On Saturday night, in front of a delirious Brazilian crowd at UFC Fight Night 32, Vitor Belfort not only became the first man to knockout Dan Henderson, he also became the first fighter in UFC history to earn three head kick KOs. And those three? Yeah, they came consecutively. All in 2013, all against top-10 ranked opponents. Not bad for a 36-year-old.

The young dinosaur's unbelievable performance capped off a wild night in Goiânia, one which shaped quickly into a dream show for any self-respecting violence aficionado -- nine finishes in 11 fights, seven of which ended in the first round, and two of which ended via the elusive ‘tapout due to strikes.' And as always, as the hits piled up, Twitter couldn't help but jump aboard for the ride.

Belfort can contend with anyone. He deserves the winner of Weidman and Silva. That said I believe @ChrisWeidmanUFC is champ for a long time. — Kyle Kingsbury (@Kingsbu) November 10, 2013
