Fighter Profiles

Vitor Belfort "The Phenom"

Belfort is a Former Heavyweight and Light Heavyweight champion, but that was a while back at UFC 12 and UFC 46. He is still regarded as one of the most dangerous fighters in the first round and has only fought high-level competition in his last fights including Weidman, Souza and two wins over Dan Henderson.

---

Gegard Mousasi

Mousasi is coming off a round one knockout and performance of the night vs. Thiago Santos. He is a well-rounded fighter known for his striking, and massive 61% takedown defense. He is currently ranked ninth in the middleweight division.

---

The Matchup

Vitor Belfort is 3-2 in his last five fights. All five fights ended in the first round. This shows just how dangerous Belfort is in the first round. Ironically he beat both main event fighters, Dan Henderson and Michael Bisping in 2013. He is known for his very aggressive forward blitz style.
He could have a chance vs. Mousasi who can be a slow starter. Mousasi is coming off of two wins and is known for been a cool and collected technical striker with good wrestling that he frequently uses to prevent takedowns.

How to Play

• Vote on the main post to enter the bet (main post rewards will also be added to the Stake Pool).

• Cast your Vote Bet on ONLY ONE outcome for which you bet on for the win (Multiple comment votes will be automatically disqualified by the script, unvote and revote counts as multiple votes and will be disqualified).

• After 24 hours, the post and related game comments payout to the pool; remember 25% voters rewards are deducted from the total post payout value first as per Steem curation rules. Voters are rewarded in standard fashion in proportion to their Steem Power holdings.

The Stake Pool:

• The remaining 75% of the total payout is paid out in 50% Steem Power and 50% in liquid currencies, the latter now varies in payout ratio after the new fork. To make the process less complicated, we have decided to use all paid out SBD to buy Steem in the internal market to create a grand total Steem Stake Pool.

• 30% of the Stake Pool will be retained, of which 15% will go to the writer/sports presenter of the post, and the 15% balance towards editing, development and advertising.

• 70% of the Stake Pool will be held until the event/game outcome is determined.

• Once the winning outcome is determined, we will execute a proprietary developed script that will divide and pay out the Steem rewards equally, using the Power Up method, to Mass Distribute SP to all participants that voted on the main post as the entrance fee as well as voted on the correct comment representing the winning outcome.

• Only participants with a Reputation of 35 or more will qualify to earn SP rewards, but non-qualifiers can still vote and comment in support of the redistribution initiative.
