Belfort vs. Henderson II

This is the official discussion thread for Belfort vs. Henderson II. Let's see what you've got.

Vitor Belfort probably had two times the amount of testosterone Jones had when they fought. Think about that you whiteknight Vitor lovers. 

As much as i love Vitor, his style doesn't go well with a granite chin and H-Bombs.
We have to see the shape these guys show up in.

For Hendo is easy, do what you do, you can't get folded by shots. Maybe liver ones?
For Belfort. Here is the tricky one. I'd say how Belfort can win the easiest is by submission. He has great BJJ and should focus on using it as he should. Avoid the right hand, pace himself, and don't get ****y in testing his chin with Hendo's fists

I'm hoping Hendo finishes Vitor off but not so confident.  The way Dan keeps his hand ****ed back leaves his button open and though he is known for his chin of steel, every superman has his kryptonite.  Vitor is no joke and when he's TRT raging, he's even scarier a beast.

Viva Hendo!

Im a big Vitor fan. But come on guys. Vitor ko out Bisping & Rockhold. Look who Hendo has fought. The best of the best. Vitor is amazing but his cardio is suspect and so is his chin. We know Hendo has never been ko. Hendo ko's Vitor probably in the 2nd or 3rd!!!

Vitor is much faster and explosive than Hendo and has enough BJJ skills to sub him besides Belfort doesn´t need to knock out cold Hendo, but he has enugh power to stun him and put the works on him on the ground for a TKO stoppage

I got Vitor by KO also, because, well...everyone's chin goes sometime or another. Tomorrow's the night for Hendo, sadly...

I picked Hendo. It's almost a heart pick because I expect Vitor to be way the hell faster than him but I also expect Hendo to be basically a little tougher than Vitor. Both on the chin and mind/heart. But Vitor has been coming in all fired up and crazy lately so... who knows what we will get.. either guy has a good chance I think. Someone mentioned Hendo being put on his back, I think its pretty unlikely, if we see any take downs I think it will be from Henderson. The way I'm (very hopefully) picturing it Hendo eats whatever Vitor hits him with, Vitor panics and gets knocked out.

Hendo has some of the worst MMA wrestling I've ever seen from a guy with such a decorated wrestling backround. ****s embarrassing. If someones going to get a TD it's going to be vitor. Right before he subs him

Praying for Hendo's family. he's only in his 40's and he's already gonna meet Jesus.

Belfor told me earlier today in a satellite phone interview he plans to pull guard 3 times then get TKO'd by Hender in spectacular fashion

They met in Pride and Vitor lost a unanimous decision plus he was roid raging back then.  

I say Hendo should be the favorite for the fight tonight and gets the win.

When it comes down it it, I will always go with speed and technique (Vitor) over brute strength and power (Hendo)

Everyone knows Hendo is gonna be looking for that one big shot, I just think Vitor has the speed and agility to stay away from it and pick him apart.

I thought about it being 5 rounds and Vitor's problem in the past with going the distance but Hendo has just as many problems in that area of fighting.

**** it I'm changing my pick. Go Hendo, GOAT!

For everyone wondering, this was my reaction to the JESUS TRT KO...

Jesus,meet Hendo. Hendo, Jesus.

wow never thought that would happen. Ive never seen Vitor like this before. Hes destroying everyone. Dana has to give Vitor a title shot now!! I hope he gets the rematch with Anderson but if its Weidman thats fine too. But Dana he deserves it more than anyone else. Give it to the man!! Hes a class act & hes great for the sport

Personally don't think they need to give Vitor anything. To be honest they should not be letting him fight in Brazil period. He clearly abusing TRT something no other commission out side Brazil will even let him use. If Dana and UFC where really trying to clean the sport up, they would make Vitor fight  a number one contender fight outside Brazil and give him random drug testing. I think one of two scenarios would play out if they did this. One scenarios is that Vitor would get popped for elevated testosterone. The other is Vitor would have god awful weight cut to 185 and look like haft the fighter he does when in brazil.


People that a down arrow me, your just mad I am speaking the truth and you dam well know it. Vitor has clearly benefit greatly from trt. He would not have accomplish what he has been without it. TRT is big advantage and people being naive to assume it not. There are several fighters where you can clearly see TRT has impacted there career making them much better then they previously where. Like chael for instances. As soon he starts taking trt he goes on a tear and become constant top 5'er. Dan Henderson goes on TRT and starts knocking everyone out, Overreem takes it becomes a monster and starts knocking out everyone and becomes K1 champ and then we have Vitor who is now head kicking people out and just dominating. He looks stronger, faster and now is no longer plague with stamina issues which where his bane for majority of his career. People denying this correlation between fighters turning around there career after taking trt, are just being willfully ignorant.
