I will be watching Ultimate Chaos tonite via streaming media. Actually looking forward to seeing what Tom Atencio can do in the ring (he's the VP of Affliction).

Should be interesting if nothing else.

Atencio didn't look bad at all but I don't know about the stoppage. That was uber-weak. We need Atencio vs. Dana.

Chris "The Polish Hammer" Horodecki is really good. Been watching him since he was in the IFL.

Bob Sapp is a shell of his former self but I think Bobby Lashley could be really good. For his next fight, I would like to see him take on somebody that could test him.

I thought Atencio looked pretty good. I'm not sure about that stoppage either but who knows. I thought they Sapp/Lashley fight was very disappointing, Sapp just kind of galloped into the takedown right out of the gate and that was pretty much it, lol.

Yeah, Sapp pretty much looks for a payday anymore. His heart is no longer in the game, imo.

I was never a big fan of Sapp at any point. The guy is just a hulking mass and used that to overwhelm his opponents. No skill involved IMO.

However, I did sincerely feel bad for the guy when he fought CroCop and got caught with that wicked hit that left him crying on the ground. Poor big fella

I think the ref was a little slow on the draw in the Yvel vs Rizzo fight. It was gruesome watching his head bounce off the canvas like that.(although I couldn't turn away either, lol).

Vitor Belfort Comments On Fight With Anderson Silva

MMAConvert recently reported the following quote from current Affliction Middleweight Vitor Belfort:

Anderson is a great friend of mine and a big champion but Im looking for this . . .I cannot comment much on this right now but yeah, I always want to fight the best fighters. Of course it wont be a pleasure [being Silvas friend"> but there isnt another way at all in the sport. Kaka and Ronaldinho (Brazilian soccer players) are friends and have faced each other many times. It is part of my work and I need it to afford milk to the children at homeUFC is the most recognizable event and Im doing my job to go back. Being recognized there again is my biggest dream right now. Im on the right way either for the results in the ring or to the life. Im an eternal warrior. - Vitor Belfort in interview with OUL Esporte of Brazil

This quote sheds at least some light on Vitors mindset towards returning to the self-proclaimed Super Bowl of Mixed Martial Arts. UFC President Dana White has already made his intentions known in signing the former UFC heavyweight and light heavyweight champion recently, announcing at the TUF 9 Finale his desire to bring The Phenom back into the UFC middleweight division to take on division kingpin, Anderson Silva.
