The first video shows the UFC Fight Night 23 fighters giving their predictions for the Anderson Silva and Vitor Belfort fight at UFC 126. A surprisingly large number of them like Belfort to take the middleweight title even though UFC odds have Silva as a heavy favorite at -265 while Belfort is +205.

The general consensus seems to be that Belfort just needs to land one punch for Silva to look beatable, but Silva has beaten fighters like Belfort before so I don’t really know why they think this fight will go differently.

The second video is the traditional trailer for UFC 126 where Joe Rogan and Dana White talk about the fight and both fighters talk about the fight. They also talk about the Rich Franklin and Forrest Griffin Fight. Franklin is the UFC betting favorite at -170 while Griffin is +140.

UFC 126 goes on Saturday, February 5 at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, Nevada with Vitor Belfort challenging Anderson Silva‘s dominance of the Middleweight division in a Championship bout.

Considering how long Silva has owned the UFC‘s Middleweight division, it is no surprise that he is a big favorite in UFC 126 odds paying -270 to Belfort’s +210. But, we’ve seen plenty of fighters with better odds lose in recent events and Belfort is a serious contender who has to be respected.

Vitor Belfort talks about Silva’s many strengths and suggests he is going to try to push the pace of the fight even though many fighters have tried exactly this and failed against Silva.
