Vitor Belfort fails to execute a game plan against Silva

After Saturday's night full of long and slow starting fights, the main event was nothin but. Although it did start slow, once Vitor and Silva started swinging, the action started, and the crowd and viewers at home went nuts. Many people including myself gave Vitor a chance. The highlight reel of Vitor unleashing a flurry of punches of the feared striker Wanderlie Silva, was what we all wanted Vitor to do. Instead he started out slow and let Silva calculate and attain his timing. Once that happened he let out that front kick to the face, knocking him out in the first round. Vitor failed to start out with guns blazing, which is how Chael   Sonnen took him down so much and even out struck him. In the end, we end up with the same champion, a new highlight reel and another punished middleweight contender.
