Anderson Silva---Vitor Belfort?

According to a new report, the UFC is putting together a middleweight championship bout between current le holder Anderson Silva and Vitor Belfort for UFC 108. The event is expected to be held on January 2nd in Las Vegas. Verbal agreements are in place, however the fight has yet to be made official.

Silva has been UFC Middleweight Champion for three years, and is coming off his non- le victory over Forrest Griffin at UFC 101. Belfort made his return to the company with a first-round KO of former middleweight champ Rich Franklin last weekend at UFC 103.

I think I'm going to pay to see that one.

There's no way in I'm picking against Silva, but at least Vitor has the tools and talent to give you pause when he's on his game.

Has anyone ever heard from Forrest since his meltdown?

I think I saw him in my town but I'm not sure. The guy was jogging, but was doing it so fast I can't tell it was him for sure.

[desflood]

Forrest went back to training the week after the fight and I believe he actually got married this past Saturday.

I'm worried about him. Getting back on track after that loss, won't be easy..

[desflood]

I'd worry about anybody else, but... if anyone was ever born a fighter, it's that guy. He'll come back strong, but as long as Machida's around he'll never be champ.

What the . As long as Machida's around, nobody else will be champ.

As GREAT AS Machida is, i think we need to wait a few fights before we announce him as unbeatable He's great but we'll see, what happens when he faces some adversity, which is inevitable, i don't care how good you are, you'll get put in a bad spot. Right now he has people still confused as all with his style. But eventually, with enough tape to watch they'll make good adjustments and he'll have to re-adjust what he does..

[dbreiden83080]

^Yup. Much like Nomo, eventually they will get use to his style. Great? Not yet; lets see what he's like when he loses, or gets rocked, dazed and bloodied.

I'm sold on Machida being a great fighter, but nobody is unbeatable..

Was he jogging or run-ning?

Did it look like he was still in his same ring attire from the Silva Fight?

Forrest went back to training the week after the fight and I believe he actually got married this past Saturday.

That's good to hear.

All joking aside, the UFC needs guys like Forrest, and even if he's nothing more than a gatekeeper-type for the rest of his career, he's usually worth the price of admission and an easy guy to root for.

^^ that card is free on e isn't it

[oligarchy]

it better be.. it's trash.

[desflood]

It's coming out of the UK, so I guess it'll be free. If I were a British fan, I'd be getting pretty ticked off at the low quality of fights they get over there.

Of course, for all my b*tching I'll watch it anyway, just to see Randy Couture and Matt Brown.

[polandprzem]

I'm sorry I had to put it somewhere

[Evan]

great card this Friday on HDnet
