Anderson KOd Vitor 9 years ago today

[Goodfella86]

"A FRONT KICK TO THE FACE!!!"



Legendary moment. Vitor had a lot of mma fans convinced that Anderson was going to be KO'd.

 

[Lateralus]

Super impressive win, but calling Vitor a former LHW champion is a joke, technically yes he was but come on that should not to an "accolade" he is proud of.

 

[houjebek]

That time when Anderson Silva was unbeatable.
Good times

 

[Mondo Freaks]

Master Seagal taught Anderson and Machida that move. Or at least to kick higher and use the balls of foot.

The vitor we saw a few yrs later would have smoked this guy, put him in the dirt

 

[Superman Elbow]

I didn't even watch UFC 9 years ago today, there you have it.

Sad

 

[Super Necessary]

I don't believe nobody has mentioned Sensei Steve

 

[Taric]

No he was very lean and coming off some very decent 185 pound wins (Terry Martin, the murder of Landland) and then 195 Franklinweight then must have re-made185 since it was a title fight vs Anderson

He would eventually continue to fight at 185 as TRT form

In 2009? 2010? Whatever it was. Vitor was willing and able to fight Fedor when Josh Barnett popped hot. It was a legitimate fight that might have happened and Vitor weighed enough for the fight to be classified as a HW fight. He was huge before his fight with Anderson.

Affliction should have went along with it. Goddamn business men who probably would use a bunch of terminology i can't comprehend on why the couldn't make the fight......

They are clairvoyances who saw vitor>Hendo>Fedor

This was before young Vitor 3.0 and trtrex Vitor v 1.0

 

[revoltub]

I remember somebody made a chappelles show rick james dub of the fight. Hilarious

 

[Amorak]

People can say what they want....Fedor and Silva were the most exciting fighter's in their prime....
