I don´t know how to translate it perfectly to english, but it´s something like this...
anderson said to belfort: "you are fucked, you are fucked, i´m gonna kick your ass "
belfort said:" i´m in, i´m in, lets see who is gonna lose."
anderson: you lose, homie
From KAUS over at MMAJUNKIE
KAUS on Feb 05, 2011 at 2:26 am ET
did some lip sync, and translating for you guys:
Silva: que é irmão? → what brother?
Belfort (shortly after ): não sou teu irmão → Im not your brother!
Silva (while belfort still speaking): Você tá fodido! → you’re f***ed!
Belfort: vou acabar com você! pois vem me foder → Im going to beat you! So come f***-me!
At the end, while Dana apart they:
Belfort – Vou acabar contigo → Im going to beat you!
Silva – Vem agora! → come now!
Belfort – Vamo sim! → yeah, lets go!
Hope it helps^^

Where’s this disturbing little gem from? I’m missing a bit of backstory, I feel.
To save me some time on 25% of all threads, here's the universal answer to the Fedor-debate: Fedor is the most accomplished MMA fighter ever. That is a fact. If he still is the best fighter at this point in time is up for debate.
he was part of a reality tv show
Big Brother type of show, and the girl’s foot he’s licking I think was his wife’s, who was also in the show but I’m not sure, I didn’t watch that program.
yo no quiero hacer mas nada
According to that "why is Anderson so mad" post
Yeah, it’s his wife Joana “Feiticeira” Prado — pretty much THE celebrity marriage in Brazilian MMA, and Brazil’s (still?) only three-time Playboy cover girl.
If that post is to be believed, both their “Big Brother”-equivalent stint and the celebrity marriage (or rather, his ability to just rub it into every Feiticeira fan’s face that “haha I have her and you don’t”) tie into Anderson’s rage.
I posted this already, but I think it's appropriate now.

This is amazing
Either Anderson is so pissed that he will do anything but dance and show up as a murderer or he just pissed Belfort off to the point where Belfort won’t give him any time to even think about dancing.
Or both!

Usually I would say a fighter has no chance rushing Anderson
but with his speed and power he might be better of pulling out the FUBAR, no holds bar, punches flying charge.

Anderson's so goddamn awesome.
So hype now.
I know less about recognizing true fighting talent than George W. Bush does about finding weapons of mass destruction. From now on if I wanna pick a winner I will ask the-gentle-way.

May the best man win. I’m no Vitor fan, and don’t make me start on Anderson. But what he did there was full of win.

I agree it was a very epic moment.
But all I’m saying is, if Vitor wins, this fight becomes so much more memorable (for obvious reasons)
Your signature should be this short.
Vitor's comeback?
He’s had a handful of those and all have been equally unimpressive. Don’t get me wrong, I almost always want underdogs to win, but Vitor does nothing for me. I’d rather Anderson continue to build his legacy at Vitor’s expense, much like Couture, Liddell, Saku, and Tito before him.

It's not that I don't like him
it’s that his 3rd or 4th comeback story isn’t nearly as interesting to me as Anderson’s record breaking dominance of the division. If Vitor wins and loses the belt immediately (which he almost assuredly would) he not only cuts off Anderson’s title reign but he also prevents the GSP/Silva mega-fight from happening or, barring that, takes a lot of the luster off of it. Very little payoff as a fan if Belfort pulls off a win.

The fact that he doesn't deserve a shot yet
He won one fight since coming back to the UFC and that wasn’t even at 185.
This is MMA

You’re all like “yeah, I could take him. Call me, Dana. Call me.” And he thought it was some cool gangsta-sign and did it too. Well played! ;)

This is all part of Anderson's scheme
He wants to turn himself into a polarizing figure that everyone talks about, loves, or hates so that he’ll get more PPV buys, which he gets a percentage of, so he’ll make more money.
He clearly doesn’t want to do the trash talking stuff, so he does his ‘yes’ and ‘no’ answers, and now he’s driving up the antics to get people talking and to drum up hype and attention…more than likely it’ll work.

But really, I don’t care who wins, I just want to see an awesome fight. I am leaning towards Anderson winning but it is not a big deal to me. Fast forward to the Brazilian on Brazilian crime.

After reading the comments posted on facebook
I am shocked by how many people got so angry at Anderson for what he did. I thought what Sonnen did was way worse but people seem to love him.
People are angry?
About a mask? I don’t like Silva but not sure how a mask can anger somebody.

Oh, there are about 5,000 rednecks just losing their shit over it.

Anderson is completely insane.
“He say I wear mask? I weel show HEEM!” squeaks with laughter
There is no sunshine for Vitor. Only darkness errry dayyyyyy…..
"It is hard to free fools from the chains they revere."
I thought it was hilariously Anderson...
can’t believe anyone outside of Vitor’s circle of friends and family would be upset about…and secretly, not even most of them…

I thought it was great too. But Silva is dead serious (or appears to be) when he does shit like that. When Sonnen does his foolery, everybody knows he’s just being funny or completely insane. Both will not be taken seriously.

even Vitor thought it was funny at first
given that he was laughing when Silva put the mask on, but then shit himself when he got up in his face :p
yo no quiero hacer mas nada
what anderson says
the only thing i’m sure he says (and twice) is: “you’re fucked”
Make no mistake.
Anderson is a killer, don’t let his soft spoken persona fool you. This is the fight business, kill or be killed. Anderson knows what hes doing so people saying hes disrespectful or two faced are stupid. Of coarse hes two faced, hes a freaking cage fighter.

I’m surprised any of you could actually hear what they were saying in Portuguese.. or did ya read lips?
This built tension like I’ve never seen prior….
Tomorrow night is gonna be the 4th of july…
i’m actually portuguese and it’s a very clean “çe ta fodido” → you’re fucked
i don’t understand too well what vitor says but it seems : “tou ligado, meu irmao” and i can´t quite translate that.. it’s almost like “i’m on, bro” or “i’m right with you, bro”

@anonymousbungi
This is Great, I was already excited for this fight!
Anderson may be finally doing the business side and helping hype the fight, or maybe he just likes finding something his opponent said to give him an edge/anger towards his opponent?
At first I was like wtf, why the mask? then I recalled reading an interview and belfort saying something of the sorts
The lives of all of us have been moulded largely by induction through suggestion.
I just think that Anderson is acting the way he is for this fight is because he knows Vitor is the only real true threat to him other than
Sonnen who he or it seems he didn’t take seriously.
sucks Silva had to bring up the rib injury, otherwise id feel confident saying Silva looked more vulnerable to the staright punches of sonnen VS looping punches maybe… But we will see tomorrow, it’s all just speculation. I’ve gone against Silva every fight since Franklin 1 and cant turn back now, gotta stay consistent
The lives of all of us have been moulded largely by induction through suggestion.
Yes
I remember reading that Michael Jordan would use crazy, totally petty things his opponents would do or say to get himself fired up and keep his competitive edge… and Anderson is clearly (from a talent and dominance stand point) the MJ of MMA (with Leites/Maia being his “fuck it, I’m going to try baseball”) Plus, it DOES make for great hype (that’s the craziest staredown I’ve ever seen in the UFC)… AND it goes a long way toward getting in Vitor’s head.
