the defeat of Anderson Silva for Chris Weidman at UFC 162, this Saturday (6), caused diverse reactions from fans and other athletes from the organization. But it is possible that none of them were as effusive as that of Vitor belfort. Fur Twitter, the Brazilian didn't even comment on his compatriot's defeat and already tried to ask for his chance against the new champion, reinforcing his fixation on the Ultimate middleweight belt.
"Now, it's my turn. I deserve it, I want my dream come true. Chris Weidman, congratulations, but (sic) I’m next”, wrote Belfort, who made a point of tagging Weidman’s official profile in the message. The Brazilian also sent another message to Dana White and Lorenzo Fertitta, partners at ZUFFA (the company that manages Ultimate), with similar content and the marking “no rematch”, or “without rematch” – in free translation.
Vitor belfort He has already competed for the middleweight belt once, against the former champion Anderson Silva, at UFC 126, in 2011. On that occasion, the “Phenomenon”, as he is known, ended up being defeated in the first round. Since then, Belfort has won every fight he has had in the 84 kg division and is currently ranked second in the category.

I DON'T ASK ABOUT ANDERSOM'S DEFEAT, BECAUSE THERE IS NO INVINCIBLE, THERE WILL ALWAYS BE SOMEONE BETTER, I JUST ASK HOW HE LOST AFTER SO LONG FIGHTING TO LOSE LIKE THIS!! , YOU COULD HAVE LOST WITH THE DIGUITY OF A CHAMPION , WITHOUT PLAYING WITHOUT CAUSING ASSHOLE LOSING IS NOT UGLY , UGLY IS PLAYING THE RIDICULOUS SPIDERMAN YOU DISAPPOINTED THE PEOPLE WHO ADMIRED YOU
IF YOU PUT VITOR IN HE WILL BREAK WEIDMAN
Now God bless Belfort, Anderson Silva made me feel sorry and angry at the same time, but I've always been a fan of Belfort, so come on man, don't disappoint us, show that Brazil is badass.
VICTOR crushes that WEIDMAN easily!!!
Belfort said that when he enters the Octagon, the challenger is prey, a kitten, and he is a lion. and he will always enter the octagon thinking only about victory, no matter what form it takes. Playing at work is not my thing, even more so in fights, you always have to have blood in your eyes and faith in God. because he is a father, and if you ask with faith, he will give you what you want. Hugs and more humility in those hearts. Ever. DON’T UNDERESTIMATE, YOU WILL WEAK, I DON’T UNDERESTIMATE YOU, I WAS TRAINED TO WIN
