Like I said though, it's just speculation; not sure what the reality is.

Shady.

I like it.

They did this because Sonnen is suspended for a year. Belfort is not injured. He is fighting Silva. Everybody moves up...

BTW Purple looks cute on you Yockel ;)

thank you Chris

Seems like a shady move But IF Chael is denied his rematch then I approve haha. Cause that's a fight i'd pay to see.

Anderson will fall to Belfort!

must have been belforts cheapest way of getting out of his fight contract...oh well..im pulling for the spider

Vitor is not injured. Dana has publicly verified this. Belfort vs Anderson in Jan (125). Vinny just told me about it.

Yes it can and it will. Vitor better Pray to his God that he doesnt actually get injured now. lol jks Vitor will be 100% beacause this is his time.
