A wicked left kick and two quick punches by Silva end the bout suddenly. Also, Jon Jones defeats Ryan Bader, then learns he will get a shot at light-heavyweight champion Mauricio 'Shogun' Rua in March.
Reporting from Las Vegas —
Anderson Silva did not do much of anything in the first three minutes of his Ultimate Fighting Championship title defense Saturday night against Vitor Belfort.Then came the kick.
Unleashing a wicked left kick that moved Belfort's jaw toward his nose, Silva knocked down the former UFC champion, hesitated briefly to ensure there were signs of alertness, then moved in for a right punch and a left that led referee Mario Yamasaki to stop the fight at the 3-minute 25-second mark.
