In anticipation of his upcoming bout against Anthony Johnson at UFC 142, Vitor Belfort has given fans an exclusive look into his training camp.
“The Phenom” has already began his preparation for Johnson, and with only four weeks left, he opened up about his daily routine.
In the first installment, Belfort is seen training in grappling and jiu-jitsu, as well as striking, in order to be ready for January 14th. This will be Johnson’s debut at 185 pounds.
Belfort is coming off a knockout victory over Yoshihiro Akiyama at UFC 133 earlier his year that saw the Brazilian rebound from a knockout loss to Anderson Silva at UFC 126, where both Brazilian’s met in a middleweight title bout.
Belfort is still optimistic about his chances at a title opportunity in the future, but he said he can only focus on his opponent before anything else.
“My head is on today,” Belfort told UFC.com. “Tomorrow is to take care of yourself, today is the day. So on (January 14th) is going to be the day that I’m gonna’ perform my athleticism, my technique, my performance, but if I don’t take care of today, tomorrow may not come.”
UFC 142 is scheduled for January 14th, live from the HSBC Arena in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
