Vitor Belfort has some high-profile teammates at his Blackzilians camp in Florida in the form of Rashad Evans and Alistair Overeem. Both the former Light Heavyweight champion and the former K-1 Grand Prix champion weigh in on Belfort's chances in his title fight against Jon Jones this Saturday. Evans speaks up to show respect for Belfort's experience and blend of athleticism with technique. Evans makes a good point when he notes that Belfort is fighting with nothing to lose, which makes him dangerous. Overeem also brings up Belfort's experience but also notes the vast skills of Jon Jones as well. Some comments from more teammates round out the video from UFC.com. Does Vitor Belfort truly stand a chance in the Octagon on Saturday?

    Is it just me or is Overeem looking smaller?



    he still looks big but not much bigger than Vitor here, while in his UFC debut he was bigger than Brock

    I agree Keith. I'll be quite interested to see what he weighs in at for his next fight.

    I will get wreaked to death but I actually agree with that. Especially when he had his afro. He was huge! His vascularity is also insane, and not just when he is cutting and dehydrated.
