Alright I just watched the fight a few more times and I just can't believe how many of VITOR's punches Anderson was able to just barely move out of the way of.  I don't know if anyone noticed but even when Belfort took Anderson down and went to rain down a big shot, Anderson simply slipped his head back a couple inches and it just missed by an inch.  It seemed like every punch Belfort threw after those initial couple that woke Silva up completely missed by an inch or two every single time!  Belfort was throwing good shots, but Anderson's head was constantly slipping out of the way.  I can't stop watching this fight it's just incredible what Anderson was able to do to Vitor.

I know this is nothing new for Anderson to be doing, but to do it against someone with the speed and power of Vitor Belfort is just amazing to watch over and over.  Why people continue to doubt Anderson and what he's accomplished is just beyond my understanding.

Also if anyone could possibly make a gif of Vitor's takedown and the punch he tried to hit Anderson with, I'd appreciate it.

I agree entirely with the first paragraph.
The second I somewhat agree with but the reason people doubt him i think comes down to him being willing to dance instead of engaging.  hes an amazing counter fighter that is for sure.

Silva is one of the best counter fighters out there ... I'm glad they are putting him in the cage with people that are making him show up or shut up
