On Saturday at UFC 224 in Rio de Janeiro, two Brazilian legends will face off in a matchup that Scott Coker would dream of. Aged veterans Lyoto Machida (23-8) and Vitor ‘The Phenom’ Belfort (26-13-1), are scheduled to put on a show for the fans.
There is no denying that both men are legends and future hall of famers in the UFC. Despite this, each has very different plans for their future. Both Brazilians have had their recent share of ups and downs. Lyoto Machida is 2-3 in his last five bouts, while Belfort has been knocked out in 3 of his last four fights.
