UFC 126 is in the books, and with it another spectacular display of Mixed Martial Arts skill from Middleweight champion Anderson Silva. Despite challenger Vitor Belfort’s experience and well-known hand speed he was simply no match for Silva’s diverse attack.
Both are Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belts, but it was a front kick to the chin in the very first round that ended the night for Belfort and added even more hype to the rumored Silva vs. GSP superfight in the works.
