ULTIMATE TECHNIQUES
LEFT HEAVY STRAIGHT
Level 3—Both Standing, Striking Range
“The Phenom” is known for packing a lethal straight left, and this is it. You won’t need to connect with this laser-like strike many times before you send the opponent reeling.
LEFT UPPERCUT
Level 3—Single Collar Tie
Belfort’s left hand is just as deadly in the clinch as it is when he’s standing and exchanging on the feet. Land this punishing uppercut from the easy-access Single Collar Tie.
LEFT/RIGHT HOOK
Level 2—Open Guard, Top
Belfort’s a beast on the feet, but for a little variety, take the opponent to the ground and posture up into sub position so you can pound away with his heavy hooks.
STRENGTHS
- Boxing
- Speed
- Experience
A former UFC middleweight champion, Vitor Belfort is renowned for his overwhelming stand-up game. His strikes come with great speed and accuracy, and “The Phenom” excels at combining his hands into fast, fluid combo that often manage to catch his opponents off guard.
Take full advantage of Belfort’s tremendous striking speed to light up his opponents with well-timed quick strike combos.
Mix in power strikes as you begin to establish a rhythm, but don’t throw too many heavy blows—remain tactical in your offense and be ready to prevent the opponent’s attempts to clinch up or take you down.
Keep the fight standing and keep your rivals at the end of his long and lethal punches to bring them crashing to the mat with some phenomenal knockouts.
WEAKNESSES
- Takedowns
- Ground grappling
“The Phenom” is a force whose stand-up skills must be respected. Keep your hands up as you look for a chance to clinch up or shoot in for a takedown—you don’t want to get caught up exchanging with this quick and powerful boxer for any longer than you have to.
Bring Belfort to the ground as soon as you’re able to nullify his overwhelming stand-up game, then work at passing his relatively low-level guard and smashing him with heavy strikes from dominant top position.
His submission game isn’t as polished as his striking, but “The Phenom” is good at fending off subs—work at setting up your submissions by wearing Belfort down on the ground before attempting to lock in a hold.
