War of the Words: Belfort v. Henderson

PrintVitor Belfort spoke with Tatame after his submission victory over Anthony Johnson at UFC 142 and mentioned that he wasn't the UFC's first choice to fight Rumble at middleweight. He said:
"He’s a strong guy, feared in UFC. Dan Henderson refused to fight him, everybody declined it. He’s a guy who’s hard to match-up in this division, but I accepted it at a glance", reveals the Brazilian. "I have never feared any man… I thought it was good challenge and I said yes. I showed how I value the fans and the UFC".
Well, Dan Henderson heard this and responded to Tatame:
"That’s not true, this fight was never offered to me," Dan said through an interpreter, his BJJ coach Ricardo Feliciano. "Steroids might be killing Vitor’s neurons, he’s getting crazy to say something like that".
Back at Pride 32, Belfort lost by unanimous decision to Henderson. After their fight, Belfort tested positive for 4-hydroxytestosterone, an illegal substance. Belfort appealed to the Nevada State Athletic Commission, but to no avail. Belfort was suspended for nine months from the date of the hearing and fined $10,000.
Well, well, well. Is Belfort telling the truth, lying or getting crazy from the steroids, like Henderson says?

I love Vitor and I kinda dislike Dan Henderson...
Still, great retort by Dan. People who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones and Vitor has a pretty huge mouth,
the ufc should bring back the short lived super middleweight divison for this
wandy vs rich
hendo vs rich
vitor vs rich (im pretty sure so google it before you start denying it)

I don’t so much dislike the man as I don’t really like him. I’ve nothing against him but he rubs me in a wrong way somehow.
