The Road to "VITOR-y"

Don't worry: Vitor "The Phenom" Belfort isn't here to give you a beatdown. (Although he could.) But he is here to show what it takes in the gym to deliver venomous strikes and python-strong holds in the octagon.

And we know you haven't forgotten that an upcoming victory against Anderson Silva would mean that "The Phenom" has won belts in EVERY weight class.
