    None and so what Shogun has never submitted a Heavyweight neither since Randleman was at 205 and it took him a long ass time to finish him. Shoguns MMA Jiujitsu credentials are no more impressive then Belforts.

    Yeah his performence vs Lindland showed everyone hes still a Phenom and a big threat at 185. Id just be scared to see Silva and Belfort fight because both arent very agressive unless they are countering so we could see a pose fest.

    Well your acting like Shogun is leaps and bounds above Belfort and Ortiz in BJJ and that is silly theres nothing at all that points to that if you said better striker then id say yeah no doubt but Shoguns guard which is what started this is no more dangerous then Tito or Vitor.

    It would be the best fight ever because they are probably two of the best stand up guys in the sport, I am going to give Silva more points for skills, and Belfort more points for power and speed, both guys are good enough to beat everyone accept for Henderson on the ground, the only real advantage i see is Belfort with take down defence but Silva is an innovator. if i had a few million cash spare i would make my own promotion so i could make this fight happen.

    despite the fact that shogun moves better on the ground than either of them and goes for alot more subs, belfort may have a legit blackbelt but hardly ever goes for subs and tito is a good grappler but is not a good sub fighter.
