Gegard Mousasi Wants to Fight Vitor Belfort in Japan

Belfort is coming off a devastating loss to UFC middleweight champ Chris Weidman at UFC 187, and Mousasi believes a matchup with The Phenom is the right move for both of their careers right now.

@vitorbelfort & I both have a following in Japan. As long as we have a clean fight, I'm in! Time is now! @danawhite pic.twitter.com/8DFjUJXLvM

To Mousasi's point, both men have competed extensively in Japan in the past, so a fight there under the UFC banner would likely draw some local interest.
