Earlier this week, UFC president Dana White left open the possibility of a rematch for the historic fight between Anderson Silva e Vitor belfort if the Brazilians win in their next commitments, respectively against Nick Diaz e Chris Weidman. However, depending on the former middleweight champion, the reunion will not happen.
In an interview with the English newspaper “The Telegraph”, “Spider” stated that he had no desire to face Belfort again. “I have no desire to fight Vitor again”, he clarified.

The former owner of the belt was also in favor of banning tesoterone replacement therapy (TRT), a treatment previously used by Belfort. “It was good for the sport and it was something that should happen. From the day you start using TRT, you will have to do it all the time. I don't know exactly how it works, but if you're using it it's because you already have a hormone deficit – so you shouldn't be competing. That simple. It's a sport, and if you're using something that's illegal, it stops being a sport. The commission acted correctly with the anti-doping tests and it is important that the sport gains respect. This way, we would have more people watching, more sponsors and more investments”, said the athlete.
