He's a great and genius fighter, but I think things have gotten to him; for a lack of better terms.

I'm buying it. I've never missed a Bones Jones fight.
Is the Kid Yamamoto fight even on Spike? I saw it's on FB...Originally posted by GrueliusComment

And to let you know what that was all about: In Brasil when you call someone "mascarado" = masquerade, means someone who is trying to be something they are not or hiding from whatev (as you can deduce) so Silva was attempting a mocking of what Belfort stated in a previous interview.Originally posted by Maluco View Postdamn! Did anyone watch the weigh-ins!!?? That was intense; This may very well be one of the best fights I've watched in terms of really looking forward to it and all the shit that comes with it. This is a huge fight for MMA fans, oldschool, newschool, and newbschool (maybe not so much them), MMA in Brasil, the UFC middleweight division, Silva and Belfort...
A couple of friends of mine (also Brasilians) are friends with Nogueira, hung around with him and showed him around town when he was in town helping to promote a training. Long story short, it was stated Belfort shared some insight he had with Couture prior to his fight with Rodrigo. This and the fact that Belfort used to train with Silva and now has accepted this fight etc has created much beef.
I didn't really know it was to this extent though. Silva has never acted like this in a weigh-in. He genuinely is taking this one very personal. I honestly believe he is a bit intimidated by Belfort. Silva has become somewhat of a dick so I'm a bit torn on how to feel about this fight. I guess I just want an awesome and true fight, and as they say, may the best man win.
I. Cannot. Fucking. Wait.
Spanish version but quality and can be fwd'd.. (don't let this make you think Brasilians speak Spanish)
English, but bruce bufferring like a mthafk....

as the hours pass, I want more and more for Vitor to, and I believe he will, put Silva on his ass...Last edited by Maluco; 02-04-2011, 10:49 PM.Comment

I want Belfort to win as well. I used to be a pretty big Silva fan, but he isn't the kind of fighter I like outside of the octagon, and in the past several fights hasn't been the same fighter inside the cage.
I am hoping the Jon Jones fight is awesome, Jon Jones is so exciting to watch.
Also can't wait for Torres to fight again and the Kid Yamamoto fight should be cool to see if a high profile Japanese fighter can actually make an impact in the UFC. Also I hope the Cowboy gets his ass beat.
Will definitely get this fight, probably the best main card we have seen in quite awhile."We're not here for a long time, we're here for a good time"-Colin McCrae

Yes, I'm 45 minutes from Lambeau Field :)Originally posted by Maluco View Post
I'm gonna buy the fight, almost no bars order fights around here :(
I hope Vitor wins, for some reason I just cannot stand Silva. I believe he's an exceptionally talented fighter, but he's cocky in a demeaning way (if that makes any sense). I don't believe he shows it in his words so much, but his attitude in and out of the octagon.
I was rooting for Sonnen to beat him, and I almost got my wish :(2007 Range Rover Sport S/CComment

You wanted Chael to win bc you thought Anderson was cocky? Were you under a rock for the two months before the fight? Lol
Have they announced which fights are on the Spike preliminary show? I have it DVRed.Originally posted by GrueliusComment

I haven't seen anything on it yet... And yeah, fk that guy, complete douchebag jackass.Originally posted by KenC View PostComment

haha no, I usually like to cheer for the underdog, and I found Chael to be pretty funny actually. He was cocky, but damn the man actually backed up his trash talk. If he'd had played it safe with the minute and half left, stood up and traded strikes (which he had gotten the better of the entire match), and just gone for a takedown we'd have a new champ possibly.Originally posted by KenC View Post
He is douchebag and I"ve lost a lotta respect for him for whats happened after the fight. If he gets another shot at Silva, I imagine it'll be one of the biggest drawing cards in recent history. I don't think there was a single person that truly thought the fight would go the way it did.Originally posted by Maluco View Post2007 Range Rover Sport S/CComment

I believe the spike fights are Cerrone v Kelly and Mendes v Omigawa

Have you noticed Silva gets all tame and mild mannered when the other fighter is all cocky and arrogant? Chael Sonnen, ect. I honestly think half of the fighters talk massive smack at the urging of the UFC (shocker, I know). I'd hazard that Silva really isn't that big of a douche as several other interveiws with trainers, friends, ect, say he's really quite a nice dude.
On a less faggy note: Still think Silva will win. I'm not a huge fan of Vitor. Don't know why.Need a part? PM me.

I had blue balls after that, i got like a semi as Belfort was pushing the action and threw Silva on the ground, then 10 seconds later crazy bullshit knockout. Hopefully Silva will actually fight in his next few matches and I can start liking him again.
Belfort will be back though, hopefully he will get another crack at Silva soon."We're not here for a long time, we're here for a good time"-Colin McCrae
