    Here's the snip:

    Quoteworthy:
    I want to start everything from the beginning and win the most big belts that I can. I´ll give the maximum attention to my career and fight against the best athletes. I have this big wish of fighting against Quinton Jackson, I think it would be a great combat…. Then I´ll go to the superheavy category, this is my aim.

    – Former UFC “phenom” Vitor Belfort has his sights set on current UFC Light Heavyweight Champion, Rampage Jackson. The talented Brazilian is looking to get back in the mix as one of the best fighters in the sport. In the meantime, he has been approached by EliteXC to fight Robbie Lawler in a 185-pound title fight.
    ______________________________________________________

    I just don’t know, I mean I think he will have to work his way through all the loose contenders in the 185 pound division ! And with all the surprise wins and losses going on at the moment there quite a few people ahead of him, (Jardine, Houston, Griffin), in the queue for a shot at Rampage !

    Good luck to him getting a licence to fight in the U.S since he has twice broke his suspension for takin roids by fighting in Cage Rage.




    PS Had a gander at that link in work, whats the story with Anderi on Jerry Springer? I cant watch it here!

    Yeah I know, WTF is that all about ??

    He must be strapped for cash these days, seeing as he doesnt seem to be able to finish any of his recent opponents in the Octagon lately !! Maybe he is better off as a security gimp on Jerry Springer he could probably handle those fat guys in that clip lol

    heres the link: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=r4qyLrwgM0c

    The quality is a crap but u get the idea..

    The UFC dont need Vitor in the slightest.He has burned too many bridges,and at this stage it looks like grabbing a bit of publicity.

    Arlovski is a bit of a mystery,I can understand UFC's reluctance to put him in the octagon again.This is probably just a good pr op for him.After watching 25 min of Sylvia vs Arlovski III I would prefer not to see him fight,at least until he apoligises to me personally.

    Vitor at Super-Heavy? He'd surely be dwarfed at superheavy. I do like the thought of seeing him at 185 though.

    I have no desire to see Belfort in the UFC again. Let him phone in his fights somewhere else.

    Belfort would have to take massive amounts of steroids [again] to make Super Heavy. The thought of him getting smashed by Butterbean and Bob Sapp are enticing though.

    I recently had the priviledge of training with Belfort in the blackhouse gym in rio and judging by looks he's off the gear. He was a gentleman to everybody in the gym and in my opinion after seeing him train he deserves more respect than people are giving him at the min. I think he is on his way back since hooking up with blackhouse, he def is training with the best fighters in the world in there Silva machida noguiera need i say more

    I understand how you feel after you spent time with the guy,but I feel like he has let alot of ppl down,and they will probably not be too quick in letting it go.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22 mccaffertyt


    ah don't get me wrong he def has let a lot of people down and before i seen the training he puts in i'd have been one of the first to say the same. if he was still on roids i'd say **** him he's one of the ones destroying the sport

    Arlovski's good friend and training partner recently replaced "steve" on the Jerry Springer show. Thats why he's on it.

    As for Vitor I've given up on the guy. He's cool and when he's on form he's great. Unfortunately (and I learned this the hard way) coming in mentally prepared is as important as everything else. Vitors excuse of not having focus (aside from the times with the whole sister being kindnapped etc) is like saying "my jitz wasnt good enough". It's not an excuse, its a reason.

    I hope he gets his head together and can do what he did to Wand, or Eastman again.

    Peace

    Vitor is past it. A drop to 185 might revive his career. I think he should fight Robbie.
