Slight Reach Advantage
Career record: 640-339
Season: 7-2 (#189)
Location: Ronda Rousey's Guard

And the fighter prays. Vitor Belfort, UFC middleweight, cinches the prayer circle with his dangerous hands. Wife, children, cousin, pastor, reporter. It is nighttime in Rio de Janeiro, July, behind the secure gates of a Barra da Tijuca development, far from the events that have disordered the fighter's life into the shades of scattered memory. "Jesus, we love you," he says.
On Saturday, Sept. 22, in Toronto, Belfort will fight Jon Jones, the UFC light heavyweight champion. Belfort was a champion, a name of the '90s, relying on the knockout, his hands landing faster than any opponent could interpret them, scattering memory in his own way. Belfort is 35 years old now, a long shot.

'Outside The Lines' huh?
Imagine if they did a piece on JJ - - - Outside The Lines does NOT mean you have to HIT a pole 
INSIDE the lines does NOT mean you have to have have sex with a bunch of white women WHILST married
