Vitor Belfort will attempt to avoid back-to-back losses when he collides with fellow Top 10-ranked Middleweight contender, Gegard Mousasi, at UFC 204, which will likely take place in Manchester, England, on Oct. 8, 2016.
Combate was the first to report the 185-pound showdown, which was later confirmed by MMAFighting.com.
Belfort, 39, most recently dropped a pivotal divisional showdown to Ronaldo “Jacare” Souza via first round technical knockout at UFC 198 two months ago. “The Phenom” was hoping to get back in the title chase once again after losing to then-champion Chris Weidman at UFC 187 in May 2015.
