Just a reminder that you can watch the UFC 126 weigh-ins live right here a bit later than usual at 7:00 pm ET.
There’s a pretty good chance that Anderson will be willing Vitor’s head to explode with his ice cold death stare, so it’s probably worth tuning in to to see if any altercations go down ahead of their potentially epic fight tomorrow night.

LAS VEGAS — Around the edges and out of focus, there’s a thought that Vitor Belfort will mentally break at some point during his middleweight championship fight against Anderson Silva. During UFC 126 fight week, it’s rarely been directly addressed. As you might imagine, the people who think it don’t necessarily have the courage to bring up the possibility to Belfort. But the whispers are there if you listen.
Belfort has faced the criticism for a long time. Many fighters — and even greats — face recurring critiques for sins committed years before. BJ Penn, for example, still hears questions about his stamina to this day. To be honest, some of it is rooted in some reality, but must past mistakes shadow you for an entire career? Not everyone has a second act, but perhaps that’s what Saturday represents for Belfort, a chance to finally quiet the doubters once and for all.
It’s never easy to know what thoughts are swirling around an athlete’s head, even when you stand in front of him, listen to his words, and examine his body language. But Belfort has made a believer of some when it comes to the inner peace he’s found. This is the most important fight in Brazil’s MMA history, and yet Belfort looks as though he feels no pressure, his eyes filled with happiness and excitement at what is to come.

Fresh off the heels of their translator debacle, the folks at Zuffa have put someone with no experience and arguably no talent at the helm of their production: you. Last night via Twitter, Dana White announced the launch of the all-new UFC.tv, a wholly interactive alternative to the standard pay-per-view experience.
Online viewers are able to switch between six live camera angles at any time, which will prove pivotal should Anderson Silva decide to unveil his latest dance moves once again. Advanced features like picture-in-picture and the option to watch up to four angles at once let you customize how the action is presented. Beyond the ability to listen en Español, those who grow tired of hearing Goldie and Rogan’s banter can change the sound over to either fighter’s corner. Similar to the “mic’d up” feature used sparingly in early UFC events, you’ll get to listen first-hand to the pearls of wisdom coming from coaches and cornermen, which is actually a pretty cool feature so long as it isn’t Nam Phan dispensing the advice.
