UFC middleweight Vitor Belfort doesn’t know if he’ll be called upon to fight the winner of the UFC 162 main event between champion Anderson Silva and unbeaten contender Chris Weidman, but he definitely expects a nod to come his way. “The Phenom” is 4-0 at 185 pounds since falling to Silva in 2011 including knockouts of Michael Bisping and Luke Rockhold.
Belfort spoke to USA Today about the likelihood of him fighting for a title in the immediate future, leaving the decision up to his employers in hopes his recent run of success will score him the shot.
“Dana White, Lorenzo Fertitta, they are promoters, and I respect them very much. Right now, I haven’t heard from them, and I don’t know what’s going on, but I’ve served the organization very well.”
“I’m fighting in main events, winning fights, shocking everybody. I’m right there, and they know that. Now it’s just waiting to see if I’ve done enough.”
“You cannot go against results, so look at my results. That’s what I mean. Some people earn, and some people don’t. They try to get there without earning it. I believe in every area of my life, I earn — and I earn through the glory of God.”
