Vitor Belfort waited more than a year to face Chris Weidman for the middleweight belt. Well, he probably wants some of that time back right now.
While the Brazilian striker had the champ on wobbly legs for a split second during their UFC 187 bout, the deflated middleweight was unable to seal the deal.
Weidman recovered, scored a perfectly timed takedown and quickly took mount. From there, he poured on hammerfists and elbows with impunity. Belfort turtled and the ref called the fight off two minutes and 53 seconds into Round 1.
Now, it's back to the drawing board for Belfort.
