This fight can go either way and I am kind of on the fence about it. If I had to put money down on it though my money would go on Ace. It seems like sometimes Belfort doesn't deliver and sometimes he does. Both great fighters but Franklin I think will win but I don't know how.

ok for those who say UD look at every vitor fight i havent seen a decision vitor is nuts man im so glad hes back i want him to fight anderson soon..btw when vitor got to his prime in the ufc his sister was kidnapped and murdered he just was so fucked up after that he stopped fighting for a while the new vitor likes to feel yah out then destroy you with his hands he has a good ground game decent enough for someone like rich richs standup though doesnt compare to vitor hes to quick for rich man and vitors muay thai is very good too ...srry guys and gals rich just doesnt compare to the new vitor ...and he hasnt fought nobodies they were somebodies just not in their prime teri martin was destroyed so was linland and another knockout win in pride vitor is a beast...btw randy couture is one of his trainers along with a whole arsenal of other people

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.

you dnt know much about vitor at all do you?

classic example of Technique over Power here & the benefits of having superior conditioning (Ace)...

Franklin by split decision

Belfort by KO

Never really been a fan of franklin & alwayz been intrested when ever Belfort fights, so im gonna b rootin for belfort on this 1.

And seeming Vitor's fighting at middlewight now, he gonna b even faster then he waz before!!!! im thinkin Belfort by KO 1st round !!!!!

i think ace win bye tko he break vitors knee with his face, like he tryed against silva.

> If ever it were;
"Let the better man win"
What has come here, of interest
is how I took it for granted that
everyone must know what a KO
machine Vitor was! The quintessential
"Beatem Up Boy"
Actually? I would like Vitor
to slam dunk the promoter for trying
to use these two agin one another.
(Ace can help vitor G+P the promoter)
Its so cynical. Guaranteed to cancel
one of two fighters that are top notch
reps for this sport.
Why not just have each of them go
to their end agin a bad rep?
Kind of like Coutoure and Nog.
Two, top shelf gents. Ones gotta
go.
I guess it is fair, now that I think
about what I just wrote.
So, as I started; "Let the better man
WIN"

Ughm thats how you figure out whos the best fighter...

is this actually a PPV event?..Washed up Belfort vs Rich "ill never come close to being a champion again" Franklin..wat a horrible card. It isnt as bad as the ufc 105 Couture vera main event tho..how many ass beatings can grandpa couture take before no one wants to watch?

Belfort by rear naked fisting

So I'm going to see this live in Dallas, TX. I live in Austin, a 3 hour drive away. It's not the best card ever, especially now that Swick's out, but who knows when the UFC will be back in Texas so I am going to take advantage and go to my first live event. There are some good names though on the card though: Crocop, Tyson Griffin, Koscheck, Rafeal dos Anjos, and a few more. I've heard several times that if you're a real mma fan then you have to go to at least one live event.

I was just curious, does anyone know how to keep from getting screwed when buying ufc tickets. I bought 2 tickets from Stubhub for 110 a piece, which were pretty much the cheapest I could find, then when I get the tickets in the mail they have $50.00 printed on them, which means I paid more than double what they were worth. WTF!?

I would really appreciate any advice pertaining to live events in general.
Thanks

ps. if the main event goes past the 1st round I pick Franklin

Belfort by blowout. First rounder. Franklin is becoming the new shamrock...ken that is.
