Anderson Silva By the Numbers: A Legacy in Progress | UFC ® - News

2. Anderson Silva vs. Vitor Belfort

Going into their fight at UFC 126, Anderson “Spider” Silva was ready to give Vitor Belfort everything he had. In the buildup to the fight, we saw Silva show his anger towards Belfort for taking the title fight even after previously trained with each other. Silva has always stated that he wouldn’t fight a teammate and considered Belfort to be one. At the stare down before the UFC Middleweight Title fight, Belfort was all business, while Silva donned a mask. When they met inside the Octagon, it took a few minutes for them to feel each other out, but it was Silva that landed a miraculous front kick to get the win.
