On September 22nd, Vitor Belfort will step inside the Octagon as a heavy underdog, facing Jon Jones in the main event of UFC 152 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Fresh off his victory over Anthony "Rumble" Johnson in Brazil, Belfort will be looking to prove he still has what it takes to go toe-to-toe with some of the best pound-for-pound fighters on the planet. "The Phenom" discussed his match-up with Jon Jones, the decision making process behind accepting the fight, and what type of fight he expects from the reigning champ.

    He's gone so spiritual and seems to have found some extra-drive from the bible, whatever floats his boat really as long as those fists find their target!

    He is no different than alot of athletes out there who have God in their life.

    Just because your a spiritual person dosnt mean you do whatever you do to make an Honest Living to feed your family. The problem with Vitor is that he talks stupid...he talks s&^t... He is not suppose to as a Godly man...



    the other thing is that "i am not intimidated by JJ".... What does that mean? He felt the same way against Silva...and got knocked out in 1min.



    He cant win the title in the middleweight div...and now he deserves a chance for LHW title......UFC executives are stupid for making that matchup.....

    Theres a language barrier still slightly visible and if he believes in God, thats fine. You might see things differently if you found out a day before one of your fights, that your kidknapped sister was killed. He still went on to fight that night, then flew back home right after.

    I have nothing but respect for Vitor and you azzwipes making crap comments can fug yourselves.

    After every thing the guy has been through you can not blame the guy to want to believe in some thing spiritual, otherwise the guy would be in a very bad place and do some thing stupid like you see on the news every day.

    hope he comes out like a rocket and explodes all over jones in the first other wise jones will pick him apart get the takedown and finish vitor!

    so what happens when two devout christians face off...and one loses...jesus got favorites or what ? sure , his religion can help with many personal matters, i suppose it is a side stepping , not realizing it is simply faith that is empowering you, no matter where you place the faith, but honestly , i think it is stupid when athletes , especially in violent combat sports , try to accredit god or jesus to their win. as if the peaceful jesus is supposed to condone violence,in any form. then again , there is a hell of a lot of contradiction and lies within the religion itself. somewhere in the book of Luke, jesus says something to the effect of if any one does not want me to be their king, bring them here and kill them before me....sounds more like hitler, but people just get a little too brainwashed and dont want to see just how insane that is.

    LOL. Wandy is a weird guy. And hell, Spider has got to be the most annoying guy (next to Jon Jones) in MMA. His high pitch voice alone is disturbing.



    Vitor over Silva any day.

    First of all they only claim Jesus is there for them and helps them to do well and when they lose its part of life and Jesus helps them then too. They dont feel God owes them anything and thats why when bad things happen they still believe. As far as your luke interpretation, that is not something within the bible. It says love you enemies and do good to those who persecute you as he did. I think if you spent a little more time studying the bible you will find that it may not convince you to adhere to it but you would see it is certainly not telling anyone to be crazy.

    Jones wouldnt have fought the night she died. He wont even fight 8 days out with anyone.. 2ndly this video was about Vitor and comments made about Vitor, who isnt afraid to fight others and isnt a douche bag every time he opens his mouth. Keep up HATE, though I know thats difficult for you.

    Just an FYI: Vitor's sister wasn't known to be dead until a few years later. She was still considered missing that night he fought Couture.



    It was still incredibly ballsy for him to fight with that situation going on.

    Wouldn't it be cool to have a guy nodding at everything you say whenever you speak. I think they are calles "yesmen" Works pretty good for Vitor.

    Vitor has faced some adversity and very hard times in his life (his sister getting kid napped for one), and if his religion can help him rise above and find hope wherever he goes than that's great. I think Vitor is awesome and this sort of attitude/personality is much more admirable than just acting c0cky or talking trash. Good luck and God bless Vitor!

    This fight is such a joke, Vitor is on his way out he's not a true competitor anymore. Surely Alexander Gufferson was the obvious choice?

    Alexander G. Ain't fought nobody @official UK. I'm tired of hearing his name in the title mix. His last fight was a boring ass decision over a rusty ass thiago silva.

    Its funny how he says jones is the best of all time in the UFC. I don't know if he is trying to disrespect silva or he truly believes it. Aside from that I am rooting for Belfort to get a crazy Knock out not because I don't like Jones but I want to see him run across the cage swinging like he did against W.Silva. That was crazy.

    And you are a badass, right? How come, that the Ufc did not contact you to step in? From what you said, you disrespect all the guys Jones fought, you disrespect him and your so beloved Ufc, and now I realized that I spend my time replaying to a trud like you.

    when i said that he can't bust a grape i was just trolling because i don't like jones but even though i don't like him i do acknowledge his achievements that he has accomplished in a short amount of time that he did it in like beating all of those fighters that u mentioned even though when if beat shogun he was coming off of a knee injury and he wasn't himself as everyone could clearly see and as far as people saying hes one of the best fighters ever and that hes the 3rd pound 4 pound fighter on the planet or that hes the greastest talent the ufcs ever seen need to step off of him and quit saying that because it rediculous the way i see it and feel about is until hes done and achieved what randy couture, dan henderson,matt hughs and anderson silva has people need to stop making him out to be better than he actually is i mean hes pretty good but hes not that good and in my opinion he wouldn't be as good as he his without his freakishly long reach and as for the reasons i dont like him is i think hes not genuine and that he just put on a front for everyone and hes too ****y and the reason hes so ****y is that hes let all the things hes accomplished get to his head which makes him believe hes better than hes actually is and i for one and most people feel the same way and most people don't like people who let things get to their head its just annoying and thats all im gonna say about for the moment because there's a lot of other things i could say about him like that he was the reasonn ufc 151 was canceled but i won't because i've already said way to much so goodbye
