Vitor Belfort is one of the hottest fighters on the UFC roster right now. At UFC Fight Night 32, Belfort picked up his third straight knockout win and became the first fighter to ever stop former Pride FC champion Dan Henderson with strikes.
Although Saturday’s fight was contested at 205 pounds, Belfort had previously separated himself as the best middleweight contender going behind Anderson Silva. Now, Belfort is likely to meet the winner of an upcoming 185-pound title fight between Silva and champion Chris Weidman.
However, having seen success in both the middleweight and light heavyweight divisions, Belfort is showing he’s one of the better pound-for-pound fighters in MMA. Was Saturday’s win enough for Belfort to crack into the pound-for-pound top 10?
With UFC Fight Night 32 in the books and UFC 167 ahead, here are the latest official UFC rankings.
