I have been watching him fight since his first UFC fight and to me he is 100% top notch.
I hate when I read on here he has no heart and people dont know what Vitor would show up.
If your sister was missing how would you do VS Tito or Randy? Put yourself in Vitors shoes and ask yourself how you would do in fight period? Or ask yourself how you would handle anything in life itself under his position?
I have a sister very ill now and it bothers me alot. Vitor is amazing and I hope I to can handle myself the way he does.
So the next time people question his heart ask yourself if you can take a fight VS anyone or let alone go through life and handle yourself the way he does.
Going through what he's going through and still being competitive at such a high level is no question something to marvel at. "The Phenom" lives up to his nick name more every day.
Ya know, I'm an off and on Vitor supporter, but to say the man has no heart,let's talk about that.
Vitor Belfort, at 19 years old, set the UFC world on it's ear. Since then he has been somewhat inconsistant for reasons that I have no way of understanding, but one thing is for sure: Vitor Belfort is a fighter. ANYBODY that has fought the guys he has,win or lose, should never be accused of not having heart. It's insulting and inappropriate.
goku, I appreciate what you contribute to this forum, but I emphatically disagree with you. Vitor may not have all the answers in the cage, but he never taps. Both fights with Randy Couture should be proof the man has more heart than sense!
Not to mention, I know it would be a bitch for me to go to training everyday when i know my sister might be missing or hurt, and your training. Just that alone proves how much heart vitor has. Showing up to fight the best fighters in the world, and train hard knowing your sister is hurting or dead. Tito pissed me off when he said vitor had no heart, then at the end of the fight he told vitor, he was a warrior and that tito and vitor were the best.
I think Belfort has a lot more skill than you'd think! He just has faced top of the food chain opponets lately. Watch when everything falls together for him, he's still young!
Adam, primo give me a call. I hear what u are saying about belfort's situation and i totally agree but i dont think anything would change in any of his fights if his sister was not misssing. Belfort is a weird dude who most likely needs medicine and he should drop down to 185 where his body frame trully belongs
The Champ im not making any excuses for the man, heck I dont even know him personally! I just say put yourself in his shoes and try to compete VS the best in the game.
Vitor isn't lacking heart, he's lacking self-discipline. The guy never seems to prepare for fights as well as he should. Given his talent, with the mind of a Randy Couture or Frank Shamrock he'd be the best fighter on the planet.
