Vitor Belfort: “I Fight Weidman or the Winner of Lombard vs Boetsch”

STUDIO MMA, LOS ANGELES – Vitor Belfort is attached to the UFC 153 card that takes place on October 13, 2012 at the HSBC Arena in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. UFC hasn’t announced the official fight card yet nor signed an opponent for the “Phenom” and when Tatame.com interviewed Belfort, he said the following:

”(Chris) Weidman, or the winner of the Cuban vs. (Tim) Boetsch,” said Belfort to Tatame. ”I’m waiting for my confirmation on the Rio card, see who’s gonna be my opponent. Nobody send me anything yet. I believe I’ll get an answer on that next week. Muñoz has no guard, he’s not a jiu-jitsu fighter. That’s a wrestler vs. wrestler match-up, who got to the top position would win. He was tagged, that’s it. I don’t care what [Weidman's] gonna do. I know what I’m gonna do: Go for the knockout or the submission.”
