Tip of the cap to Kelvin Hunt over at SB Nation’s MMA For Real for catching something that slid by me. From Matt Hughes’ blog:
Matt Hughes On Rich Franklin vs. Vitor Belfort
↵↵I think this is an interesting match up as you know Rich and I are good friends and I think he will pull out a victory. I don’t see much of a ground game by either fighter, just a lot of strikes. Vitor is such a mental fighter, it all just depends on who is going to show up. If a confident Vitor shows up, he could do well; but if a weak-minded, undertrained Vitor shows up, then he’s going to be in trouble. I’m sure Rich will come in with a good game plan and I see it being a good main event.

Is he saying he doesn’t expect much of a ground game or that they don’t have anything to offer on the ground? Because Vitor is a BJJ black belt under the great Carlson Gracie.
