"If I hit him like Demian and Sonnen did, it's going to be different because I have much more firepower. Still, a fight is a fight, and we know we're two well-conditioned champions. The most important thing is to be well-trained and focused on each second of that fight.

"I know Anderson knows that if my hands hit him, he will not be able to stand on his feet," Belfort added. "No matter who's on the other side of the cage, whether it's Anderson or someone else, I'm going forward. If you look at my last fights, you're going to see how focused I am. I know what I want. I have no doubt about what I want or what I'm able to do, so I'm very motivated."
