Mike Dolce: Vitor Belfort is perfectly built to knock Jon Jones out
Posted on September 8, 2012, 06:31 AM by Anton Gurevich
Bookmakers consider Vitor "The Phenom" Belfort a 13-1 underdog for his UFC 152 main event clash with Jon Jones. Belfort's camp ridicules his heavy underdog status, claiming that the Brazilian phenom is the man to teach Jon Jones a lesson.
Speaking via UFC.com, Belfort's nutritionist, Mike Dolce, revealed about his protege's diet in preparations for September 22nd. According to Dolce, Belfort is perfectly built to KO the champ, thanks to his legendary speed inside the Octagon (via UFC.com):
"Look what Vitor did to former world champion Rich Franklin, look what Vitor did to Matt Lindland, who was the best middleweight at one time. Vitor finished Anthony Johnson, who is not as tall as Jon Jones, but almost as long and definitely heavier and more muscular than Jon Jones. Vitor is a finishing machine, he’s a knockout machine, his jiu-jitsu is amazing. I’ve seen Vitor wrestle; he’s got some of the most underrated wrestling in MMA. That’s the Vitor I know.
I saw the odds – 13 to 1 underdog! When I heard about this fight, as soon as Vitor called me I said, ‘You’re going to win this fight! You are perfectly built to knock Jon out.’ Look at Jon Jones versus (Lyoto) Machida. Machida could touch Jones all day with that left hand to the jaw. Vitor is twice as powerful and four times faster than Machida. So if Machida can touch Jones’ jaw, Vitor is going to obliterate it. No disrespect to Jon, it’s just a terrible matchup for Jon Jones. That’s my belief."
Vitor Belfort is 8-2 in his last 10 fights, losing only to Dan Henderson (PRIDE 32) and Anderson Silva (UFC 126). "The Phenom" is on a two-fight win streak, with victories over Yoshihiro Akiyama and Anthony "Rumble" Johnson. UFC 152 will mark Vitor Belfort's 17th appearance inside the UFC Octagon.

Why do people say stupid shlt like this?
Shouldn't he be making a salad or something?
well said. I cant stand mike dolce. he is always saying that his diet is the best but His body doesnt even look that good .
What the heck is Mike Dolce smoking....
Did you see what Vitor did to Franklin, then Linland and then Johnson...
GET OFF THE PIPE BONEHEAD.....Your so full of crap....
Anybody with heavy hands has the power to Knockout Anyone...
Vitor has all kinds of problems with this fight starting with:
Reach: 10inches is nothing to laugh at... Vitor is going to have to rush in kind of how Machida did...kamakazee style.....and which fight did "high on crack Dolce watch when Machida fought JJ. "Machida could touch Jones all day w/left hand"...Machida didnt and thats a fact....
Wrestling: you are out of your pea brain mind if you think Jones wont be so successful wrestling Vitor......lets watch a learn when fight night comes...then you can take up synchronize swimming....
Cardio: Not only does Vitor have problems in this area already, but lets not forget he is coming in 20lbs heavier from 185. He is going to have to carry that extra weight around during the fight....and lets be honest...Jones has cardio that can last...
I put $50 on that lookin for $600 Vitor has really fast hands still , good chin
he can do it..great chin fast hands with great power...will take the odds
... M-1 must be a chubby chaser
His diet is good, but all common sense. Isn't rocket science or anything.
I thought Dolce said some awesome things. He meant them, that's for sure. You on the other hand, don't contribute anything honest.
So . . . saying Dolce says "awesome things' is contributing? I get it, agree with stupid stuff and I'm OK, a "contributor", right?
How's this: Yea, JBJ is gonna get his arse kicked at 152 cause Vitor is literally FOUR TIMES faster than Machida and has TWICE the strength of Machida and has the perfect build to KNOCK OUT JBJ.
K . . .
WEAK !!!!!!!
If you actually could combine Belfort's power with Machida's elusive karate style, Dolce's comments might make sense.
But why stop there? Why not give him Anderson's leg kicks, Roy Nelson's chin, and GSP's humility?
And iff my grandma had wheels, she'd be a wagon.
Dunno why someone weaked that one crane had me laughing lol.
"GSP's humility" LOL, he's a saint.
Thanks. When I first started posting, "weaks" annyoed me. Now....pfff. It's hard to make everyone laugh.
hehe, well, relatively saintly. I was gonna say "Dana's wallet".
cant describe how much i want vitor to win against jones!!!
I want Jones to win just because the haters will be pissed ha ha. Jones could lose to any fighter on any night but in all likelihood it won't happen if he maintains composure and consistency.
I know man, just imagine the rush when one of those Vitor flurries connects clean, bones' eyes rolling back and the man going down like timber..
Yeah true,,,but the same case was made when Vitor fought the Spyder...
From Dolce remarks Vitor should of knocked out Silva into next week...
but we all saw the fight how silva did quick work of the Phenom...
All of Vitor's speed, boxing skills and quickness didnt matter for crap....
And now Vitor is going to be fighting someone taller, longer reach and faster than Silva....
Vitor wasn't doing bad at all against Silva obviously until that insane karate chopchop kick out of nowhere..It was kind of a lucky hit i think, pure skill but a tad lucky that it hit that clean.
Then again we can analyze and predict all we want just got to wait and see.....
i am not a hater. i am a long time vitor fan!!!
If Jones were to get knocked out I just hope he doesnt come back like gsp, taking no chances and fighting every fight not to lose.
There's every chance of that happening if his coach is Greg Jackson!
Visitor's coach saying he is the perfect guy to KO Jones... I'm sure that's what the coaches of Vera, Bader, Shogun, Rampage, Lyoto and Rashad said....
*Vitor's.... god damn Android Phone fail
Double Shot. KFC.
Yeah,,,,as always
wait a minute M1-Gangsta didn't mention Fedor in his post I'm confused.
Please stop giving Dolce headlines. Does anyone really care what this kiss ass thinks? He's a wannabe fighter and business man.
if Belfort wins this is like beginning of the end of UFC.I Fedor foght Belfort back in days wuld of been washet up ex UFC fighter people were calling him can now beaten in MWD fighting for the belt in LHW lose lose for Jones.
what???
I feel like a retard for even thinking about commenting.
Dolce should stick to his bullsh*t diet and STFU already. Go bake some cookies or something. His diet is all common sense anyway, anyone with half a brain knows how to eat right.
