LAS VEGAS – The stakes were huge, the anticipation was unmatched, and the rivalry never so bitter or heated.
Leave it to middleweight champion Anderson Silva to save one of his most impressive performances for just such a scenario.
The UFC’s long-reigning middleweight champion used a slick front-kick
knockdown to set up an eventual knockout victory over rival Vitor
Belfort in the headliner of Saturday’s UFC 126 event, which aired live
on pay-per-view from the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas.
