Publicly, Vitor Belfort’s middleweight title shot is not a forgone conclusion.
UFC president Dana White is cautious about guaranteeing the former UFC light heavyweight champion a shot at the winner of Saturday’s UFC 117 clash between current middleweight champion Anderson Silva and Chael Sonnen.
Privately, it’s a different story. A source close to Belfort told MMAjunkie.com the Brazilian fighter is attending UFC 117 and that his camp hopes for a
staredown with the Silva vs. Sonnen winner on the pay-per-view
broadcast.
