Vitor Belfort vs. Dan Henderson

[Hulk]

Two of the biggest punchers in MMA history are about to collide.

I'm pickin Belfort.


Who you got?

[VictorCharlie]

Vitor by UD. Dan simply isn't versatile enough. Although a decorated wrestler he doesn't incorporate it into his fight plan and has even be outwrestled at times. He depends too much now on eventually landing a h-bomb. While his KO power is a great equalizer he lacks the foot work, hand speed and technical striking to position himself to land it outside of goading his opponent into a slug fest. I think for Dan to be effective against the top tier of MW and LHW he needs to work on more dirty boxing a la Couture. Vitor will put on his track shoes and utilize lots of leg kicks and movement to win rounds and avoid trading with Hendo.

Two iron chinned bombers going at it.

Hendo is one of my all time favs but I'm gonna go with Belfort in this one. I know Dan beat Vitor years back but I think Vitor has really reinvented himself and is as strong as ever, and Dan seems to be on the downslide.

I think we may see history and see Dan knocked out for the first time.

[Violent Demise]

Didn't Henderson already beat a juiced up Belfort once before? I'm sure he'll do it again

[VictorCharlie]

Juiced or not that was pretty damn impressive

[Beanflicker]

Vitor is just brutal with his power.

[Violent Demise]

Juiced or not that was pretty damn impressive

Considering Henderson had never been stopped before it actually was

[VictorCharlie]

I think they both do TRT, regardless that first uppercut by Vitor straight lifted Hendo off his feet. Pretty sick power.

[beenKOed]

Explosive is the best word to describe Belfort, whether you mean him or his power. Unbelievably fast hands.
Those 4oz gloves are brutal!

Spot on.

Belfort used to be all about using his fists to stop people, now that he has added such vicious kicks, he is really a force to be reckoned with.

I did not expect a finish that early or sudden. My brother is a big Henderson fan and was pissed.
