The injury that forced Vitor Belfort out of a featured UFC 139 slot is simply a speed bump on his quest for a UFC title, and he’s planning to return to the cage before year’s end.
While a recent in-studio guest on MMAjunkie.com Radio, Belfort said he’s specifically targeting a return at the year-end UFC 141 event in Las Vegas.
As for a potential opponent, Belfort has his sights on the winner of an upcoming UFC 136 fight between Chael Sonnen and Brian Stann. He’d be happy with either opponent. But for very different reasons.
