    the relevance is that any challenge vitor has put against him besides d class fighters he will lose guaranteed and his win over sexyama was a fluke, imo it was a flash knockout.

    yea well now your just trying to predict the future so im kinda arguing with a dude living in fantasy world, the jon jones hype train and all of his ZUFFA hype is ending when UFC 135 rampage either will knockout jones or will lose via UD. Time to test that glass chin of jon jones.

    I think Belfort has the most lethal hands in MMA, Anderson has the most technical Muay Thai in all of MMA tho & his punches likely have more technique than Belfort`s but Vitor`s are so powerful & explosive.

    If both guys were only allowed to punch as opposed to punch, kick, knee, elbow & clinch, I think Belfort would get the better of Silva, personally... he`s just too much of a `hot & cold` fighter, shame really because when he`s on hot form he is brilliant to watch.

    Irrelevant. Anderson did not allow himself to get pummelled for 23 and a half minutes on purpose. If you believe that you're living in a fantasyland.

    I ask again - what exactly is the relevance of these comments to my assertion that Vitor Belfort does not have a weak chin? :huh

    I think Jones is overhyped as well, and I'm not a big fan of his at all.

    But stylistically, neither Anderson, Rashad nor Rampage have much of a chance against him.

    Had Silva been injury-free, the fight would have been very different - I believe he would've knocked Sonnen the **** out. :deal

    But, it's not only that one fight where Silva's defensive wrestling has been poor.

    Travis Lutter anyone? :think

    Jones would be able to take down Silva whenever the **** he wanted.

    I respectfully disagree.

    I think Jones is beatable, I too think he has flaws, I just don't think Anderson is the right fighter to uncover them.

    Is Sonnen really the only fight you've ever seen where Anderson looked pretty easy to take down? Really? :think

    I'll hold you down and pound on you for 23 and a half minutes before you'll find the motivation to unleash this secret move. :D
