Vitor Belfort Lists Michael Bisping and Nick Diaz As Opponents He Wants

In an interview with Giro Combate (via MMA Fighting), Vitor Belfort revealed Michael Bisping and Nick Diaz as opponents he’d like to face next. Here are highlights:

On a possible rematch with Anderson Silva: “I know the UFC has sat down to do big fights. I never had anything personal against Anderson. Quite the opposite. That fight with me changed the history of MMA. I know how important that fight was. But it’s a fight fans absolutely wanna see. I think the UFC is willing to sit and negotiate. I think they will make a lot of money, so we can make a lot of money, right?”

On a fight with Diaz: “Nick Diaz is a good fight. I would like this fight. He’s a guy with good boxing and good ground game, so it will be a good challenge.”

On possible fights with Bisping and Weidman: “I would love to fight him. I’d give him another head kick. I know he doesn’t have a fight, doesn’t want to fight anyone. He’s picking a rematch, right? He chose Dan Henderson. He chose Dan Henderson to fight, so I’m offering myself. He doesn’t want to fight ‘Jacare’ (Souza), so let’s do this rematch. The UFC is doing a lot of rematches, and he has this fight stuck (in his throat). He tried to avenge that loss to Dan Henderson and only wins robbed decisions. I will put an end to this. I won’t let it go to the judges. I’ll give him another head kick. Weidman would also be a good option, too. A rematch, (a fight that is) stuck in my throat. That’s it. I think it’s the year of the rematches. The UFC is going in this direction right now. Fight that fans want to see.”
