Vitor Belfort on rematching Anderson Silva: 'I think this would be a money fight'

UFC middleweight contender Vitor Belfort is open to a rematch with former champion Anderson Silva, who memorably KO'd him with a front kick in 2010.

Six years ago, Vitor Belfort fought Anderson Silva for Silva's UFC middleweight title. In one of the most commercially successful Anderson-headlined PPVs of his career, "The Spider" shocked Belfort with a front kick to the face, followed by pinpoint accurate punches to get the 1st round KO victory. It stands to date as the only time Belfort has ever lost a fight by KO (he has lost several times by TKO, including in his last fight).
