Manager: Vitor Belfort interested in fights with Wanderlei Silva, Chael Sonnen

It seems like Vitor Belfort won’t retire after all, and his team already has plans for his future in the sport after UFC 212.

“The Phenom” recently said he will "continue competing" after the last bout of his contract with the UFC, his upcoming clash with Nate Marquardt on June 3 in Rio de Janeiro. His manager Gustavo Lacerda has some options in mind for the Brazilian.

Lacerda told MMA Ganhador podcast that Belfort wasn’t so excited anymore about fighting in the past, but "he lit up his fire again,” and that explains his change of heart about retirement.
