("Has anyone ever told you that you look like a skinny Brock Lesnar?")
Either his Viking beard made him seem a bit bigger than he was or former UFC heavyweight champ Brock Lesnar has lost a few pounds since losing his belt to Cain Velasquez at UFC 121 in October. Keep in mind that Brock weighed in at 264 pounds for that fight and Belfort has to make 185 by Saturday for his middleweight championship bout with Anderson Silva. There doesn’t seem to be a 79-pound difference between them.
Let’s hope it’s because Brock is skinny and not because Vitor is still well above his normal pre-cut weight. The photo was taken on Friday, meaning "The Phenom" *should* have been somewhere between 205-215 pounds.
Having had weight issues on more than one occasion in the past, forcing promotions to allow his fights to be contested at catch weights, it would be a shame to see Belfort pull a Paulo Filho and make the bout a non-title affair, especially if he were to beat Silva.

commentsAnyone seen the vid of Arlovski doing the 300 kick with Jon Jones? Jones the LHW looks much bigger than AA the HW. Reminds me of Anthony Johnson on MMA Live.
It's possible Lesnar may be dropping size to move a little quicker to acclimate to faster guys like Cain and Dos Santos, which is really what he needs, not more bulk.
Brock looks bigger in this pic to me, too. Not to mention he's taller than Vitor; a guy that wide at his height weighs more than a guy that wide at Vitor's height.
Still, credit where it's due: Vitor is looking jacked. Like middleweight Pat Barry jacked.
Based on this photo... how much does each of them have in their wallet?
I wonder if his "chest knife" has gone flacid.
