2012 Combat sports Resolution: MMA fight #6 Vitor Belfort vs. Anthony Johnson at UFC 142: Aldo vs. Mendes
What originally was supposed to be a middleweight match turned into a catchweight bout after Johnson came in 11 pounds overweight at the weigh ins. 
Johnson started the fight like a horse charging out the gate, attacking Belfort with striking and then a takedown. Despite Johnson’s quick onslaught, Belfort was able to come back and lock in a rear naked choke before the end of the first round. 
One thing I enjoyed about this match was how the Brazilian crowd sang in support of Belfort. I almost thought Joe Rogan was going to make a similar comment that he made at UFC 93 during the Marcus Davis fight [“Oh no, the Irish are singing].
