UFC President Dana White today told Boston’s “Metro South Morning Show” that Belfort is the people’s choice to face the winner of Saturday’s UFC 168 main event.

“On Saturday night, if Chris Weidman wins or Anderson Silva wins, the next massive, huge fight that everyone wants to see is Vitor Belfort,” White said. “That’s what everybody wants to see.”

And since White has often admitted his job as a promoter is to “put on the fights fans want to see,” that would seem to make Belfort the de facto No. 1 contender.

It would be hard to argue that Belfort doesn’t deserve a shot at the belt. After all, in the past 12 months he’s scored three “Knockout of the Night” bonuses for his destructions of top contenders Dan Henderson, Luke Rockhold and Michael Bisping.

The most recent win came in November, when Belfort moved up to light heavyweight and became the first man to ever knockout MMA legend and former dual-division PRIDE champ Henderson. Afterward, White almost declared Belfort as the rightful No. 1 contender but stopped himself just short.

“Vitor Belfort’s next,” White said at first. “Or – I don’t know.

“You never know what happens here.… Anything could happen, but there’s nothing but big fights for Vitor.”

I don't want to watch a steroid cheat at all. The fact that he's allowed to use hgh is disgusting.

Belfort vs Weidman or Anderson would both be very interesting.

i don't wanna watch silva belfort #3... ass beating for a 3rd time right after this fight. .

I would be interested in him fighting Weidman for a chance at the belt - if Silva beats Weidman though... because I know Weidman would train harder after that lose and ko.

What the world really wants to see is Dana STFU

Vitor is still vitor trt or no trt, if he can't knock you out in the 1st or 2nd he has nothing else and will probably gas. Anderson is still too quick for him and knows him well from their training days, and weidman would decision or submit him

ViToRT would lay hammers on Weidman. That shyt ain't fair

 

[Blackking]

naw, just in 11.. but still - don't wanna see him get kicked again. Not before he faces Weidman. I think that was KO of the year w that ridiculous shyt... A real knock out.. unlike UFC 162
