Vitor Belfort Reflects on Affliction Win
Date submitted: 22 July 2008

Vitor Belfort made an impressive return to US soil with a KO victory over Terry Martin at Affliction: Banned. “The Phenom” later revealed that he broke his hand during the fight.
 
 
"I think it went very well. I came in with a game plan and then I broke my hand so it changed. But I was pleased with the result of the fight and how my sacrifice and hard work paid off.
 
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 broken”. He said, “Ok” and Randy said, “Just go first. Go for it and finish the fight”.
 
I said to myself, “Ok, I’ll do that”. 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”.
