UFC 126: Anderson Silva knocks out Vitor Belfort in first round

A wicked left kick and two quick punches by Silva end the bout suddenly. Also, Jon Jones defeats Ryan Bader, then learns he will get a shot at light-heavyweight champion Mauricio 'Shogun' Rua in March.

Anderson Silva did not do much of anything in the first three minutes of his Ultimate Fighting Championship title defense Saturday night against Vitor Belfort.
Then came the kick.

Unleashing a wicked left kick that moved Belfort's jaw toward his nose, Silva knocked down the former UFC champion, hesitated briefly to ensure there were signs of alertness, then moved in for a right punch and a left that led referee Mario Yamasaki to stop the fight at the 3-minute 25-second mark.
