Randleman vs Belfort is off

**Hunter** · 05-10-2006, 07:39 PM

Randleman had a infection come back into his surgically repaired shoulder and was forced out Alistar is replacing Randlemen, a major question I have is this going to be at 205 or heavyweight?

I wonder if Belfort still has was it takes to pull a win on this one...

As of right now it is scheduled to take place at 210lbs, sounds like Belfort wants it that way which is funny cause they are both natural HW's.

I must go with Overeem once again, Belfort is not consistent enough in MMA, he fights once win or lose, then takes off etc...

Allistair has been fighting top competition and doing very good, i am sure Belfort will have metal issues going into this fight knowing Alistair has beat him before.

thats true murilo but i think that vitor being such a proud and sentimental fighter won't let alistair beat him again. alistair is a good skilled fighter but i'll have to go with vitor 'cause probably alistair is sure that he'll win this fight and vitor doesn't so he'll be more focused and maybe better trained.

Belfort chance for a rematch.

I know you wanna have hope for Vitor, but please give up on the guy..he has proven over and over and over and over and over again that he is mentally weak and cannot stay focused enough to compete at the top level of MMA today.

Vitor looked good in the past due to his competition being weak, his claim to fame is his TKO over Wanderlei back in 10/98 for gods sake...for some reason people still say "I hope the old Vitor shows up"...its not gonna happen, its been proven.

I Completely agree Murilo, I never thougth Belfort was anything exceptional you hit the nail on the head his competition was not the best when he was tearing through people. Silva changed as a fighter and Belfort imo would lose its nice to see another person who shares my mind set

With that said, the man has so much potential but lacks the mental game, fighting is 90% mental.

i know what you're saying but lets wait 'til the fight is over, alistair is a good fighter but i really hope vitor has a chance on this one.

i think for a mma guy belfort has exceptional boxing skills but way too 1 dimensional thesedays.

i would say exceptional hands but not boxing skills.

i gotta go with overeem again too. i wish they'd just fight at HW though. why in God's name would they wanna cut?
