Hey, Just read this over at Sherdog. Anthony "Rumble" Johnson is now making the move to Middleweight and will face Vitor Belfort at UFC #142 in Rio. www.sherdog.com/news/news/Rumble-Moves-to-Middleweight-Faces-Belfort-in-Rio-at-UFC-142-36857I think this is a very interesting fight and I'd love for it to be a stand-up WAR. You never know though. Belfort could play it safe and take Rumble down and either pound him out or submit him there. I'm lookin' forward to this one for sure.

Belfort, play it safe?
If some one in this fight wrestles, it will be Rumble.

Belfort, play it safe? If some one in this fight wrestles, it will be Rumble. Well, seeing as he got KO'd on his feet against Anderson Silva, I just thought he might play it safe in this one and try for a takedown. Belfort ain't no dummy. He knows full-well Johnson has brutal KO power and could catch him, if he decides to stand and bang with him. You never know how it will play out. It'll be a good one, that's for sure.

rumble cuts like 50 pounds to get to welter, so this is great for him in that regard, especially since he missed weight a couple times as far as i remember. that said... hes nowhere near the fighter vitor is. rumble has enough hand power that if he catches him with one really exquisite punch, hes got a shot... but to stand there and trade, he wont last long.

Stop smoking crack. Vitor is not taking Rumble down.
