Rockhold had his hands to his side, had to stop it.
Dude called Bisping stupid for standing and striking with Vitor, lol.....way to take the fight to the ground.
To be fair, he did try to take it down. It was just an awful attempt.
It seems like people think it's going to be a spinning back kick; they block their torsos and eat a heel.Wheel kicks are the new overhead rights. Dudes just freeze up and dont even know how to block them
Renan Barão out of UFC 161
Told you guys Vitor was gonna win
Let's have Vitor/Overeem 3 in Brazil.
He would destroy Okami
Then again there may be too much TRT baggage on Vitor (both from fans/media/other fighters and from athletic commissions) to possibly risk him being a champion.
Where did all this heat on Vitor come from? TRT didn't stop them from giving a shot to Mir or Hendo or two in a row to Sonnen, and Overeem was in line for one before Bigfoot beat the T out of him. Must be the obvious levels of jackedness plus having his last two fights in Brazil. Where did he fight Jones though? He didn't get popped there, so the tests shouldn't be a concern. It wouldn't surprise me if in the future he just told the AC he went off it and they licensed him. They've swallowed that before.
Vitor has done more in 6 months than Weidman had done his entire career to warrant him a title shot. He broke Jones arm, KOd Bisping and Rockhold brutally. No wonder Chris ducked him.
Honestly, the Silva win over Belfort keeps getting better and better with time because of that.
Silva vs Belfort took place in Las Vegas. TRT'sBack never shows up in Vegas.Usually it's the other way around, how are we supposed to discredit Silva if Belfort keeps winning?

I don't think Vitor should get a middle weight title shot. He lost to Anderson and Jones the last two years.
He should fight Okami, Sonnen then the discussion can be entertained. 2-win fight streaks don't make a #1 contender. UFC needs to chill with this fly by night booking.
Also, I feel sorry for the Canadians who paid for 161. That country keeps getting terrible cards outside of the GSP ones.

playboy Samurai dropping truth bombs all over this thread. Belfort with his last 2 wins has done more to earn a title shot than Chris Whiteman.
Well, considering that he dismantled the perennial No. 1 Contender Bisping and has now just crushed a Strikeforce champion, I figure that there's both nothing left for him to prove nor is there anyone else in his position.
Regarding the other potential challenger - Yushin Okami - I doubt he'd be any challenge to Vitor whatsoever. But considering that they're both Anderson's sloppy seconds, I figure that it'd be a decent enough No. 1 Contender fight.
Victor Gracie did more in pushing over Hamburger Johnston than what Wideman had ever done.
Dudes acting like there's logic to how people get title shots in ultimate.
This. Just because people may not have seen his fight with Munoz doesn't mean it didn't happen.Weidman earned his shot with two top 10 wins in a row. We wouldn't be having this discussion if Canderson defended the belt with any kind of regularity.
Who gets a shot at the GOAT then? Does he just sit on the shelf waiting until then? Take pointless light heavyweight fights? Continue to duck Bones while Georgie ducks him?Bisping didn't deserve a title shot either. It's my point. Title shots the last few years have been fly by night booking or boxing "pay day" like.
People go on and on about how crooked boxing is or how legitimate a sport MMA is but with all this TRT nonsense, hypocritical attitude toward marijuana (more so the fact UFC took that guys money instead of fining him say $40,000-$50,000) and shady booking (read Shael, Edgar/Aldo, etc). But I'm just venting.
Personally, I think a fighter should be on a 4-5 win streak and beat a few legit guys on the way to challenging the champion like a Mark Hunt (who still needs another fight against some one like Dos Santos, a Nelson or a Nog). Belfort has done great at middle weight, I just think they should pit him against one or two more guys like Shael, Okami, Weidman (who shouldn't be getting a title shot just because the division is that weak).

He should relinquish the title or they can create an interim middle weight title if he beats Weidman. He takes the GSP and Jones super fights then retires.Who gets a shot at the GOAT then? Does he just sit on the shelf waiting until then? Take pointless light heavyweight fights? Continue to duck Bones while Georgie ducks him?

There's nothing else for him to do except collect checks and look bored/unmotivated in the ring.
Even Jones knows, after awhile it'll be pointless for him to stay in light heavy weight. He needs to move up.
Light heavyweight, welter weight, light weight (slightly) and women's (slightly) are the most interesting divisions right now. Middle weight, feather weight, fly weight and heavy weight seem to be fishing for contenders (Big Foot!!!, Zingano, Weidman, etc).
They do need something to mix it up like a Grand Prix or tournament.
I feel like that Anderson front kick just turned Belfort into a monster. He must have been humiliated by that
So he should relinquish the title because...he's too good for the rest of the division?He should relinquish the title or they can create an interim middle weight title if he beats Weidman. He takes the GSP and Jones super fights then retires.

lol, how was this not an automatic point deduction. so careless.
