“The stare down is the best part for me. I love it. What happened here today, we’re not even at he weigh ins yet! What happened here today was one of the top 10 best stare downs I’ve ever seen!”
Dana White
Wearing sunglasses and a leather coat, Anderson sat aside Dana White, while Belfort sat on Dana’s left. Alternating Portuguese and English answers, Vitor guaranteed himself to be the new fighter in the search of his third title on the organization. It’s hard to say what’ll happen, but I’ll try to do my best. Buy your pay-per-views, don’t miss it. The psychological factor affects me, so now I just go and have fun. I don’t feel any pressure. I’ll give my best, and that’s what people want.
Current holder of the title, Silva claims not to brag about it. A belt is nice, really nice, but some people only want it. But that’s just a symbol of a great event. The important for me is to be remembered as a better person than I am today .. Belfort is a great fighter, just like all guys I’ve confronted. It’ll be fun,
At the end of the press conference, the champion put the belt on his shoulders, gave two steps ahead and almost touched the nose of Vitor, that stood still, didn’t move, and returned the look.
