UFC 126 Weigh-In Results: Fighters hit the scales in Las Vegas, Nevada

hopefully Silva doesn't let his emotion get the best of him but after that weigh in I know this is going to a fight we will be talking about for a long time ! Silva is Ready!

SILVA 3 ROUND TKO

That stare down was amazing...one of the best in MMA history....have to go with Silva on this one never seen him this intense

We need a Brazilian lip reader... I wanna know what Silva was saying.

he said you wont get the belt. It is my belt and i keep it. And vitor said lets see i'm ready to **** you up C.U..N.T...WELL I GESS

LOL thank dude !

lol . silva is a piece of work! disrespecting vitor with that gay looking mask! in his face! i hope your ready silva! unlike sonnen putting you on ur back for 5 roundsbeating you up! ! vitor will finish you off!

Dana white looked scared breaking them up. LOL!

So did Viter, he looked shooked

i was watching the weighs ins live on espn last night and the commentary team(bonnar, florian, gareth davies, and the 2 presenters) said the mask related to silva calling belfort 2 faced. That was because they trained together then belfort left their camp and ended up calling him out. He felt dis-respected. And one of the things he said in brazilian was 'tomorrow you will see a beating'. The commentary team said that not me.

Vitor was the one that said Silva wears a mask at the press conference, he even comments about it if you watch his comments after the stare down.



With that said, that's the type of thing you have to do if your a fighter. Silva said he considered Vitor a friend and wouldnt have accepted a fight against him, and then Vitor accepted one against Silva.



If you have to put on a championship fight against someone you consider a friend, a fighter needs to take offense to that. There is no other way you can go all out against a friend without holding back.

also"! belfort left thompkins to go with couture ! thompkins was pissed and told black house belforts so called weakness"s . for this fight!

a friend yes but if its for a title in your sport i dont see why not.

yes corrcet! silva always knew vitor was a better boxer , more power and speed than silva. why dont you know think silva didnt want too fight vitor in the first place !

Vitor is taking this one!

KO round 2!

I don't know man. When Anderson fought Franklin, the man looked like he had no idea what to do. When Vitor fought him, Franklin looked competitive until he got KOd.

Did anyone else hear that Franklin and Griffon made a deal that the loser of the fight has to get a tattoo ?!?

Yup..in an interview Rich said Forrest would get an ACE of spades tattoo if he lost...but im not sure what rich would get ...

i think that was more of a joke than anything else. Forrest was talking of getting a horrible looking dragon and said that franklin would get a butterfly on his back.

a Griffin tatoo like the animal from Harry Potter lol

A griffin is actually a mythological creature, it's not just "from harry Potter".



But yeah, a Griffin would be good.

Is it?? did not no that....I'm a bit behind on my mythological creatures

haha Franklin should have to get a tattoo of a monkey, or a caveman

I honestly cannot wait for this card. Seriously.



MORE CARDS LIKE THIS PLEASE.

I would bet that you can wait.

Anyone that thinks that A. Silva has any class is a fool. That whole mask thing..wtf? Please KO him Vitor! Straight left.. Anderson looking like Nate Quarry... that's what I want to see.

Pretty disrespectful of AS. Just trying to get in Vitor's head, which is funny, considering he "likes to do his talking inside the octagon". Why the antics? Unless he's scared, and feels the need to try to throw Belfort off. Can't wait to see what happens!

As I mentioned in earlier comments, how else do you think you would be able to fight someone you considered a friend in a championship fight? It's very hard to go full force without holding back anything. Imagine trying to enter a match against someone you consider a close friend...

ASilva and Belfort were never really friends. Just because they're both from Brazil people think they are friends? That's like saying Couture and Coleman are friends or something.. uhhh no

...from Brazil AND trained together at Chute Box Academy.

Dude, look it up. Silva stayed with Belfort after Belforts sister was kidnapped and murdered and helped him thru the situation. They became close during that and even trained with eachother. He has been seen in the past mentioning he would never fight Belfort.

Watch the whole weigh-in and you will understand it.

Dana White: "Vitor said in an interview in brazil that anderson is a phony and wears a mask in public and that's why he wore it & went crazy"

It's not just Vitor...Demian Maia said much the same thing earlier--but only after his fight with Anderson.

If Anderson wins, the UFC needs to clone him and set up a fight with him and his clone.



I pick the clone to win by TKO in the 2nd.

Give him GSP or move up to 205 if anderson wins

Anderson wasn't even looking into Vitors eyes! Omg, he's scared. Psychology 101; if you are scared, act like you are not and bigger than you are!



KO round one and your winner is...Vitor...omg look at this wife...

The way Vitor was smiling as he walked up like they were still buddies, as if they were not going to be head to head in the cage tomorrow.... followed by the way the smile was knocked off his face quickly... and Vitors look afterwords... I would say Vitor is the one who looks scared.

Vitor was visibly shaking. Silva was steady.

Brittney Palmer is smokin hot!!! Donald Cerone is a lucky guy!!! Makes me want to start fighting again, solely to be able to pull pussy like that once again!!!!

AS looks pissed. If Vitor did say that he wears a mask and is a phony then I hope AS doesn't try to make an example out of him the way he tried with Maia.

It's been cleared up in the past where they said the "Silva taking offense to Maias comments" thing was just to hype the fight.



The real reason Maia was made an example of because he was nowhere near deserving of the fight. Dana wouldnt let him change weight classes, and forced Maia when Belfort dropped out of the fight.



Lets be real - Maia defeating Dan Miller in no way should have earned him a #1 contender spot. Especially so soon after getting dominated by Marquardt. Dan Miller has not defeated anyone who is of a decent caliber in the division.



Saying Maia deserved the title shot for beating Dan Miller is like saying Michael Bisping deserved a title shot for doing the same thing. That's crazy talk.

ME i hope sivl will do some taunts. Cause its funny.

Don't know why everybody is so big on being respectful to other like this is a church event, stick to following Pat Barry & see how far that gets yo dumb ass

I wanna see Vitor smoke that fool!!!!!!

Andreson is a great fighter, but he is a real scumbag....

War Vitooooor!!!!!!!

Aside from the side show that was the Demian Maia fight, the only times Anderson has acted a fool at the weigh ins is with people who disrespected him (Sonnen). Vitor did actually call him a phony and said he wears a mask. Thats why he had the mask. Not saying its okay, but there is a reason other then hes a scumbag.

Very rare to see Silva get in someone's face like that. I think SIlva will prove to all the dounters and haters tahts he's the best.

Silva by tko round 1. Thats right ROUND 1

It was V.B. That looked like he was caught off guard & spooked. I feel sorry for that boy already.

C'mon Silva, pissing off Vitor will just make the fight worse for you.

First round Vitor via Ko or Anderson second round submition

shit just got real folks,LMAO

watch the vid.

out of character for anderson maybe just out of character that he plays in public more and more anderson seems to buying into his own hype

I´m brazilian, its hard to understand it all, but Anderson says to Vitor: You are ****ed up!!!"...



Vitor Ko in second round... IoI

I prefer when fighters see MMA as a sport rather than some bad ass fight to the death thingy. I understand pumping a fight to sell tickets, especially when you get part of the buy ins or the gate. But come on, that was silly. Sometimes acting nice to a douche-bag is the best tactic. But sometimes you have to say enough is enough. I didn't like that stare down. Although it did make excited to see the fight, but only to see Anderson get beaten.

Talk'n about not making much sense, try again doggy

Hypocrisy is a way of life, ask Anderson.

I'm not gonna lie. Anderson Silva is one of the best fighters of this age. but he doesn't have the character of a champion. part of how martial arts makes you a better person is the fact that it ends up humbling you. Silva has lost that. everything's gotten to his head and hes just a skinnier Brazilian Brock Lesnar. Actually i take that back. Brock is definitely more humble than Silva.

I think Silva was a tad pissed....

By the way kind of off topic but Jones seems to not like Bader.. or am I reading into thier staredowns to much. Maybe the Aaron Simpson tweet made Jones a little angry.

This is like Ali vs Fraizer, Brazilian Style

good old Wanderlei style staredown

Not so sure this is the way forward for mma. Kinda playground mentality if you ask me. However amusing it appears, MMA is supposed to be about discipline and respect, not behaving like children. None the less will be setting my alarm tonight to see this intriguing match up along with a very good card the UFC has put together.

i think sSilva is taking this personally, even though he said it isn't personal. Either way this is going to be awesome!!!

typo

Anderson is hating on every fellow country man, if they want to fight him, weak standpoint for a champion.

He should want to fight the best, to see who is the best !!

Silva will never be a well liked champion because of his weak hype tactics !

(if you were a champion would you fight your best friend to see who's the best, wouldn't you just fight and drink beer after ?!

You jabrones need to realize Dana is the one who encourages this stuff. I wouldn't be at all surprised if he doesn't script it. He needs to take a back seat now and let someone with more class run the ufc. Otherwise we are going to be left with even more ridiculous charades. Not to mention throwing, scripting, and crafting fights. Strikeforce may not have better fighters yet but they have better fights so far. I am so sick of Dana Whites crap he has such a sleaze about him and the sport will never evolve past this kind of crap with him at the wheel.

movescamp. this is MMA, not pro wrestling. there is no acting in this sport. Dana White is probably more responsible than anyone else for this sport being so popular in the U.S. so if you actually like the sport, stop giving Dana shit and don't mistake emotion for acting. Anderson is pissed because Vitor used to train with Anderson at Blackhouse and now he's trying to take his belt. that's true anger. still i don't think that's how a champion should act.

well depends what you call good fights, strikeforce has had a run of "finishes" recently, but thats only down to their matchmaking style of pitting their good fighters against their only-just-credible fighters to either give us the expected brutal finish or the dramatic upset..

unfortunately it's not something they can stop doing either sinse theres such a big gap between their champs and their contenders

These guys don't like each other, that is evident. When you have two dumb asses who hate each other and don't know how to fight, they come in and throw wild bombs. But when you have two skilled elite fighters who dislike each other, it's pretty. It's going to be a great night of fights.

anderson is so confident, it's quite remarkable. his mental state is something you have to admire, regardless of whether he's a major prick or not. you can even feel vitor's heart skip a beat when silva takes off the mask and moves forward once more.

I definitely agree.imo

That was intense, man. This fight is so good, even the stare-down was epic.



This is a one round fight; there will be no round two. Calling VB by KO or TKO.

ok. i think some people might think calling Anderson a skinny Brazilian Brock Lesnar was stupid. but i didn't mean that they are similar in talent level or styles. i meant they are similar in they way they treat people who go after the title. i personally think everyone who enters the octagon deserves the respect of the fans. and i think whoever earns their way to a title shot should deserve the respect of the champion. Champions should represent the sport. acting childish just makes everyone look bad. i think Brock might have already learned that. we'll find out in TUF. The way I see Anderson act he seems to pretend to be humble, but he is very full of himself, which is the worst kind of arrogance in my opinion.

LOLOLOLOLOLOL VITOR UJELY
