UFC 126: Silva vs. Belfort – Preview & Guest Panel Picks:







Bonus Guest Panel Picks:

Josh Barnett - "Both fighters are tremendous strikers and certainly either fighter can get the KO in this case on the feet. That said, while Belfort has greats hands, speed and angles I think Silva is the better more dynamic fighter in this clash. Where Vitor wins or loses this fight is in his wrestling and whether or not he can implement it successfully. This is important even if he intends to KO Silva, keeping Silva off balance will allow him to land that shot.

Silva needs to be all about footwork and angles. Even a couple slow rounds on the feet would benefit Silva in the long run in working on Belfort's gas tank and setting tone and rhythm for the fight. His often under utilized kicking prowess could do him well in this fight coupled with his great use of evasion and reach."


George Roop - "I think Anderson Silva will retain the title."
