“I respect Nate Marquardt a lot, but looking for an excuse to lose is not cool. I won the fight for sure and fighting in Brazil, or anywhere else in the world, doesn't make any difference to the organization or the judges. Because, as far as I know, the UFC is an international organization, which promotes events in several countries and also has a team spread across all continents. But if you want to fight again, that's fine with me! I'm in! We're going to fight on neutral ground, then you won't be able to complain about fighting in anyone's country. Next time, I'll make sure the fight doesn't go into the hands of the judges. Let’s fight!!”, posted Belfort, through his social networks.
Vitor's victory over Marquardt ended a streak of victories for the Brazilian, who had come from three consecutive defeats. At 40 years old, the Rio native still has one more fight left on his contract with the UFC, but he has already highlighted that he intends to renew his contract for another five fights.
