Vitor Belfort out of UFC 147 after breaking his hand in training

May 27, 2012 All MMA News, UFC  Comments 

The curse of the UFC 147 card continues this week after it was revealed middleweight heavy hitter and “Ultimate Fighter Brazil” coach, Vitor Belfort has been forced out of his main event fight with Wanderlei Silva after breaking his hand in training.

UFC President Dana White confirmed the news following UFC 146 on Saturday night. UFC 147 has undergone several issues since being announced for June 23 in Brazil.

White confirmed they are actively seeking a replacement to step in and face Silva on the June 23 card, but no announcement has been made yet on who it will be. This is no doubt a major blow for the Las Vegas based promotion who earlier in the year had to move the fight between Anderson Silva and Chael Sonnen off this card due to logistical issues.

Buying Supplements for MMA Training and Hardcore Workouts
Many people ask what type of supplements they should use for MMA training and hardcore workouts. With each person and training program the supplements will vary.  Anyone exerting enormous amounts of energy with their training needs to have a proper diet, lots of rest and quality supplementation. Some of the supplement staples for MMA and hardcore workouts will include Creatine, Whey Protein, BCAAs (Branched Chain Amino Acids), L Carnitine, Beta Alanine and Glutamine.  You may also need extra pre-workout energy and strength with Ephedrine/Ephedra and Prohormones.  As well you will need to replenish nutrients with Multivitamins, Super Greens, Fish Oil and Joint Support Supplements. Make sure to research what the requirements are for your specific training program, and do as much research as possible on each supplement you are taking. Buy supplements at a trusted source - one company we recommend for quality products and service is CenturySupplements.com.  They have quick delivery to the UK and a wide selection. They have been around for along time and have had great reviews from our customers.
