Sure... I really don't like the way that Anderson fights... he disrespects his opponents (like that fight against Demian Maia) and after winning he always apologizes to his opponents. I understand that he has to promote the fights but not DURING the fight. He is arrogant and overbearing. I really don't know why I don't like Lyoto, I think it's because I'm a Shogun fan hahahaha... I hated the judges decision in that first fight between them. Wand talks too much... check his twitter (@wandfc), he asks to fight EVERYONE!!! Wand is not the same guy in Pride.

a lot of casual fans in brazil love vitor because he was famous back in the day, and dated a famous reality star and playboy playmate/brazils hottest woman. He was a huge star and basically had sex with her on tv once.

anyways, vitor has ALWAYS been much more famous than Anderson in Brazil, up until anderson recently beat him. Anderson hated vitor for that, being a rich famous playboy and such despite the fact that anderson has been the best fighter in the world for a long time. there's class/color involved as well. anyways, some people love vitor and hate anderson or hate vitor and love anderson for those reasons in brazil.

This guy overcame all the evil done to him... his sister was kidnapped and killed a few years ago... and he has never gave up! And Anderson is the opposite in some of these qualities.

It's interesting, but Vitor has always been by far the most famous MMA athlete in brazil, more than the nogs, wandy, anderson or anybody else.

i think that might also be because he was the first big brazilian star in mma that knocked mother****ers out.

I'm brazilian and I hate just three brazilian fighters... Anderson Silva, Lyoto Machida and Wanderlei Silva. My idol is Vitor Belfort! Can't wait to see him fight again... he will be back soon! Looking forward to see Vitor fighting at UFC Rio, his hometown and I'll be there! Someone else likes him?
WAR BELFORT!

It will when Diaz lies on him for 5 rounds.

If he tries to stand with him, its lights out.

Its ****ed cause Diaz appears to throw "pillow" hands but he just mauls guys the last couple years. I guarantee he will stand with Daley for a good portion of this fight and probably win it unless he gets caught.
