Vitor is going to Knock Him Out.

He has something to prove coming back to the UFC after all these years.

Vitor is gonna take first round KO!
Didn t like franklin in his last two fights, and think that the decision should have gone to the axe murderer....

Great matchup. Looking forward to watch this fight.

This could really be something great.

My money is on Vitor. I think he'll win this in a dominant fashion.

> Two great guys. Even there
I have to root for the Bell Fort
ringing Franks bell.
Would be nice though ,think
of a Griffin Bonner type war
with a messy split decision?
Good foir audience, bad for
fighters!
Its amazing, there really are
people who don't know what
Vitor WAS! Man He was called
the "Michael Jordan" of MMA
at the start fo his career.
He went out and showed it too!
He dunked everyone, until
Randi had to spoil the parade!

i hate to admit these true feelings, but Franklin's spirit has been truly broken by A Silva. He's just finishing out his contract and trying to not get too hurt from now on. Belfort has this one in the bag. I think Rich is ready to go back to being a HS teacher and remember his accomplishments for what thy were. G-d bless the guy, but he's taken one too many on the chin. Belfort"s still got a lot to prove and that's what he's gonna do.

the thing that cheeses me off most is that i live in houston and this is the closest UFC has been since the woeful 69. i'm honestly much more interested to see who has the balls to pull out the win between swick and kampmann knowing what lies ahead for them.

This could be a great fight, but really, the main event? I'm not coughing up 50 bones on that. I'll be watching it here the next day.

I'd like to see Belfort up against some better fighters, just hope he's not passed it.

Vitor is no match for Franklin in the standup department. Only hope is GNP.

Belfort by KO 1st round! He has lost weight, is in a better mood than he was on those bad days where he put on good fights, but ran out of gas .(His sister disapeared around 5 years ago after leaving to work!) and he is at least as fast as in the old days and more trained!

I like them both but I am picking Franklin just because he is a clever fighter that will come up with a great game plan, has good stand up and ground game.

Seriously?! A dehydrated, emaciated Wand gave him more than he could handle over three rounds, and VITOR is no match for Franklin's stand-up?

Vitor shows nowhere near the footwork or punching angles of Rich Franklin. Ace will move to one side and ROCK Belfort before he knows what hit him.

I think Rich can out score Vitor, but I don't think he can KO him. On another hand i don't think that Rich can out score him the whole fight, and i think Vitor will KO him in brutal fashion eventually. I have nothing against Rich but ill be rooting for Vitor as i almost always would.
