SILVA PAYING NO SPECIAL ATTENTION

Anderson Silva says that he expects the best from Vitor Belfort ever. Belfort has beaten the likes of Randy Couture, Wanderlei Silva and Rich Franklin during his career, displaying lethal hand speed combined with phenomenal power.

Silva has not faced an out-and-out striker since he met Patrick Cote in October 2008, when the pair shared two rounds of cautious sparring before Cote's knee gave way.
