UFC on FX 8: Belfort vs Rockhold Live
The next #1 contender for Anderson Silva’s middleweight title will
likely be decided in Brazil on May 18th when four of the top ten ranked
185′ers in the world do battle live on FX.
Perennial UFC headliner Vitor Belfort will look to improve to a
perfect 4-0 at middleweight (counting the fight where he made weight,
and Anthony Johnson did not) since losing to Anderson Silva the first
time around. All things considered, you’d have to believe that’s more
than enough for ‘The Phenom’ to get another shot at ‘The Spider’.
Especially if he can best the final Strikeforce middleweight champion,
Luke Rockhold.
Saturday May 18 9PM/6PM ET/PT
Belfort vs Rockhold Live
Coming off wins over ‘Jacare’ Souza,
Tim Kennedy, and UFC castaway Keith Jardine – Luke Rockhold is finally
ready to enter the Octagon – and he does so as a major threat to be the
one to dethrone the greatest champion mixed martial arts has ever seen.
Before he gets the chance to take on Silva though he must get past a man
who is no stranger to ruining other men’s title aspirations. Just ask
Michael Bisping. Rockhold will have to put on a career defining
performance to take out Belfort in front of thousands of screaming
Brazilian fans urging him on to victory.
Speaking of ‘Jacare,’ the gator crawl extraordinaire will make his
long-awaited Octagon debut in the co-main event of the evening against
red hot Serra-Longo product, Costa Philippou. While Souza is likely
never to face Silva due to the two being on the same team it’s no secret
that he has been pining for a rematch with Rockhold, the only man to
defeat him under the Strikeforce banner. A win for Philippou on the
other hand puts him right in that proverbial mix of potential future
champions in a division that hasn’t seen a new one since 2006.
