Vitor Belfort Says UFC Offered Him Fight With Michael Bisping

Vitor Belfort is apparently looking toward Michael Bisping for his next — and likely final — fight. Belfort posted to Instagram targeting Bisping and saying the UFC offered them the fight and that he said yes.

“Bisping stop finding excuses,” Belfort wrote. “UFC had offered us Belfort vs Bisping 2 and I said YES. I will fight you in your hometown. How about that? Let’s make an amazing show for all the fans around the the world and retire in great fashion… Thanks UFC and Dana White for finding a way to help me with all the camp expenses and offering me this great fight. I promise you and all my fans. on March 17th in London you all will see the Phenom in the octagon. I’m leaving it all in there!”

Belfort was supposed to have his last fight at UFC Fight Night 124 against Uriah Hall, but that fight was scratched due to a health scare from Hall.
