I remember Vitor was KO’ed trying to make the Olympic boxing team, but Anderson Silva really hadn’t done anything when he was young either, going 1-1 in the pros against club level fighters.
At least we know Anderson likely has aged much better than Belfort and shown he can hang with a washed out Chavez Jr.
The idea to these circus matches, is you need a celebrity to draw the general public interest like the Paul idiots. Silva and Belfort aren’t household names like Tyson or Jones.
I may be misremembering, but weren’t there rumors floating around prior to Belfort v Silva that Anderson used to whoop his ass in training and that Vitor was afraid of him?
