Potentially great fight there. Belcher impresses me every time he fights, he should be an underdog here but I actually like his chances.

its crazy how young vitor is and how long he's been apart of the sport...that silva kick still crippled my faith in him, i might put that coli cash on belcher

I'm really feeling the middle weight division right now.

Silva has good fights on deck.

This is a good fight that will help get a dude lined up for a title shot.

Maybe the winner of this fight can square off with the winner of Stann and Count to get a shot @ Anderson

This is what they need to do if they want to avoid another maia/leites/cote situation with wideman.I think ufc are sort of just using the munoz fight to get his name out there.But they know fully well b4 Silva one more fight needs to take place.And with boetch having a broken toe the fallout of the mw fight at 152 is the perfect opportunity..

Should've done Belfort-Wiedman. If Weidman beats him impressively and the kid did it in style on a FX or FOX card....then give Weidman the title shot.



But if Belfort beats Weidman, especially in dramatic fashion, I feel Vitor would've done enough to warrant another title shot....only this time Anderson and Vitor could fight in Brazil. HUGE main event down there.

Belfort called out Weidman to fight him on the Brazil card and Weidman turned him down.
