#UFC #UFC30Years #UFC290 - กีฬา
Assisti com meu pai, hoje já falecido... Morávamos em um sobrado onde eu dormia no piso de cima e meus pais no piso de baixo. O finado Miguel me ligava de madrugada pra me acordar e falava "a luta já vai começar" eu descia as escadas e assistia sentado ao lado de meu pai as lutas desse período... muito bom!
Belas memórias.
Esporte gera esses momentos, valew paizão
Meu saudoso pai me fez gostar de artes marciais botando a gente para assistir o evento: Gigantes do Ringue, isso na década de 80.
Um pouco depois não perdíamos uma luta do Mike Tyson.
Sei muito bem a dor da saudade.
Meus sentimentos meu amigo.
Que boas lembranças meu amigo! Vocês vão se encontrar novamente.
@@pedrohenrique-eg9zz. Deus te ouça meu amigo.
Realmente espero por esse grande dia.
"HE FRONT KICKED HIM IN THE FACE!!!" One of the most out of nowhere KOs in MMA history
It’s insane how fast he was in his prime
Using the Teep kick like a punch is Anderson's signature.
Lyoto Machida did the same to Vitor Belfort LMFAO
@@PatricioDeLaRosamaybe Randy Couture?
Steven Segal show him that!! 😂😂😂
Nessa época ver o Anderson Silva lutar ao vivo, era como ver o Pelé jogando futebol !
Nada aver
Concordo!
Ou ver o Ronaldinho Gaúcho.
e tu viu o pelé jogando ao vivo?
@@mexxxtre Vi...ele era meu vizinho...rs!
That front kick from Anderson is legendary. My god
Just folded Vitor like a beach chair. You don't play around with a spider.
Like we said, second to none
I'm pretty sure this was the first front kick KO in UFC history.
Steven seagul taught him that haha
Especially after 3 min of nothing, just out of nowhere, damn
Crazy to think that it's been 12 years since this fight. Time flies by just like that
I remember telling everyone belfort had a legit chance lol
@@italianstalian331 he did. He clipped Anderson a few times and might have even been winning that first round
If they only knew how important calf kicks would’ve become back then.
Foreal bro
More cazy to me is that Silva since that fight lost like 8 of 9 and still considered GOAT. Absolutely crazy stuff.
Dude was out of a movie, embodiment of greatness 🐐
To me Anderson Silva will always be the best fighter in ufc history
He's good.
He is damn good for sure.. I love Jon Jones and his knee kicks as well.. So many big UFC fighters like Rampage Jackson etc has said in interviews that Jon Jones have given them permanent damage in their knees because of it.
I actually think they made that kick illegal by now.
I feel the same way. It felt like you were watching someone that was invincible. He was so far ahead of everyone in his time.
@@Shjortshe sux he lost his last like 7 fights and 2 Jake Paul but in his prime Silva had a 6 -8 year run that was so entertaining and full of 10 plus title defenses and he made it look easy. That comeback win vs Chael p Sonnen in round 5 is still top 5 greatest moments in UFC history. DEFINITELY a top fighter in his prime of all time.
Absolute rubbish! It’s a fight !! They should be allowed soccer kicks and headbutts in reality
Como foi bom ver o melhor de todos no auge. Nenhum lutador proporciona melhor entretenimento aliado a artes marciais que Anderson Silva.
Jon jones
@@lucasmuniz9 nem se compara.
pride com o wand era um ''show'' do mesmo nivel, mas nao compara com o do anderson, porque popularizou o ufc no brasil durante o prime dele..
@@lucasmuniz9que ? Kkkk esse aí é o maradona do mma, só luta cheirado.
@@Fred-yt1hzJon Jones é fera... mas pra min Anderson silva ainda é um pouco superior, apesar que discutir quem é melhor entre JJ e Spider é o mesmo que discutir quem é melhor, Ronaldinho Gaúcho ou Ronaldo fenômeno...
Prime Silva was something to behold. You never knew what you were going to see. What a time! 🕷️🕸️
CORINTHIANS
Incrível foi o Anderson estar no shopping duas horas antes da luta e avisar para o Minotouro que ele venceria com esse chute.
parece muito difícil defender esse chute
@@erician5005 parece? o cara nem vê de onde vem kkkkkkk
Um golpe simples da nossa capoeira, o cara dominava muito bem o boxe e quando juntava isso a copeira... Olhe o resultado.
@@Luga.333é um golpe simples que tem em qualquer arte marcial muito usado no taekwondo inclusive q o anderson ja foi praticante
Na verdade, O Spider treinou por muito tempo com o Belfort, Ele sabia que o ponto fraco do Vitor era a movimentação monótona. Ele fica parado, tirando o pe da frente do chao toda hora...
Pode olhar no vídeo, O Spider n tirava os olhos dos pés do Vitor. Ele esperou o momento certo e quando o Vitor tirou o pé do chão, ele aplica o chute frontal.
O vitor nao consegue desviar por isso. O Lyoto Machida usou a mesma estratégia e o resultado foi igual.
Esse é o defeito desse otario q e o Vitor Belfort 😂😂😂😂😂😂
3:14 Silva’s ability to duck Vitor’s punch from the bottom was awesome and something most people probably overlooked
I didn’t see it
It’s rite after the takedown as it happened, off Silvia’s back he dodged
@@JLD5500Just as Vitor takes takes down Silva and swings with his right, Silva dodges it. Really slick and smooth
Yea I always felt the same way when I first saw that. Critical evasive maneuver. Imagine how things would’ve changed if he landed that
Yeah people forget that dodge
GOAT! These new fans just don't understand! So grateful I got to witness his prime live! Look at how fast and out of nowhere he lands that kick. He was so unpredictable and could end the fight in the blink of an eye at any moment and his opponents knew it. Such a special talent.
I witnessed it too man. 16 fight win streak with 14 finishes.. only 2 decisions in that span. Just absurd. He was knocking everyone out or submitting them
He is the goat. There are so many greatsf but people who have watched his career know, there has never been anyone like him.
Facts! @@dj007j6
@@dj007j6yeah tell me about it, this guy would either get a highlight real sudden ko win or literally turn into the matrix and toy with his opponent than knock them out highlight reel style, than he had some serious knees in the clinch and even could submit elite grapplers if he had to. Newer fans truly don’t realize how much better Anderson Silva was than Izzy could ever dream of being. Like I said the matrix.
Of course. But we're not so "old school" just for being fans at that time.
No one before or after has made MMA look effortless the way the Spider did. He only needed the smallest opening to get the most creative and spectacular finishes. 🐐
@@beaualoevv booooring 🥱🥱🥱🥱
Just Anderson noticing a pattern in the opponents eye movement can end the night for an unsuspecting Vitor Belfort. He sees you looking for one thing and throws you the other out of your line of sight. K.O.
Let the casuals call Jon the GOAT. Real ones know who the greatest mixed martial artist is.
@@connerp6878Jon Jones. Silva ain’t even over GSP, n only children throw around the word “casual” because someone has a different opinion. the GOAT wouldn’t get put out by a wrestler in the standup game 😅
GSP is so boring
Silva is absolutely deadly. Vitor is 2000% top level and that Silva caught him this way illustrates how crazy deadly Silva is.
Y’all don’t understand why this kick is so legendary! Silva was on a tear and belfort was the only hype train to derail Anderson at the time! The hype was real because everyone knew belfort could hang! And then this RANDOM karate kick comes outta nowhere and ends the phenoms night! Both are great champs
Hate to be that guy, but I'm sure everyone knows this. lol
CORINTHIANS
Galatians@@williamcastro950
That's a front kick. And it's Thai not Karate. But I agree with the rest of your post!
@@chrisp-uk1wo Actually it is a Karate kick
Can we all appreciate Steven Segal for teaching Anderson that kick 😂
Silva gave a merit for the kick to Seagal later at the locker room.
Maybe also you saw the video where Seagal helped Silva to refine the front kick and prompt to use it.
Although, a couple years later Silva got tired for Seagal always take too much merit for his winnings, and cut off their relations.
CORINTHIANS
Such a legend🤣
Dude didnt even get up of the chair to teach him that. Legend.
0:28 “yellow trunks for the black” omg I’m dying 😂😂😂💀💀💀
yellow trucks with the black for Anderson Silva
3:13 O Anderson é tão sensacional que ele percebe que o Vitor iria dar um soco e, ele caindo, se esquiva e já vai se levantando na mesma hora, SEN-SA-CIO-NAL
Crl, é mesmo. O cara no auge não tinha pra ninguém. Eu vi ao vivo suas lutas 😊
Tu é mano?
Em câmera lenta fica espetacular
O cara esquiva até no chão rs
Sen-sa-ci-o-nal*
3:13 - Essa esquiva que o Anderson deu foi uma das mais lindas que já vi no UFC. Claramente o Vitor Belfort já estava comemorando o nocaute mentalmente.
Doideira,😮 devia até contar como ponto.
Verdade...
Pra vcs verem o nível que o Anderson Silva estava, essa lapada se pega era K.O. na hora, tela azul do Windows! 😂
Mas o Anderson conseguiu antever esse movimento em fração de segundos, sem contar que na trocação o Vitor Belfort era claramente mais explosivo que o Anderson Silva, mas o spider tinha uma esquiva lvl 9999999
Foi linda !
Se tem algo bonito de ver é esquiva neh impressionante
Izzy would have no chance against this Silva
Even in round 2 of their fight Anderson made it competitive, but sadly Father Time took his athleticism. Prime Silva would’ve killed Izzy badly it’s not even close
Anderson Silva contou a história dessa luta ontem no Podcast Flyo.. Vitor Belfort treinava na mesma academia,, ele foi pra lá mas a maioria não via com bons olhos a ida dele pra academia,, Minotouro convenceu a galera aceitar o Vitor.. Na academia eles tinham um trato de Honra, que ninguém lutaria um contra o outro sendo da mesma academia.. Vitor Belfort rasgou essa regra,, e aii ficou um climao.. Anderson treinava com Vitor e mapiou 101% tudo do Vitor, até suas expressões e cada movimento,e falou que o Vitor não teria a mínima chance de vencer ele.. Spider foi um dos melhores de todos os tempos, assistir as Lutas dele era igual vê Ayrton Senna, Pelé e a Seleção com Romário Ronaldo e Bebeto... Ao meu ver, Anderson Silva tava no topo no auge, Vitor Belfort tentou achou que iria roubar esse lugar ganhando a luta kkkkkk, mais tomou um Nocaute dos mais lindo da História.. Anderson Silva a lenda....
ELE TEM QUE CONTAR A HISTÓRIA da surra que levo e saiu com a perna quebrada 😂😂😂😂😂
@@alexandrevasconcelos7954não era o auge dele né! Já estava tiozão. Corpo capenga!

"OHHHHH!!! HE FRONT KICKED HIM IN THE FACE!!!"
- Aristotle, 340 B.C.
This guy was defining, and redefining what MMA was and could be, right in front of our eyes. He was truly one of those guys who did things that seemed like they could only be done in MMA.
People just don’t understand how good silva was in his prime. Nobody has ever had an aura like him where the opponent was already beaten before they even got to the cage.
He was special.
The MW goat
Facts
I wonder if he could've been champion at light heavyweight if he decided to move up
@@patcisz3474Before Jon Jones, sure. But during Jon’s reign, no.
@@King-ws7su you don't think prime Silva could beat Jones?
@@patcisz3474 As great as Silva was, no. Jones is just so good at utilizing his range and his wrestling is topnotch. Silva was minutes away from losing to Sonnen, who 1) is smaller than Jones, and 2) isn’t as good a wrestler as Jones. I think Jon’s size - height and reach - and his wrestling would’ve given Silva problems.
O melhor foi a humildade do Anderson Silva depois em ir ver como o Victor estava.
Nenhum lutador entregou tanto qnto o Anderson no auge! Dia de luta dele, era um evento pra mim!
Eu era adolescente na época, e esse cara era assunto tanto quanto o Ronaldinho para o futebol. Anos de ouro
Verdade
ill never forget this kick
vitor won't either
CORINTHIANS
Nesse tempo, parar para ver o Anderson lutar, era como assistir Ayrton Senna aos domingos de manhã, Ronaldo fenômeno na seleção, todo brasileiro gostava de assistir UFC nesse ano
Verdade
Menos, cara.
Tinha uma galera que não curtia o Anderson. Não tem comparação Anderson com Ayrton Senna... Ayrton Senna era adorado por homens, mulheres, crianças, avós. Ayrton Senna tinha um alcance muito maior de público.
Exatamente
@@douglasdasvirgens8635 mano, quem não gostava do Anderson Silva só podia ser de fora e não brasileiro, pq todo brasileiro amava ver Anderson Silva, ele era o melhor do Brasil e continua sendo o maior do Brasil
Almost brings a tear to my eye. Such a significant moment in UFC and MMA history.
Prime Silva is the greatest fighter ever to have entered the Octagon. No debate.
his prime was special but Jones just did it against stiffer competition imo
@@johnnyboy8560can't really blame Silva for that he only could fight with who was available at the time. The fight that could've and probably should've been made is Silva vs GSP
@@patcisz3474 sure it’s not his fault middleweight has always been a pretty depleted division and he would’ve been game to fight anyone he even fought DC. But I just don’t think Silva could’ve gone through the gauntlet of competition that Jones went through. It would take like 10 mins to rattle off all the contenders he smashed
Silva and GSP
@@johnnyboy8560 Fighters were much better back then
That's a true martial artist right there, that was literal art
Luta incrível, tensa.
O Belfort estava muito bem nessa luta, bem condicionado, rápido, forte, se a mão pegasse era nocaute. Anderson Silva incrível, um verdadeiro artista, o chute veio de um filme.
Ambos os lutadores estavam de parabéns, foi um verdadeiro show.
Vc pode ver que Vitor lança muitos golpes perigosos, mas ele consegue se esquivar de todos. Reflexo e agilidade impressionante
Realmente, Vitor tava bem, se Vitor acertasse um, ele caia!! Mas os dois são fodas dms, qualquer que ganhasse tava foda dms já.
Comentário sensacional irmão ! Vejo muita gente dizendo q o Anderson humilhou o Victor e não é bem isso que vejo nessa luta , se um desses golpes entra o Anderson apagava , mas de fato ele foi mais feliz e mereceu a vitória
Anderson tinha a esquiva foda
o anderson silva disse que treinava mil chutes desse por dia p acertar no vitor..se nao fosse isso ele disse que não ganharia,ou seja luta também é estrategia
Prime Silva was something we will never see again
Did you know Steven seagal teached him that kick?
Stylebender is kibda like
@@hiruyabebaw7140Back in the days yes
Nowadays he is something different
More like the Floyd Mayweather of MMA
CORINTHIANS
@@pandapants3535He didnt teach it...That kick is in Taekwondo, Muay Thai,Karate, Capoeira..etc and Silva trained all of these martial arts...Steven just told him to raise his knee a bit more before the kick cuz it made more unpredictable.
The greatest middle weight of all time
This is still the greatest knockout in the history of the UFC.
Welcome to the Hall of Fame, GOAT. Long overdue.
We also want the Anderson vs Forest Griffin
Was that Mario Yamasaki? Kind of an early stoppage for him.
😂
Mario "if there's a pulse, there's a fight" Yamasaki.
Actually a great stoppage by him
Only the OGs remember Mario "if he dies he dies" yamasaki and Herb "I didn't see it" Dean
@oFaTaLMiStAkEo nah everyone that's a big fan knows because of memes
What a perfectly timed and placed front kick to the face, that's was pretty much all I was waiting for when I clicked on this video
The efficiency of movement here @4:10 is incredible. Zero wasted motion…
Essa luta ilustra a beleza das artes marciais...só quem realmente gosta, pode apreciar.
At the time there was never a headkick knockout that devastating. Every modern day headkick gets compared to this, shows how good it was
Do you mean front kick knockout? Cause there where plenty of devastating head kick knockouts before this
CORINTHIANS
It's crazy to think that Vitor gave Jones trouble but Anderson made light work of him.
I remember just turning 16 and this being the first UFC ppv my mum ever ordered for me, to say this left an impression on me is an understatement. Silva will always be my GOAT
Most iconic KO for me , vintage Anderson Silva performance
Im all for these classics, LFG
Pay attention to Anderson’s left leg kicks in past fights always circling to the left too, Vitor eventually tries to check the kick with his right leg going up and gets caught with the front kick instead. Brilliant setup by the GOAT.
Essa é a maior luta de mma entre brasileiros da história no ufc, o hype foi enorme en 2011. Lenda x lenda, final épico com esse chute no queixo do vitor
Mas não a melhor
CORINTHIANS
Essa luta aí parou o Brasil
@@MatheusPires-hx5jtlembro de ter muitos fogos todo o bairro aqui parou para assistir
Anderson Silva era uma lenda, um show man
Remember playing the UFC game with this on the cover.
Uma obra de arte esse nocaute e logo no Vitor Belfort que é um dos maiores lutadores do ufc e do mma
O nocaute de Anderson sai em um lutador que é um nocauteador
Que loucura,que momento do esporte
Isso foi mágico, foi capa de jogo.
Eles treinava junto, inclusive esse chute
CORINTHIANS
FLAMENGO
Fight IQ here from Silva is crazy. He saw Belfort had good reaction/response times, loaded up his nervous system with feints and that meant the front kick got through. Similar to GSP vs Penn
Maybe you missed it, but Silva looked down (legs/body) before sending that crazy kick.
I sat at a Buffalo wild wings for hours waiting on this fight and my god it didn't last long but it was worth it.
That kick honestly made my jaw drop
"I showed Anderson that front kick." Steven Sea-gull
Não acompanhei Pelé, mas acompanhei Senna, Ronaldo e Spider, acredito que esses caras tinham algo em comum, justamente pelo entusiasmo em assitir suas performances.
The man literally knocked the other guy out cold while standing on his toes.. that’s some ninja shit right there 👍
Seen it 100 times but goddamn is that kick fast! Even when you know it’s coming you can barely see it
A estratégia de Anderson Silva ao encaixar o chute num lutador como o Belfort que é excelente no boxe foi sensacional. O Vitor se mostra muito confiante na luta em pé e mal espera o chute bem encaixado que finaliza a luta.
Ele disse q foi o Seagal q falou pra ele mandar um chute mirando no queixo, era mt difícil de esperar isso
@@treyon170 realmente quando você vê o tipo do chute que foi aplicado é muito difícil de prever.
Estratégico demais, se fosse de outra forma para o combate, capaz que dava ruim
Época que o MMA rompeu todas as bolhas possíveis
During the fight before Anderson Silva's fatal front kick, the one attacking the most was Vitor Belfort. It's a shame there wasn't a rematch, it would be great Anderson Silva vs Vitor Belfort part 2! Epic and historic fight!
I’ve watched this fight numerous times and only just noticed silva looking at the legs before sending the kick, you almost can’t see it in the replay angle.
This is the guy that made me interested in this sport
Vitor começou melhor, só que o inesperado aconteceu, um chute espetacular do Anderson! Um maiores nocautes que vi no MMA!
An absolute master of his art. I’m glad I had the privilege of watching his career play out.
Belfort foi 1 dos melhores lutadores que vi lutar!
It’s finishes like this that made Anderson Silva terrifying. He was so unpredictable.
I remember those days of Anderson in his Prime. He was untouchable.
Saudades dos anos de ouro do UFC!!!!
The misdirection Anderson used is outstanding : he made Vitor check a leg kick. Brilliant.
That's the best Yamasaki stoppage probably of all time !
The "phenom" has always been my favorite. Loved when he split Marven Eastman's head in half.
O respeito entre os dois nesta luta é nitido🙏.
Pois é, o trash talk era tudo parte do show e pra inflar bolsa. Não sei pq depois o Belfort ficou todo remoído nas declarações sobre essa luta e até quando o Anderson quebrou a perna (são ossos do ofício disse ironicamente na época). O outro lá, o Sonnen ficou no trash talk, cabô a luta acabou a rivalidade, até fizeram evento juntos relembrando e rindo das provocações da época.
E se Vitor ganhasse duvido que faria o que Anderson fez com o cinturão.
@@miqueinhamgtow2961faltou maturidade ao vitor
@@miqueinhamgtow2961 o Anderson é um exímio lutador, mas ele é muito forçado, a arrogância dele é nítida, zero humildade isso sim.
@@mateusrichard8691Arrogância nada, isso é estratégia para tirar o foco do adversário. Ele mesmo disse isso, faz parte do espetáculo
Perfect example of why they were so cautious fighting Silva, amazing KO.
Com todo respeito aos outros lutadores, do passado e do presente, mas o Spider foi o melhor lutador de MMA da história.
Watching this live on tv was awesome.
LEGENDARY KO
The Silva Era was something else. No other fighter has ever SEEMED as absolutely invincible and untouchable as a prime Silva. He was SEVERAL levels above everyone for like 5 years. Every one of his fights was a foregone conclusion: Silva wins, and he wins whichever way he wants.
A lot easier when u are fighting low grade fighters. This was Vitor before TRT Vitor. It's still an impressive win but besides that his good wins are
1. Yushin Okami
2. Chael Sonnen (who dominated him in first fight)
3. Thales Leites (sits on the mat)
4. Demian Maia (sits on the mat)
5. Dan Henderson
6. Josh Koscheck
7. Rich Franklin (math teacher)
8. Chris Leben (bar fighter)
9. Forrest Griffin (kind of alright)

@@jr5993That's just where the game was at that time. You cant fight dudes that dont exist lol. Silva was just waaaaaaay ahead of his time.
My hero. The spider. Anderson Silva made me love mma and the ufc. Such a legend!
That front kick was so fast and precise wow
nunca vai existir outro capaz de fazer o que esse cara fez. e é do brasil!
viva o rei!
Victor not engaging all that time completely back fired on him LOL Silva got a good and long enough look and found that opening for the front kick. I remember this live when at the time Silva was my favorite fighter it was beyond insane in the moment
I mean. Would you strike first against prime Anderson? That's terrifying
@bennygaray46 No, but I am not a professional fighter that was skilled enough and earned a chance to fight for the Championship. Yes, he was though and I understand why he did not because even at that level Anderson was levels ahead
Silva was counter striker
@xavierb9061 Yes but he was more than that. He was a great counter striker which was even stated in this video but he was also just an all time great striker in general offensive and defensively. You are right but I don't get why you said that to my original comment? Yes he was but all I said was in all that time seeing Victor's stances, guard, movements, sizing up etc he found a great opening and opportunity and timed the front kick perfectly. It could have been a part of the game plan from watching footage coming into the fight but regardless he found the opening and timed it perfectly.
Everything Silva did was very calculated. Even when he goofed around. I don't think everyone understood that. It didn't always look pretty but there's a reason why a phenom like Belfort was very timid
GOAT skillset.
Has some of the highest level hands, kicks, knees, elbows, footwork, head movement, timing, shot selection, fight IQ, etc. in the game.
He’s the perfect create a character - a long, precision & timing based counterstriker, with top tier takedown defense, and an offensive and dangerous guard as a last walk of defense if he does get taken down.
This KO is a thing of beauty. He stays patient, making reads and setting traps early. Uses his feints and movement to control/increase the pace of the fight, then finds the moment to lull Vitor to sleep for just a split second, & rips a wildcard of a front kick out of absolutely nowhere. Stays composed, follows him down, gives him 2 precise shots to the dome to finish it off.
Anderson a GOAT. His legacy tarnished by the PED stuff as well as him staying too long and going on a bad losing streak. Some will say he didn’t have the greatest strength of schedule, but many didn’t in those times, and he still has name like Rich Franklin, Dan Henderson, Vitor Belfort, Chael Sonnen, Forest Griffin, etc, in his resume.
After watching todays fighters, you come back and see the fluidity & finess of a guy like Anderson and it makes you wonder how things would be different had he been in his prime today. His timing, accuracy, shot selection, footwork, feints, and composure were truly something else. This knockout still stands as one of the absolute most sick knockouts of all time.
Chega arrepia, que saudades de ver o mestre lutando 🕷
Crazy head movement from Silva the entire fight
INSANE AHEAD OF HIS TIME THIS WOULD BE ALWAYS LEGENDARY
That kick was so hard it made the camera glitch for a second 😂😂😂😂
Anderson Silva: O MAIOR de todos os tempos no MMA . Que chutaço , que finalização ! Vc é o cara . 🇧🇷
Wow, am I wrong or did he beautifully set that up with those two high roundhouse kicks that Vitor dodged? He got the correct read on him and went for a front kick instead, which landed squarely where Vitor was moving his head.
Props to silva who shows great restraint in not pouncing on his incapacitated opponent and also thinks to check on him immediately after.
This was the kick that made me fall in love with mma and UFC, thanks spider🕷️🕸️
That was insane. You almost forget how good Silva was. That was a big bang. First there was nothing. Then, all of a sudden ...
O início da luta foi bem chato: os dois se analisando sem se atacar. Mas o final foi épico. Que chute inesperado e certeiro!😎👊🏻
joes reaction to that kick is hillarious . he was a taekowondo guy and thats a rare knock out move
Pelé, Airton Sena, Anderson Silva e Ronaldinho Gaúcho: LENDAS.
@0:25 “White trunks for belfort… yellow trunks for the black… uh FOR ANDERSON SILVA 😅”
Quem pegou essa epóca sabe muito bem que pra nascer outro igual, ou similar vai demorar muito ainda. Nem o izzy amassa os caras assim. Maior peso médio do UFC.
The accuracy of the two follow up shots is insane
Most fighters go all in when the opponent gets rocked. Anderson has always been modest and usually doesn't even follow up when he thinks he got the ko. In this fight he lightly tagged him because it looked like he was getting up.
Nessa noite foi emoção dentro e fora da tela ķkkk. Eu tava assistindo esse combate numa churrascaria , aí um dos clientes apostou dinheiro com outro cara , no belfort . Quando o Anderson nocauteou 😂, ele falou que tava "brincando " que não tinha apostado de verdade... Mas o outro indivíduo não aceitou a desculpa e 😂, foi um tumulto na churrascaria 😅😅😅😅, briga ...
