I think that griffin deserves to fight rampage before anyone.

can vitor even make 185? hes huge

Why am I never first. Anyway vitor belfort needs to fight again he was always fun to watch. Dana needs to sign him again.

With the talent he showed back in his prime, matched with his still young age and amazing camp, I think Belfort could def put himself in the top 10, easily. He trains with Machida and Anderson Silva (and I think the Nog brothers too). He needs to rematch Tito and move on from there.

I say let Griffin fight Houston. If he beats him, than he gets Jackson. Either that or a Griffin Jardine Rematch. No one else really deserves to fight Rampage yet, there are too many losses amongst the contenders, with no one standing clearly ahead.

I want to see Vitor back in the UFC extremely bad, but I think just like everybody else needs to work his way up. I would love to see a Tito/Vitor II.

Vitor vs. Rampage would be a slaughter. Rampage is much more stronger and better standing up than Vitor.

O MY JEEBUS, Vito Belfort is back?! Can’t wait to see him fight.

Definately, i’ll have to admit that Page is better standing, that Vitor. Even though Belfort is my best fighter, he needs to mix things up and jump in there with Tito or Liddell again, then he can work his way up one more fight and challenge the standing contender at that time! Vitor has to earn his way like everyone else. Well that seems to be happening right now, with all the losses and wins from unexpected winners and unexpected winners…

“unexpected losses” i meant to say
Thanks

Fun to watch? Yeah maybe 7-8 years ago. Have you seen his fights lately? he’s not the same fighter that came on the ufc scene and was destroying people. Now he’s lucky if he throw 2 power punches an entire match. He’s washed up, no sense bringing him back to get raped by Rampage.

vitor has so much talent and so little heart…

id love to see him back though. vitor vs houston. vitor vs. rashad. vitor vs chuck again. so much fun to be had. if he can really make 185 id to see him kill okami and macdonalds.

by the way… i dont know why youre saying that rampage is better standing. when he comes to fight, NOBODY has vitors hands. (fought scared against chuck–randy and tito took him out of his game)

I’m so excited about this news. Vitor Belfort is one fighter that I’ve wanted to see back in the octagon for so long. Vitor is an amazing, exciting fighter that lost his focus when he went through that tragedy with his sister. I wasn’t sure if he would ever overcome that awful event and was afraid that we were all watching the twilight turn into the sunset of his career, but it was so sudden I hoped that wasn’t the case. I knew there was more that Vitor had to give. That is one bad dude.

People talk about various fighters ushering MMA into the popular mainstream, and in any conversation like that you can’t ignore the role that Vitor played. Back in the day, he was a big, athletic monster that liked to knock you out, but was also a black belt in BJJ. His KO of Wanderlei is still one of my favorites. The only Belfort KO that beats Wandy’s, is his vicious, progressive KO of John Hess, which saw Vitor slowly pound a supine Hess to sleep. Just thinking about that makes me want to fight right now. Back when I started training, whenever I drove a guy back with a flurry I have to admit that in my head I was trying to be Vitor. I know, that’s juvenile. So what? Wanna fight about it? Haha

This quote makes him sound like he’s finally gotten his head back. Vitor is huge, but I’m really not sure about him making super HW though. I’m sure he could make it, but he’d be a fat-ass and slow like BJ was at 220 fighting Machida.

Anyway, this is great news! Belfort vs. Shogun, Houston, Liddell, Ortiz… this could get interesting.

That would be awesome to see Vitor cut to 185 and fight Robbie Lawler.

Or Strikeforce and EliteXC can set up Babalu vs. Vitor.

Vitor’s last fight was probably the worst fight of 2007 - snoozer big time.

Vitor has to first earn his way to rampage

It would be great to see Vitor back in the UFC, we all know he’s one of the most talented fighters out their but he needs to bring it to the big stage again. At his best he could be a serious contender……..but not yet!

Too bad Vitor was roided and is half the size he used to be. It makes sense for him to cut to 185 considering he carries much less muscle weight now. The old Vitor would have had to cut off his legs to make 185.

I hope he still has machine gun hands

Vitor is done, he looked terrible in his last fight, he will never get back in the UFC.

I would love to see Vitor back in the UFC.
When he is not fighting “shook” he does amazing, and is a very entertaining fighter.
If he could come in the UFC the way he did before people better watch out. But if he performs like he did when fighting Randy he will be run over by the already stacked division.
I would also like to see him fight at 185. If he can make that weight, comfortable enough to fight strong he should get in that divison. If he does fight Robbie in Elite, he will most likely win, and be the new MW champ(my opinion)
But never count Robbie out, he did just smash ninja Rua.
Either way im looking forward to seeing Belfort back in action!

vitor years ago would have a chance but now he should just stay in cage rage fighting the likes of james zikic.if dana thought he was a top contender who could shake the lhw division up he would resign him.no desrespect to the phenom but i even think michael bisping would b a top match for him.i dont think there is a top5/6 lhw who would lose much sleep over him nowadays.

What is this Everquest?

Belfort @ one time was one of the best fighters in the world. Definitely lost focus though…

I’m a big Phenom Fan..early in his career he had the best boxing skills in the game..but he juiced his ass off..Like when he beat Tank Abbot..( was when he was at his best )..he was Roided..he BJJ is verey disapointing to me..I never see it. I think he should fight in the LHW division again.. before he is mildly considered for a shot at the Champ. I would like to see.

Vitor vs Shogun

Tito vs Vitor part2

Vitor vs Houston

Vitor vs Henderson

Then lets see if he can come close to knocking on the door again.

In the HW division Hummmm….

Randy owns him..I don’t give him a chance at beating Randy even if Randy is 65 yrs old.

If Big Nog becomes Champ?? Will he want to fight his former team mate?? Anyway Nog would beat him.

Or if Fedor is in..and becomes the UFC HH Champ??

Vitor should just go to the IFL..or StrikeForce..he’ll have a better shot there.

Didn’t chuck destroy this guy? How does he think he can handle Rampage?

yup doesnt look good when Tito’s had the best of you

..He was rocking that hair cut back in the day.. that’s around the time Sakuraba busted him up. ( he has that same funky hair hair when Saku made his leg look like a drum stick )

Check out Fedor..just more reason for him to be in the UFC now!

Since August of 2004, that’s 3 years, Vitor is 4-5. Every fight he had against a good opponent, he lost. He only beat fighters that I never heard of in the last 3 years.

He has beaten:
James Zikic
Ivan Serati
Yoshiki Takahashi
Antony Rea

Over that same time, he had lost to:
Dan Henderson
Alistair Overeem (TWICE)
Tito Ortiz
Randy Couture

I don’t know about you, but that doesn’t even sound like some one that should even be fighting in the UFC, never mind calling out the champ, Rampage!

Vitor hasn’t been the same since Randy beat him stand-up.

Rampage’s coach, Juanito thinks Belfort could have been the best pound for pound fighter if he had stayed with him. Vitor is solid and he needs to get back to the UFC, he currently fights in britain where there’s not much competition.

hes completely roided out dont bother

Belfort will never fight in the ufc. He fought out of the country while suspended for roid use against Henderson. I doubt any commission would liscense him to fight any time soon

Thats like me saying I wanna fight Fedor…. Fat chance of that happening, even though I wouldn’t even Dare look at Fedor funny, let alone fight him!!!

This is crap thats being reported as news, when there isn’t anything else worth talking about!

He wants to fight Rampage…. get in the back of the BUS. Even if the UFC would resign him, there are about 12 LHW fighters in the UFC ahead of him in the title picture…. Personally I hope to never see Vitor fight again… I was a big Fan of his many years ago…. but ever since Sakuraba blasted him witrh that spinning back kick… His career has been in a downward spiral.

Vitor found God and became a BUM!!!

didn’t he get suspended for roids at one time, even if he were to come back to the ufc, it wouldn’t be the victor of old, he probably get his butt kicked, but still it would be nice to see him back. i doubt he will ever fight rampage for the belt, he would have to win 3 or 4 in a row to do that.

dave - Griffin earned himself a title shot by beating Shogun. It’s just that simple. Plus he has two wins to Jardine’s one.

[quote comment=”163578″]Didn’t chuck destroy this guy? How does he think he can handle Rampage?[/quote]

It was a split decision.

The most interesting fight for Vitor right now would be in EliteXC against Frank Shamrock at 185lbs.

Other than that he needs to go ahead and call it a career.

Vitor was more like the MMA version of Mike Tyson than Chuck, both came in VERY young and were both the youngest champs ever and both had a whirlwind style that overwhelmed opponents and much like Tyson when Vitor met a guy who didn’t crumble when hit thats when the cat was let out the bag that if you were tough enough to stand up to him and weather the early storm that you would have a chance to beating him.

Man, not a lot of love for The Phenom on this site. Like Chuck said, anyone with one punch knock-out power is dangerous. He would be interesting to watch in the UFC. He should definitely fight as a MW because he would be huge and ultra-fast, and a Vitor/Franklin or Vitor/Silva match should be exciting. Then also, he could train with Juanito and Page up there in Big Bear.

That’s not fair to say he doesn’t belong in the UFC. What’s up with the exaggerated hate? Vitor is the former LHW champ. If Ken Shamrock can fight until he’s 40, then Vitor should definitely be given a chance to fight his way toward Rampage.

Fuck guys, his sister was kidnapped and murdered. Vitor loved his sister very much. How the hell can fighting seem important after that? Give the guy a break.

Either Machida should fight Rampage…

or Machida vs Forrest to see who fights Rampage…

If there is or was a clear contender it is Machida, although some find his style boring he is clearly ahead of the game in deseerving a title shot…

with that said…

I think Rampage will be too tough for him, Machida won’t be able to escape with counter shots while back pedaling the entire fight, QRJ will catch him…

I’d always give Vitor a wild card back into the UFC. He’s had a tough time of it, especially with the disappearance of his sister. Plus he went into his last fight with a broken hand so he couldn’t strike. I’d give him another contract.

I don’t know about a contract, but given his body of work over his entire career he should get a shot. He has a big name and reputation that Dana would love to sell to the PPV-buying public. As for Vitor’s demand to fight Rampage, well, get your juiced up ass to the back of the line, buddy.

i think he deserves a contract with the ufc. not sure what he could do at lightheavy or heavy. i think he’d have a shot at middleweight in the ufc. he has talked about going down and maybe fighting lawler in elite xc. i honestly think lawler is top 2 or 3 in the world so that would be a good fight. hopefully we see him back in the ufc though.

[quote comment=”163636″]Belfort will never fight in the ufc. He fought out of the country while suspended for roid use against Henderson. I doubt any commission would liscense him to fight any time soon[/quote]
Yeah, I don’t think Vitor can fight in the U.S. (sanctioned organization) after thumbing his nose at the commissions. He should have just served his suspension. Not smart.

It just seemed like Griffin’s fight with Shogun didn’t prove anything. Shogun was total shit, my mom’s Bijon Frises could have beaten Shogun that day. He was soft and sluggish from the get-go. Nope, I say Griffin deserves to fight Machida or Alexander for a go at Rampage. The Shogun fight just didn’t prove anything to me other than Shogun either 1) wasn’t ready, 2) was on roids before, 3) was distracted about marriage etc.

He should definitely be forced to earn himself a shot at any UFC title. I can see EliteXC pushing Vitor to the front since they need marquee fighters to headline their shows, but in the UFC there’s no shortage of big names, especially in the LHW division. Vitor should earn his spot, just like anyone else.

One solution: if I were UFC brass, I’d offer Vitor a small showing fee for the first three or four fights but large win bonuses. That way the investment is minimal if he doesn’t win, but if he does, he’s rewarded as he should be, given that he is after all Vitor Belfort. There is still some mystique surrounding his name to many US fans — in other words, he is still marketable.

Then if he starts tearing through the ranks, he can re-sign a big contract and everyone’s happy.

Sure there’s no consensus number 1 LHW contender, but I don’t think Rampage should wait for it to be all settled, because it could take a while especially if there are more upsets. I don’t have a problem with letting Forrest fight Rampage. First of all, it will satisfy all the Forrest/TUF nuthuggers who have been waiting to see Forrest get a shot at the title. There’s people that say “What if Forrest wins? He didn’t even deserve the shot!”. Guess what, if you beat the champ, then you were deserving of the shot lol.

Very true. But he still has the physical tools to do anything. He needs a great camp and a sports psychologist.

Some of the most amazing displays of hand speed, wins, and just overall gracefull athletesism were displayed by Vitor (e.g., versus Wanderlei, versus Eastman - wow! no one has ever handled those guys like that but Vitor).

When he’s on, he’s one of the best. He’s just been so inconsistant.

Dave,

Please dont cast dispersions on the Bijon- this animal is quite fierce for its petite size.

In any event, my thinking is similar to yours. Shogun needs to validate his ability in the UFC before we give Griffin the key to the store.

This one win, two win stuff really bothers me. Alexander has two wins - does this mean he is higher on the list than Henderson who has no wins? Moreover, I feel Jardine should be 13-2, for he clearly beat one of my favorites in the American Psycho, but should we only consider that he has one win in a row for beating Chuck?

All this logic reminds me of a bunch of women trying convince themselves they need a new pair of shoes; that is, they hold on to any arguement that allows them do what they truly desire regardless of how shallow the line of thinking is. If we need to market a fight that is one thing - but lets eliminate this one fight, two fight stuff irrespective of where it might of come from.

Jardine V Page
Lidell v Silva
Griffin v Henderson
Bisping v Hamill
Machida v Alexander
Tito v Rashad

It was a Total waste of time reading your comments or whatever they are!

Anyway, Vitor is an animal when he is on his game. I would like to see the old vitor, or should I say the phenom fight again in the cage as soon as possible. I dont think a title shot is in the picture yet or maybe for a while. He has to reastablish himself as a title contender first. Everybody would like to come in and get a title shot right away but it doesnt work that way. If he can(reastablish himself a contender) then I would love to see him and Rampage but there are alot of people in the way that are after the same thing. Forrest, Jardine, Henderson, Evans, Liddell, Alexander, Machida, Silva, Shogun etc. would have something to say about
him getting a shot without beating any of them first.

vitor and rampage should be a crazy fight. id like to see that fight happen so that rampage power slams him like he slamed ricardo arona. but id like to see a rematch between vitor and wanderlei

Firstly, I am a massive Vitor fan (when he comes to fight)

I went to Blackhouse fight gym (Recerio, Rio) earlier this year and trained with a few of the guys there. Vitor is a very emotional fighter and relies on his opponent breaking quickly.

For him to even get close to Rampage he will need to increase his training and prepare like he used too. Rampage is a machine and he proved this again against Hendo. I can not see him getting beat for along time.

The problem these is that fighters know how to deal with someone that comes out swinging, like the old Vitor. he needs to prepare to keep getting up when taken down and keep throwing.

Vitor is just like Tito. Really good allong time ago. I say have them fight each other and then retire them both. They are spent. If you believe otherwise then you must be dreaming.

How’s it feel to want? Get in line.

[quote comment=”163954″][quote comment=”163636″]Belfort will never fight in the ufc. He fought out of the country while suspended for roid use against Henderson. I doubt any commission would liscense him to fight any time soon[/quote]
Yeah, I don’t think Vitor can fight in the U.S. (sanctioned organization) after thumbing his nose at the commissions. He should have just served his suspension. Not smart.[/quote]

That’s the most important thing. If he can’t get licensed to fight he is not going to fight in the US.

Why doesn’t the UFC bring back Keith Hackney too while their at it? Vitor is washed up, and no longer dedicated to the sport. Back when he was, he was the PHENOM. But now, he has reduced himself to the DREAMER.

I am a HUGE Vitor fan. I am also a realist.

When Juanito was once asked about Vitor he said that a guy who fights with his heart on his sleeve is either a good thing or a bad thing depending on where his head is at. unfortunately Vitors head has not been on fighting for almost 6 years now. Juanito said that Vitor is fighting now for all the wrong reasons.

I am a Psych major and I have to say that its obvious that Vitor has issues, he almost comes across as a guy who is perpetually feeling guilty for what happend to his sister. He doesn’t allow himself to be free from that demon.

Remember there were rumors that his sister was murdered by her boyfriend for years but that turned out to be untrue as they had never recovered the body and now its coming out that some young lady was being charged with the murder. I wouldn’t be surprised if there was more to that story than what the Belfort family lets on maybe along the lines of extortion or something of that nature.

I think that Vitor could at his age still reinvent himself at a different weight class if he was to get back with Juanito and train in Big Bear (stamina was always one of his weak points) But I don’t see him ever being an elite fighter at Light Heavy or Heavyweight again.

houston beat keith and keith beat forrest they should match up axe murder silva and houston against eachouter two strikers exciting fight.

houston is the #1 contender he destroyed dean of mean put him up against rampage or axe murder

True true..Sad but true…I heard that it was a kidanpping, and they have charged more than one suspect…i can’t find the link, but when i do i will post…Unfortunately, Vitor has beaten him-self up for it. You could see it on his face when he destroys Eastman in seconds…You could see Votir going through some sht there, by just loking at his face. And his las few fight’s..Is looks like he’s just making it by. But still, Vitor is my fav fighter, really hope the guy can conquer his emotions and get a grip on reality. Good luck Boi!

r u kiddin me up there rampage doesnt have better striking then belfort. if belfort had better conditioning he would kill anyone all his fights he dominates early. he needs to work on his conditioning and hell be better then ever.

Houston wins two fights and he is the #1 contender? U kiddin me if anything it should be Forrest but at this point after the Forrest/Jackson fight in the summer if Rampage wins he should fight Machida, if Machida does beat Tito which will be hard, Houston needs to improve his ground game a bit before he fights for the title. Then u got Jardine who might fight Wanderlei next, if he beats him he should get Rampage granted Rampage beats Griffin.Chuck could also get a shot if he beats Shogun should be a good fight, but at this point u got the LHW division so stacked with talent it is difficult to predict with all the upsets of the recent years. As far as Vitor i`am a Vitor “The Phenom” Belfort fan but he has to came back strong and make a statment if he wants to be considered an MMA great and return to his old self. I think he can have a comeback but is going to be tough with his problems and all he went through not to mention the talented new fighters that are out there nowdays, Vitor is younger that what he looks he has been around for a while and is an old generation fighter (period from `96-`00). If the UFC allows him to return i would give him a few good fights most likely Sokodju, Bonnar, Alexander,Wanderlei and Jardine, (he won`t fight Machida cause they are training partners)i saw him in an interview were he called out Tito, he is willing to fight him for no money just pride and respect, so if Tito stays in the UFC a rematch with Vitor would be cool considering their first fight was good but ended up being very close and with contreversy. But to have him fight at 185 would be a huge cut and not a great idea even though he is not on roids no more he is still huge i seen him once at a seminar the dude is a beast even without steroids maybe if he fought at 225 it would be easier for him. Vitor can be a legend and became a champ agin if he A) Leaves all his issues and past behind him, B) Improves his cardio, C)Trains the right way with the right people which he is doing at Blackhouse in Brazil with A. Silva and Machida, and D)Starts fighting the spirit and skill he fought back in the day.

vitor back in the ufc is a good thing. he is one of the most talented fighters in the world. he went through a rough time with his sister passing away, not an easy thing to overcome. i think he is just as good as rampage in stand up. he took out wand. wand beat rampage twice. i say give him a shot. hard training & dedication anything can happen.
