Teammates and fellow Blackzilians discuss what sets Victor Belfort apart from opponent Jon Jones and what Jones should fear most when the two step into the Octagon.
Check out what they had to say below.
Evans: He has nothing to lose. He’s fighting because he loves to fight. When you fight for that reason, you tap into the very reason why we all started fighting. It’s because we love to do it. That’s why (Jones) should have fear, or definitely respect Vitor.
Overeem: Vitor is prepared. He’s mentally strong. Jon Jones is a fighter who will always hold a surprise, but if anyone can beat him it’s going to be Vitor Belfort. Besides me, of course, but I’m a heavyweight.
Cavalcante:He can use his experience and surprise Jon Jones in this fight. We are all cheering for him. He represents our team and Brazil. He is prepared to represent us and take another title to Brazil.
Silva: I think this will be a great fight for (Vitor). It will be a great fight, Jon Jones better be prepared because it will be a fight.
