He doesn't need A win over Chael to claim he deserves a title shot. He has that resume already.

Lol @ Chael saying Wanderlei ran away when it was time for the drug test. He also speculated that his career with the UFC is probably a wrap now because of it. Considering where Wandy is at this stage of the game, I wouldn't doubt it.

No need to wonder as Hendo's real age showed without it. Lower energy levels, lower strength levels, just overall slower.

Sonnen is kidding right? If he wins he gets a shot at Weidman/Machida? That's just him doing his schtick right? I can't tell anymore.

He was half kidding. He was saying that because Belfort is the #2 MW contender and the #1 contender (Machida) is fighting, that he becomes the #2 contender if he beats Belfort.

That was TRT. He needs to have a good performance against Chael at minimum. If he looks slow and tired, I think he should lose his chance.

I think he should fight Rockhold for the next shot.


Just saw fight is at 205 ??? What are you doing UFC? Chael said they didn't have enough time to do it at 185. What 205 for a #1 contender fight at 185?

That TRT **** is bs. Belfort has always had power. He wasnt on TRT when he KO'd Franklin or Akiyama.

He KO'd Bisping in the 2nd and almost Ko'd him in the first. TRT doesnt make you Leg kick KO Rockhold in the first and it doesnt make you KO Dan Henderson in the first. Does it help you train harder? Absolutely. Recover from training faster? Yes sir. But it doesnt turn you into a KO artist. Sonnen has been on TRT longer than Belfort and he hasnt come close to finishing anyone striking. Same for Ben Rothwell.

I think it would be absolute bull**** if Rockhold (whose two UFC wins are over Costa and Boestch) gets a title shot over Belfort who again....KOd him in one round.
