Re: UFC 126: Silva vs. Belfort (Feb. 5th) So stoked for this event. This is going to be absolutely sick!!! This weekend is going to involve a lot of alcohol consumption. Saturday UFC, Sunday Super Bowl. The Super Bowl is the one event where I drink way too much to where I puke. The past two years, it has happened.
Re: UFC 126: Silva vs. Belfort (Feb. 5th) damn the prelims are good enough to be a fight night card, Kid Yamamoto, Sam Stout vs Paul Kelly is gonna be a brawl... I hope some of those prelims make it on to spike

Re: UFC 126: Silva vs. Belfort (Feb. 5th) Sam Stout out, Donald Cerrone in vs. Paul Kelly due to injury. The Cowboy is coming to the UFC!
Re: UFC 126: Silva vs. Belfort (Feb. 5th) This card is really stacked. I'm pumped for it. I want to go but I also want to go see the one in Toronto. Somebody send me some money, plz. [video=youtube;j-YIrTLFwAo]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j-YIrTLFwAo[/video]
Re: UFC 126: Silva vs. Belfort (Feb. 5th) Yes! If Sonnen can rock Silva, Belfort can as well. He is a long-shot to win but not out of the fight. This fight is being billed as the fight of the century by some Brazilian media. I think Tatame. Have you heard anything much about it?
Re: UFC 126: Silva vs. Belfort (Feb. 5th) Well, I am not familiar with MMA, and I haven't heard anything in the mainstream media, but I bet people who follow the sport are pretty excited about this. Anyway, Vitor Belfort might be the most famous fighter in the country outside of the Jiu-Jitsu/MMA niche, because he participated in a type of Big Brother reality show here and then married a famous brazilian TV celebrity called Joana Prado (aka Feiticeira).
Re: UFC 126: Silva vs. Belfort (Feb. 5th) Feb. 5th can't come soon enough. I really hope all these fights deliver. I think Jones dominates Bader.
Re: UFC 126: Silva vs. Belfort (Feb. 5th) I've only been a fan for a few months and haven't had the money to buy any of the PPVs, but I think I'm gonna use some Christmas money on this one. Looks like it could be a fantastic event.
Re: UFC 126: Silva vs. Belfort (Feb. 5th) ^ Looks good so far but you should definitely get some friends over to break up the cost. $60/3 weeks is no joke, trust me.
