Vitor Belfort training hard for the fight against Anderson Silva, next week at UFC 126
Posted on January 25, 2011, 08:13 AM by Anton GurevichNext week, UFC veteran Vitor Belfort will look to make what so many fighters failed before him - defeating the reigning UFC Heavyweight Champion Anderson "The Spider" Silva. Belfort decided to leave his long-time coach Shawn Tompkins, to prepare for the fight at famous Xtreme Couture Gym in Las Vegas, Nevada. "The Phenom" is currently on five-fight winning streak, losing to Dan Henderson four years ago via a Unanimous Decision at Pride 32.
The fight will headline UFC 126 at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, Nevada on February 5th, as the Light Heavyweight collision between Rich Franklin and Forrest Griffin serves as the co-main event of the night.

Knock him out vitor
This is going to be such a great fight can't wait
The music they are playing in the background wouldn't make me want to work out at all. I'm sure someone is tearing up in the corner somewhere in that gym and writing in their journal.
Al I got to say... What is up with bringing back the Flash Dance tights from 83? LMAO!
Next MW Champion right there!!!!!!!! WHAO! Can't wait to see Silva get KTFO!
I don't care who you are.. you do not wanna stand with the Spider..
if any 1 can ko silva , it's this man vitor!
I want Anderson Silva to win, Now Vitor's weakness are leg kick's and Anderson will utilize that Tae kwon doe black belt to the fullest and punish vitor with leg kicks, Go Anderson
Just because he was mopp'n dudes back when Dana White had hair doesn't mean nada . Ancient fight clips & tragic stories about his life got you mid western farm boys confused....SILVA GOT THIS
I like belfort but I think A.S. is a strong favourite, I don't think it will be as close as people think. Apart from the franklin fight where he did look pretty good his last fights of any significance were around 2006 where he lost most of them. I know he's had a few problems but he is not the fighter he was when he burst onto the scene in the 90's.
true, he's better.
is this a double, repost? lol. VITOR BY KNOCKOUT!!!
Anyone else notice he's working out to Maroon 5 in the first video....?
Background music makes it hard to hear what he's saying, pretty annoying.
It's not the same seeing a fighter work the ropes after seeing Brock do it.
VITOR will knock silva out cold....period.
Anderson Silva via knock out in round 3
I actually don't think there'll be any finish. They're both great strikers but they also both have good chins, and Anderson is damn near impossible to hit. I see silva staying in the outside, utilising kicks and jabs to keep belfort at distance where he's less dangerous. If belfort can somehow close the distance and get on the pocket with silva like sonnen did then he could cause him some trouble.
Finally, vitor hasn't fought in 2 years and ring rust is a real thing. This is a championship fight so he better be prepared to go 5 rounds with the spider, and I believe he will, with silva taking a decision.
I smell a five round decision.
for belfort cant finish the fight in the 1st 2 rounds then sliva will win..
Vitor can be lethal with the right training and game plan.
Watch for Vitor to wrestle Anderson and beat his ass on the ground.
vitor by barrage of punches first round first 10 seconds. aha
WAR VITOR !!
