Behind the Scenes of Vitor Belfort's preparations for UFC 133
Posted on July 6, 2011, 03:59 AM by Anton GurevichMMA legend Vitor Belfort will look to bounce back from defeat against Anderson Silva at UFC 126, in a fight against Yoshihiro Akiyama on the main card of UFC 133, which will take place at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It will be Vitor Belfort's second fight as 185'er in the UFC, as the encounter against "The Spider" Silva marked his debut in that weight class.
Belfort is currently 19-9 in his MMA career, with notable victories over Matt Lindland, Rich Franklin, Randy Couture, Heath Herring, Wanderlei Silva and Gilbert Yvel. As for Akiyama, despite being on a two-fight losing streak (Bisping and Leben), the Japanese superstar earned Fight of the Night Bonus in each and every one of his fights inside the Octagon (3).

I can't wait to see Belfort back in the ring. The A Silva KO was a hard pill to swallow for a big fan. He still has so much to offer. I'll always believe Belfort never reached his full potential due to personal issues (Sister being kidnapped & killed)
May be he'll get a shot at that title again soon!
Hopefully Belfort gets a rematch with Silva soon....kinda felt cheated after how the first one ended, even tho it was prolly the KO of the yr so far I expected a war a much more from Belfort so hopefully he can get 3 wins or so n fight for the title again
poor akiyama:(
Belfort is Knocking the F out of Akiyama. :D
If only Akiyama would use his judo, it may be a competitive bout...
but Akiyama has been content to just stand and trade in his last 2 outings.
*Last 3 UFC outings.
Belfort by 1st round KO

He can show Belfort his feet..............
