Oh wow. I thought tonight reached its maximum potential of rawesomite. Strikeforce Challengers jumping off tonight, K-1 going down this morning, ADCC going down tomorrow morning in Spain, friggin Klitschko going down tomorrow night...now the LA Times is reporting that Anderson Silva will defend his middleweight belt against Vitor Belfort January 2nd at UFC 108. The LA Times also told us that Fedor was signed to the UFC so don't tip over any cars or start any riots just yet.

So as I was typing this, more news just came in my door, raided my kitchen and stole my bottle of Bud Light. Now the LA Times is reporting that both fighters have verbally agreed to fight in UFC 108. Wtf man. Maybe if I wait a little longer, the LA Times will tell me the meaning of life. 

Nope. Apparently waiting for the LA Times to tell me the meaning of life is a waste of life. Damnit. I wish I would have known. Now my beer is warm. If the meaning of life was to not let your Bud Light achieve room temperature, then I have failed. [Source]

this is a horrible decision for vitor.
he needs to have a top contender at MW so he can still be challenged, but at the same time, get used to the weight cut to 185. He barely made 195...

ill still be rooting for vitor.

I got Belfort with the upset. What he did to Franklin he will do to Silva 10x.

Ex-Affliction fighters are going to rule UFC

Since Franklin couldn't touch Silva how do you figure that?

Puncher's chance for Vitor, but we say that everytime. This is quickness vs quickness, and so it's down to accuracy, and Anderson has a connect rate of almost 80%.....

Vitor is hungry man. Way more hungry than Silva. He's so used to not really putting up with a fight from his opponent (Leites and Silva) that hes going to be relaxed just like Franklin was. Hes going to get caught sleeping

- Based on excitement value and just "freshness", UFC made a good decision with this match-up. The fact that Vitor is in the mix creates a 4-person playoff-style situation in the division.

- In regards to a prediction, Vitor just won convincingly so the trend of momentum will be on his side. But remember the invincible hype that surrounded Anderson after his defeat of Forrest? Hype and momentum are heavily influenced by which of the two upcoming fighters most recently won.

- Good fight for everybody, except maybe Nate and Dan.
