Hmm Dana White just announced that this is in the works. Anyone who isn't salivating right now can leave the blog. Go on, you can go read another page....
OK, for those of us wiping our chins let's carry on. The last time these 2 met was in 1998 in a fight that lasted 44 seconds and introduced the world to Vitor "The Phenom" Belfort. The stunning finish has been the highlight of his highlight reel ever since. Everyone remembers the fight, the lightening fast hands, and of course they remember Vitor but naturally his opponent wouldn't be remembered, he was another young Brazilian, Wanderlei "The Axe Murderer" Silva. His time for being remembered was still to come.
Now all these years later these two men have left a legacy of MMA behind them and neither show signs of stopping anytime soon. There were a lot of people (especially me) that picked Vitor, who hadn't lost since 2006, to finally dethrone Anderson. That didn't go down quite as anyone was expecting. Damn you Steven Seagal.....
After the loss, Wanderlei became one of the most exciting and beloved fighters in the history of MMA. And he still is. Despite more losses than wins lately he's still one of the biggest draws in the UFC because The Axe Murderer is always in there to KTFO some poor fuck. He looked sharp at middleweight against Bisping and a chance to avenge this loss to Vitor will get him fired up!
Bare in mind this isn't a done deal yet, but that's why we need to talk, tweet, blog, text and whatever else you kids do nowadays to let Dana know we think this is a fucking great idea.....
