Twitter reacts to Vitor Belfort’s UFC Fight Night 32 knockout of Dan Henderson Vitor Belfort capped off an incredible night of fights with a highlight-reel knockout of Dan Henderson in the UFC Fight Night 32 main event.

Saturday’s fight card from Goiania Arena in Goiania, Goias, Brazil, was a marquee moment in Belfort’s (24-10 MMA, 13-6 UFC) career as he avenged a 2006 loss to Henderson (29-11 MMA, 6-5 UFC) with the help of a perfectly placed head kick.

“The Phenom” has as much momentum as any fighter in the UFC today, and with three straight knockout wins under his belt, the Brazilian is on the verge of a championship fight.

Great ko by Belfort, I was really pulling for Dan, tough sport to call…

— Mark Bocek (@MarkBocek) November 10, 2013

That would be called an uppercut.

— Pat Miletich (@patmiletich) November 10, 2013

Belfort can contend with anyone. He deserves the winner of Weidman and Silva. That said I believe @ChrisWeidmanUFC is champ for a long time.

This was Belfort’s 13th UFC finish, tying Matt Hughes for 2nd place all-time. Anderson Silva has 14 UFC finishes. #UFCFightNight
