Belfort Back For One More Against Hall
According to long time UFC veteran Vitor Belfort, he has signed the bout agreements to fight Uriah Hall at the beginning of 2018. This coming from a post on his Instagram account this morning.
"Acabo de assinar o contrato para lutar no UFC dia 14 de Janeiro. Eu sempre busquei grandes desafios e na minha última luta no UFC não poderia ser diferente… @uriahhall será uma honra dividir o octógono com um lutador tão novo e talentoso. Obrigado por aceitar a luta! I just signed my bout agreement for January 14th at UFC. I always looked for big challenges and in my last UFC fight it couldn’t be different… @uriahhall it’s a honor to share the cage with a such young and talented fighter. Thanks for accepting the fight"
Belfort has official lost 3 of his last 5 (4 of 6 if you include the Kelvin Gastelum fight that wasn’t a fight) with all fights coming via T/KO.
After winning his last fight against Nate Marquardt by decision, many speculated that Belfort would retire or leave the UFC for a big pay day. Obviously that is not the case.
The man with the opportunity to get a name under his belt is former TUF boogeyman and knockout artist, Uriah Hall. Hall put a stop to his 3 fight skid in September with a Performance of the Night against the favored and highly touted Krysztof Jotko.
