UFC middleweight contender and former light heavyweight champion, Vitor Belfort has today accepted the challenge of a rematch from his fellow countryman, Wanderlei Silva just hours after it was issued.
Belfort, speaking via Tatame Magazine, said:
“Let’s do it, brother. I accept it. He’s a great athlete, a great champion, and it would be a pleasure to fight him. It’d be a highly anticipated fight, very important for the sport”
“Whatever Dana (White) says I’ll do, I never chose opponents and I won’t do it now. But he made the challenge and I’m accepting it. I just don’t wanna wait for the UFC Rio to come back, I wanna fight first.”
