Both guys wanted it, and now it looks like it’s going to happen.
After Alan Belcher and Vitor Belfort both publicly called each other out this week, it seems that Dana White had no problem setting up a bout between two of the top contenders in the UFC’s middleweight division, according to MMA Junkie.
This is a huge fight in a middleweight division that is suddenly jam packed with potential title contenders. The winner of this one will be in prime position to get a shot at Anderson Silva.
Throw in the fact that the fight is taking place in Belfort’s home country of Brazil and things get even more interesting.
Belfort’s striking is top notch but Belcher showcased some amazing grappling skills when he went head-to-head with Rousimar Palhares on the mat at UFC on FOX 3 making this fight one with show stealing potential.
