Earlier today Wanderlei Silva called out Vitor Belfort, seeking revenge for a loss in 1998.
TATAME spoke with The Phenom, who accepted the challenge and left the decision about the highly expected rematch in Dana White’s hands.
Let’s do it, brother. I accept it, Vitor said, praising the fighter he defeated by TKO in UFC Brazil, in 1998. He’s a great athlete, a great champion, and it would be a pleasure to fight him. It’d be a highly anticipated fight, very important for the sport.
Whatever Dana says I’ll do, I never chose opponents and I won’t do it now. But he made the challenge and I’m accepting it. I just don’t wanna wait for the UFC Rio to come back, I wanna fight first, he added.
