Quote of the Day: Vitor Belfort Knocked Out Terry Martin With Broken Hand
“The first punch I threw. It was a straight left. I knew right away it broke. But I had to keep going. I couldn’t throw my combinations I had worked on. Coach Tompkins was yelling at me to throw my combos. At the end of the first round I went back to the corner and Tompkins was yelling at me, “Why don’t you throw your combos?†I said, “My hand is brokenâ€. He said, “Ok†and Randy said, “Just go first. Go for it and finish the fightâ€.
I said to myself, “Ok, I’ll do thatâ€. It was great chemistry in the corner. I went out and I did what they said. I was looking to land a big shot and get it over with. It’s my left hand, which is my power hand. I went out and threw the kick at Terry. When he caught my kick I let him take me down so I could soften him up with the elbows. I knew I could get back to my feet when I needed to. Then I set him up for the knee. After that I was able to pick his head up with the uppercut and end it with the straight left.
[It was broken in] two places. At the base of my thumb and at the base of the index finger. I don’t need surgery. The doctor says 4 weeks in the brace and then I will be OK.
I’ll go relax in Brazil for a few weeks. See my family, who I miss so much, hug my kids and stay with them. Go to the beach with them. Stay at the pool at my house, go to church. Catch a movie with my wife, drink a bottle of wine with her. chill out see my family and friends. I’ll come back for my next camp.”
Vitor Belfort reveals on the Xtreme Couture blog that he defeated Terry Martin via second-round knockout at Affliction “Banned” with a multiple fractures in his left hand.

Did we need all of the details about hanging out with your family? What could have been, I’m going to go home and relax and spend some time with my friends and family turned into a detailed itinerary of events to come (hug my kids, go to the beach, stay at the pool, go to church, catch a movie, drink a bottle of wine, chill out, etc). YIKES.
Mikemick,
Today I am going to drink my coffee while looking at MMA and other sport sites. I’m going to feed my cat, pet him goodbye and then go to work. Around 12-2PM I’ll probably get lunch. Lunch might be pizza, chinese or a deli sandwich…I don’t know yet but I will count how many times I chew before swallowing. Then after work I am going to get in my car, start it up, drive home, take a shower and feed my cat again. At that point I will roll a blunt and hop right back on MMA and other sports sites. Shortly after this takes place my wife should get home from work and we will most likely eat and possibly play mariokart wii. Chances are I will drink 2 bottles of water today. There’s much more detail but it’s time to get back to MMA.
KOuch
Ha ha ha ha !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
u guys crack me up man
You guys are viscious….haha….but seriously, there is nothing wrong with a little behind the scenes info…I mean the UFC has shows like that all the time..
looks like vitors with some top trainers today, tompkins and couture there teaching plus his old striking, looks like they brought it back with a vengance!
I like Vitor despite him being part of what I view as the passing of an older generation of MMA fighters past their prime. Hopefully he makes a come back but with the high number of young rising talent, I do not see much room for Vitor. His agenda sounds nice.
Vitor Belfort….The F**kin Man…enough said.
