At long last, Vitor Belfort will fight Anderson Silva for the UFC middleweight title.
Belfort confirmed to HDNet’s “Inside MMA” on Friday night what has been expected for the last couple of weeks – he’ll fight Silva for the belt at the UFC’s Feb. 5 card in Las Vegas.
“The fight is definitely going to happen. It’s Feb. 5 in Vegas for the Super Bowl week,” Belfort told Ron Kruck on the live edition of the show. “I’m focused – I’m really focused. I’m learning a lot of Muay Thai, learning a lot of elbows, knees and kicks to deal with every weapon that Anderson Silva has.”
