Vitor Belfot must be on some sort of special TRT that gravitates toward the legs. Third fight in a row with a thunderous leg kick in it.

Vitor is a perfect TRT commercial. Who cares about the old Vitor the new one is better.
— Sherdog (@TheSherdoggy) November 10, 2013
Can someone ask Vitor where he gets his TRT? Clearly there are superior places to shop
— The_Lutfi (@The_Lutfi) November 10, 2013
I've seen strippers with Vitor's haircut. Just not where Vitor's is.

Belfort and Henderson's tale of the tape graphic should include T/E ratios.

Belfort is so proud of his TRT use he has the letter T shaved in his head. #UFCFightNight

nice of Brandon Thatch to loan Vitor his hair for the fight

Fight Fact: TRT is known as "The Flu Shot" in Brazil. #UFCFighNight

Now that the Jungle Fight card is over, let's get to the UFC card.

Daniel Sarafian brought in a wrestling team to train...they musta been wrestlers from the U.K....unless he's lying

Brazilians booing a Brazilian fighter is pretty much the same as when Strippers boo Miley Cyrus, right? #UFCFightNight

I have had a few mornings when my liver felt like Paulo Thiago's.

Forgot to point out that Thatch's win sealed the foreign invaders beating Brazil on their home soil. First time that's happened on UFC cards
— Mike Chiappetta MMA (@MikeChiappetta) November 10, 2013
First UFC card I can remember watching with back-to-back tapouts due to strikes. That normally only happens in ghetto regional/bar shows.

My pants aren't even in the house anymore, you guys. The Gods of Body Shot Pain are with us.

Man, I hope we all didn't learn to pronounce Ponzinibbio for nothing.
— Chad Dundas (@chaddundas) November 10, 2013
History needs some kind of USA-Brazilian War so we can reference what the Americans are doing in South America right now.
— RJ Clifford (@RJcliffordMMA) November 10, 2013
Don't worry, guys. Jason always comes back for one final scare. #FightNight
— Tommy Toe Hold (@TommyToeHold) November 10, 2013
Whoops ... Jason couldn't sneak up on Stephens. I knew he was screwed when his scary music didn't start.
— Greg Savage (@TheSavageTruth) November 10, 2013
Brazil is usually a graveyard for foreigners but after the prelims, foreigners are 3-2 against Brazilians. #UFCFightNight

The good news is that Pepey's face and hair are gonna match in the morning. Bad news is that he won't remember why.
— Dann Stupp (@MMAjunkieDann) November 10, 2013
That was indeed a comeback win for Dustin Ortiz. Guilherme Bravo, Doug Crosby and Marcos Rosales all had it 20-18 Maria going to R3.
— Matt Erickson (@MMAjunkieMatt) November 9, 2013
That's two low blows by Ortiz. Now's the time to kick Maria on the belt line and end this thing.
