Okay, you’ve asked for it, and here it is – my Silva vs Belfort predictions. You can read my entire Silva vs Belfort predictions online, but you can also read the summary below if you don’t have the time.
Basically, I think that Vitor Belfort will surprise anyone and K.O. Silva out. I realize that I’m going against the stream here, since most of the fans predict that Anderson Silva will win. I just think that, although Silva really has more weapons in his arsenal (no one is denying that), Belfort is a better fighter in the single aspect that matters, and this is the striking game. If Belfort manages to get into his face, he will put him to sleep, I have no doubts about it. What silva has to realize is that the way to win this fight is to keep Belfort at distance by throwing his long range punches and kicks.
