Vitor Belfort: ‘I’ll continue competing’ in MMA after my last UFC fight

Former UFC champion Vitor Belfort is just about two weeks away from fighting Nate Marquardt at UFC 212. The 40-year-old hasn’t won in nearly two years, and the Marquardt showdown represents the last fight on his UFC contract.

Belfort will not be re-upping with the UFC after his contract is over, but will he still keep fighting or will “The Phenom” hang up the gloves after more than 20 years in the sport? Perhaps unsurprisingly, he confirmed to Veja Rio (translation via MMA Fighting) that he’s not going to retire just yet.
