UFC 126: Anderson Silva vs. Vitor Belfort

**Slome** · 21-12-2010, 02:48

Speaking at the press conference last week in Rio, Silva said:

“First of all, I’m really glad I’m fighting a guy like Vitor, even because before I started fighting he already was a champion. He became a champion really young, so it’s cool that we can make these dreams come true, we can do our job and do what we do best: fight and change many things.”
“I think my mind is much focused on this, of using the power God gave me, using my technique, my skills, to change many things – not inside the ring, but off it. Setting an example to children, changing a little bit the image of our sport… I’ve been growing a lot during these last years with this image issue, with the kids coming to talk to me. This fight will make me keep my focus.”

Belfort was next to go, keeping it just as respectful as “The Spider” had.

“What I can assure is that a Brazilian will come off there as the champion (laughs). I’m training, doing my best. I’m sure that this event in February will bring a very intense bout, because it’s hard to study Anderson, he’s an excellent fighter, the best pound for pound in the world. I’ve been sacrificing my days so that, on February 5th, I can do a good show for you.”

ha, ik kijk het meest uit naar jones.

Alleen jammer dat jones niet een nog "grotere" naam als tegenstander krijgt.

hoop echt dat Belfort, Griffin en Bader winnen

denk alleen wel dat Griffin verliest

als ik eerlijk ben, van die andere twee durf ik het niet te voorspellen

**T15Boxing** · 26-12-2010, 19:23

Dit is win-win voor mij. Ik ben een fan van Vitor en Anderson dus het enige wat mij uitmaakt is dat het een mooie gevecht zal worden.

Jones vs Bader is ook erg spannend. Dit wordt een geweldige UFC card maar ik heb toch het gevoel dat er een paar mensen niet kunnen vechten door een blessure of iets anders.

**lopez86** · 26-12-2010, 19:31

Bader - Jones is ook een top matchup, maar toch eentje waarin Jones het voordeel heeft.

Jon Jones is onverslaanbaar heren!

Hij gaat de champ worden!

**Splinta** · 03-01-2011, 22:58

Kan niet wachten om Silva weer 100% te zien vechten. Als hij van Vitor wint dan mag ie van mij naar Light Heavyweight.

van mij mogen ze allebei naar LHW eigenlijk

Vitor Belfort altijd een van mijn favo's geweest. Hij moet dit winnen van die dansende aap anders zie ik geen tegenstanders voor Anderson overblijven.

Jon Jones tegen een fitte Shogun Rua... alleen als ik er aan denk word ik al gek, dat zou echt een wereldpartij worden

"My plan is to go in there to fight, I'm not gonna be dancing around. Anderson (Silva) is an expert [standing up] with kicks and knees and elbows and I respect that -- but I'm not afraid of it. I think every day that I'm gonna win the fight, that I'm gonna push the pace. I have to look for the opening, look for the gap and if it goes to the ground I have to look for the submission.

If we're [on the feet] I have to look in his eyes and know I'm gonna beat him. He's the champion and I'm the challenger, it's gonna be a lion facing a lion. It's gonna be a great, great fight. I'm about to accomplish my journey. In the name of Jesus I'm gonna leave with a victory."
