The English Michael Bisping has been guaranteed, for some time now, a fight for the middleweight belt in the event of a victory over Vitor belfort No. UFC Sao Paulo. Recently, Marshall Zelaznik, director of international development at Ultimate, did not rule out the same chance for the Brazilian if he is the winner of Saturday's duel. Despite this, both do not seem to be thinking about the future, and the category title, as they demonstrated in a press conference held in a hotel in the south of São Paulo.
Belfort was objective in his response when asked about a possible rematch against Spider. “I don’t talk about the Anderson Silva. I'm talking about next Saturday's fight. That’s what’s in my head,” she said.
In turn, Bisping preached respect to his opponent after similar questioning. “I would be an idiot to look beyond the Vitor belfort. He is a former light heavyweight champion, former middleweight challenger, so I will only talk about Vitor, I will not talk about Anderson Silva”, stated the Englishman.
Vitor belfort e Michael Bisping face each other, in a duel valid for the middleweight category, in the main fight of the UFC Sao Paulo. The main card of the event also features three other fights: Daniel sarafian x CB Dollaway, Gabriel Napao x Ben Rothwell and Thiago tavares x Khabib Nurmagomedov. This is the sixth time that the UFC has arrived in Brazil, the second in the capital of São Paulo. The other two Brazilian cities that have already hosted Ultimate events are Belo Horizonte and Rio de Janeiro.
