Det har gått 5,5 år sedan Anderson Silva besegrade Vitor Belfort i en match som de flesta minns för det fina avslutet, som enligt många är ett av de snyggaste knockouterna någonsin. Belfort har sedan den dagen krävt en re-match mot Silva, men den matchen har dock aldrig blivit av.
I en nygjord intervju med Combate berättar Belfort att han fortfarande vill möta Silva och han tror att matchen skulle dra storpublik.
I have interest in any fight. A fight that has a meaning, but I think this would be a money fight, yes. I have interest in big fights, and this would be a big fight, for sure. It has to be something that pleases all three sides: Anderson, Vitor and the UFC.
The UFC does super fights. Like this one they did with Nate Diaz and Conor McGregor. If they want to do it, they have what it takes. I think that, in fact, it’s a matter of negotiation, and I’d say we’re also in a good phase. We did a lot for the sport and I believe this would be a good time for both of us to profit if something like this happens
