This move was straight out of a Van Damme movie. Made me jump off my couch when it happened.:ohlawd:

For all that shyt Rockhold was talking I'm glad he got shut the fukk up. Vitor is a dangerous man now that he's using those kicks Jacare vs Belfort should be next, or fukk it Belfort vs Silva 2.

I think a Jacare/Belfort bout needs to happen first before belfort vs silva 2. That front kick is still fresh.

obviously, the thing that makes belfort so dangerous is that he's using kicks now...and not some pedestrian ass kicks that you can easily avoid or eat...we're talking big time kicks, to the dome.

for most of his career, everyone knew he was gonna blitz their ass by using his hand speed and power on some e honda shyt. and he has that capability, guys prepare for that...and he was still beating guys that fully knew his "punches in bunches" game plan. but now that he's incorporating his legs into the mix...it poses a new set of problems for his opponents. that added wrinkle really does make him a lot more dangerous.

that said, he's in a shytty spot cuz even though he's developed his arsenal and may even be the best he's ever been skill-wise, he's not gonna be champ. he's still not gonna beat anderson silva or jon jones. i think the ufc knows that too. so it'll be interesting to see what they do with him.

Vitor is next in line, IMO.

That's two stoppages of two top 10 MWs.
yeah its just that anderson wont grant him it because he feels he doesnt need to take the rematch.



ps Speaking of which has anderson even got that new deal signed yet :mjpls:

the only ko to top the


UFC-142-Barboza-KO-Etim-b.gif

how are so many people getting caught with this lol. Didnt Uriah Hall blam the hell out of somebody just last month too?

It takes more motions and milliseconds before impact, you'd think they'd be able to get out of the way, I could see if it were punctuation to a combo, that way someone is flinching at other motions, but a straight spin kick and they lookin at the kick like :damnlol::blessed::deadmanny:

If Vitor is gonna fight anybody before a title shot it needs to be Okami. Limit the rematches for Anderson, if possible.

:katt: why would you want that boring gatekeeper killing someone else's momentum? This isnt a snoozefest frankie edgar rematch. I think belfort/silva 2 would be very interesting to fans, especially if vitor continues to look impressive. If they can book silva/cain 2, why the fukk not? Especially since the MW division is easily the worst in the company.
