Vitor Belfort vs. Anthony Johnson Fight Video UFC 142 Rio Co-Main Event

Yay!! Vitor won!!!! He’s relevant again!

Right on, Vitor! The support of the crowd was electric!

vitor looked awesome

Great to see Vitor win. Maybe Rumble will now go back and pretend to be a welterweight again, what a douche.

Glad Vitor won. How much did Rumble weigh today cause he was 211.6 pounds 3 hours before the fight.

AJ needs to rethink how serious he is about this sport. Let’s see if he gets fired or not.
Anyway, great victory for Belfort! Wanderley has his work cut out for him.

rumble f***** this one up. he had him hurt with that big right hand but didnt follow it up. also he needs to learn to posture of like king mo and drop some bombs. keeping your head close to a guys chest doesnt do s*** for you. watch old sakuraba, posture up and drop bombs. if u are postured up there is no way in the world they can submit u. how do u avoid the triangle, posture up, how do u avoid the armbar, posture up, how do u drop bombs, posture up. simple is as simple does

Wow, great for vitor but man i wanted johnson to win and be a serious contender. I was definately upset about the weight as many others. And the ref, what was up with standing them up after 15 seconds?

Fixed.

rumble was tired, he n his coaches f***** ds 1 up bad might just cost him his job. bigups to vitor for accepting the fight event thou he was 211

To me it looked like there might be something to the medical condition angle Johnson was playing. He came out looking for a single strike KO, his takedown attempts and scrambles were way off as were his haymaker punches and kicks. That is not the way he fights. Anyone else inferring that, or is it just me?

love that crowd! so much energy! love you Brazil! grats on a good night. don’t worry we got pleny of ass woopins comin your way.

Anyone else think the quick standups were just ridiculous!!!! And wtf was the deal with AJ he should be ashamed of the condition he came into this fight. In the grand scheme of things this fight was pretty meaningless

quick standup’s it was like dana told the ref not to like AJ get any position to win this fight. Aj would have won if the ref didnt bs him on the ground to take some of vitors gas out

This is why Manny Paqcrap makes all of his opponents sign no rehydration clauses, Manny fought De La Hoya when De La Hoya was on an IV before going into the ring; it’s a great advantage to dehydrate your opponent. Floyd Mayweather allows all of his opponents to rehydrate in fact Floyd fought Carlos Baldimir when Carlos weighed 170LBS in the ring and Floyd was 137LBS. Obviously Johnson wasn’t himself it’s his own fault for not simply stepping up in weight.

Wow, what bullshit 2 stand-up only 10 seconds after Rumble takes Vitor Belfort down! Personally, I thought that Belfort might have won eventually, but I hated to see Rumble get cheated.

Say what you will about AJ not making weight but when you cheat a fighter you screw with their record, their money, their livelihood, and their legacy. Has anyone seen 2 quicker stand-ups and a clinch break-up along the cage? Keep in mind the entire fight was only 4:49 into the first round.

Hits to the back of the head much?

good fight…hope AJ get his s*** together..missing the weight did him no good

And the title of Biggest Waste of Talent goes to…Rumble Johnson! What a dip$#!t. Easy, easy, EASY “W” for Anthony, but a dip$hit will be a dip$hit. Props to Vitor for the finish, though I think even Gray Maynard could have finished off Rumble, as exhausted as he was. ♠

ooops one more thing, if Dos santos has taught anyone anything, it is if you don’t want to give up that base and sprawl yet to these guys like to dip their heads constantly for takedown attempts the uppercut is just as nice a knee in most cases with the exception of exposing your head instead of exposing your base. Good thing vitor started to recognize this halfway into the round. Too bad fedor couldn’t, wouldn’t, tends not to like to throw uppercuts or that Bigfoot fight may have been different. And no that doesn’t mean Fedor wouldn’t have lost to other fighters, just may have changed that fight.
And Victor did give some shots to the back of the head but everyone kind of does it when someone has gotten dropped and the flurry comes, ie prater and silva. Up to the ref to pull them apart to reset or take a point away. Bones uses his reach and extends fingers (sometimes in the eyes of opponents) for even more reach sometimes but what are you gonna do. You have to either deal with it it make the refs more aware, whatever. FIGHT!!!!!

Everyone needs to stop crying like little girls about the weight. Its not that big of a deal. Heavy weights fight all the time with 10, 20, 30 pound differences. Vitor weighed 186, AJ weighed 197… before the fight there was only a 5 pound difference. So who really gives a s***. Dana White told the ref to make AJ pay for being disrespectful not making weight, so anytime AJ was on top.. ref would stand’em up. Piss Dana off and you will lose the fight one way or another. Yea, and thats Vitor’s trademark, back of the head baby. Again disrespect Vitor by not making weight… and he’ll bash the back of your nappy in.

AJ never had a chance in this life or any other one for that matter, his contract is about to be cut anyways.. @ Alex yes there were some rabbit hits, but how much did he weigh again? 230 cut to 216 then when he was 204.6 they had to give him tons of fluid and he barley made lhw this was a MW 185 fight, he got what he deserved and he did land one shot on Vitors left eye, too bad he isnt Tyson Griffin

guys AJ is a sick striker to assume that Vitor had an advantage standing is rediculious! It is BS that they would stand them up so quick, Vitor was going to go for a submission and they were stood up!. How did the fight end anyway? on the ground, vitor style!

victor won but johnson was knackered you could tell he could not have went 3 rounds he wanted to finish early he was falling over himself i wanted victor to win but johnson needs help might as while pill weight on nd move up again

seriously this Johnson guy looks a lot tougher than he actually is.

All u homos protecting AJ for being overweight saying is no big deal ur a bunch of idiots… DO u know whow hard it is to cut weight, diet, etc to meet a specific goal..its hard work….so for the other dumb ass to get to eat better, suffer less through training, etc, and get a free pass??/ WTF…AJ is lucky he got to fight! he didnt come in 1-2 pounds over, he came in 12 lbs over! In boxing thats 2 weight classes! Thats a huge advantage! So Im glad he was sucking wind and dehydrated…thats what he gets for being unprofessional.
