It looks like that Vitor Belfort wants Wanderlei Silva’s “number one ticket”.

Few hours after “The Axe Murderer” calling out Vitor Belfort in exclusive interview with TATAME, we 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 (White) 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.

Will Brian Stann wait, and the UFC set the rematch between former UFC and Pride champions? It’s up to you now, Dana White.



Gee i can hardly wait... This is the equivalent of when Couture fought Coleman.

 

I'd like Belfort to be the opponent for Sonnen's comeback, whenever that is. I think Belfort would really test Chael.

 

okami should fight wandy. big profile fight to make up for not getting his title shot

 

Belfort-Wandi would make A LOT of sense as one of the top matches of UFC Brazil.

 

A Belfort/Wanderlai reamatch would be great!

 

**** id like to see belfort **** him up again, and he will wandy is so ****en shot

 

Chances are the fight would look a lot like Randy/Belfort III.

 

Vitor would knock him out but Vitor is the Zab Judah of MMA.

 

I hope this fight happens in UFC Brazil......in august

 

:thumbsup Very good comparison.

 

wow totally forgot about vitor wandy 1
such a long time ago

 

That's actually a good comparison but I think Belfort has grown in character over the past few years whereas Judah has not.Vitor's loss to Silva wasn't due to a lack of character - but a technical miscalculation.

 

That would be a good fight. i would love to see this fight.

 

i think belfort would be way to fast, look at what frankloin did to wandy, belfort smoked franklin, i just dont want wandy to get ktfo, il take belfort by ko or decision

 

The fight makes sense, though it may have a similar outcome as when they fought. Wanderlei is still susceptible to fast counters, and Vitor is still fast.

I really don't want to see Wanderlei vs Stann at this point. I think Stann may have too much for Wanderlei at this point, and there are some younger fighters, like Markquardt and Munoz, to match him up with. Wanderlei is still relevant, and it would be a good win. I just don't care to see it without Wanderlei winning an impressive fight first.
