions about it.
No, Aldo or Silva would have. Belfort destroyed a completely gassed mess.

there were definitely those who said from the start that Vitor was too much for AJ at that point (not that I remember who)
Regardless, it’s hard to predict Johnson fucking up his weight at MW and hard to believe it didn’t have an effect on the outcome. Who can predict the early standups either? Definitely not a clear cut fight for any predictors or just in general.
I changed my pick from Johnson to Vitor after the weight fiasco but was still unsure and wouldn’t have changed it if he weighed in and looked fine. I liked Johnson against Vitor from early on when it was announced and would likely pick him in a rematch at least until the weigh in. I still like his chances in the UFC MW division for the most part. But hey, we’re all stupid sometimes.
I hear ya
I personally picked Vitor from the moment the fight was announced, although I will admit I was a bit nervous hearing everybody talk about how he was going to “wrestlefuck” him and win the decision, but i stuck with Vitor knowing how much TDD he has been working on with Couture and his many other coaches (he says he spent 100k on 7 trainers). To me the fact that Rumble was way over weight only confirmed my pick, and i somehow knew that he would gas early and would get finished. That’s too much recovering to do in such a short period of time from a poor weight cut fiasco. Let this be a lesson to him and all other fighters who don’t respect their opponent, the sport, and the fans. He got what he deserves and I could care less if we ever see him back in the UFC, 3 strikes and you’re out IMO
Once AJ epicly failed to make weight...
He was a writeoff in most peoples eyes, Understandably.
I think most people were just skeptical of Vitor being able to stuff AJ’s takedowns because every man and his dog knew that if AJ was too scared to go toe to toe with Hardy he damn sure wasnt going to trade with Vitor and before AJ gassed those fears were looking like a reality!
BJ Penn and Shogun Rua fan for life.
And this is why i don’t like this guy. Before this fight I said he and several other Brazilian fighters can never take a victory and be satisfied with it, no, he has to have some complaint. These guys always have a complaint win or especially when they lose. He should be happy he got rid of AJ and that crowd cheered for him the entire fight nonstop. I’ve never heard a crowd cheer for someone like that. Victory in your home country is enough of a reward

Im sure he was asked a specific question in relation to this
I really doubt he just decided to start saying anything about that without anyone asking him something

Whatever the case he has to always complain. If someone asked, say Cain something similar he would say that he fought to his best and still needs to work on a few things and happy he got the victory. See that’s all he has to say hut that’s what he never says. He is a shit sportsman. Anderson knocked him out and vitor said it was luck.

Well he is partly correct tho
I really doubt Anderson could ever do that to him again.. or anyone doing that to him in the future

agreed
That was something that would happen 1 out of 1000 times. Vitor gave Silva space to get his timing and distance down. If Vitor went in with his killer come forward attitude I think we would have a new middleweight champ

and Johnson screwed Vitor over
The fight was hyped up to be amazing. N then when Johnson didn’t make weight it was written off like Vitor was fighting a can

Yeah Anderson doing that kick probably wouldn’t happen again against vitor but Anderson knocking him out was no luck that would happen again. I agree what you said about the Johnson fight though
by zesotheclown on Jan 19, 2012 11:00 AM EST via mobile up reply actions
I just watched UFC 142 for the first time...
to think he deserved fight of the night is a joke! without those early standups he may have LOST! I have never seen a ref standup two fighters so early… what the hell was up with that?
