"Brock Lesnar, I think you're a fraud, but I'll give you a chance. If you want to face me, let's go without gloves, you and me. We put the gloves aside and let's fight. I know you're a tough guy. I heard you're a grappler, but I'm going to face you. I fight any day and any fight. I think there is a historic fight here”, said Belfort.
Vitor explained why he considers Brock a 'lie' in mixed martial arts. The Brazilian, however, wants to prove that he has the ability to overcome the physical strength of the athlete who, for years, was one of the biggest names in wrestling.
“I think he’s a fraud in MMA. He comes from WWE, he knows how to sell, but for MMA, he doesn't like getting hit. I can hit him really hard. You're a big guy, I understand. I'm going to face big guys. I'm not afraid. The king of the jungle is the lion and not the elephant”, provoked Vitor.
Since the news broke that Lesnar is no longer part of WWE, several names have emerged as possible opponents for Brock. In addition to Belfort, names like Fedor Emelianenko, by Bellator, and Jon Jones, by the UFC, were put on the agenda.
