Vitor Belfort lyckades under natten besegra Nate Marquardt via ett enhälligt domslut, då de möttes under UFC 212. Efter matchen meddelade Vitor att han planerar att gå fler matcher, och vill nu att de ska äga rum i UFC:
Detta hade Belfort att säga via presskonferensen:
That’s the place I want to be, and a lot of things we can change. We can come with the legends league. A lot of things can change. I have a great team that represents me, and I’m sure my role is to make the UFC not only entertaining, but a great sport. We both have to grow together – the fighters and the UFC.
I wanted to knock him out, and I hurt him pretty bad in the second and third round. He was throwing some kicks just to buy time. But I wanted to fight three rounds. We are reinventing Vitor Belfort again, so we are changing a lot of things in the game. There were a lot of things I was doing wrong.
