Vitor Belfort‘s taken almost two years off from kicking people in the face to give his body the necessary recuperation time as it gets a grasp on life after testosterone replacement therapy. Last time we saw him, The Phenom looked all the parts of a frightening man with a pining for gold.
Chris Weidman’s taken almost a full year off from defending the highly sought-after middleweight crown to recover from injury after injury. Last time we saw him, he was busy going five rounds with Lyoto Machida in what was considered one of the best fights 2014 had to offer.
