Marquardt asked for a rematch with Belfort in the United States after feeling he “clearly won” at least two rounds against the Brazilian at UFC 212, which took place in Rio de Janeiro on June 3. “The Phenom” disagrees with Marquardt about the decision, but is willing to meet him a second time.
"I respect [Marquardt] a lot but finding excuses for a loss it is not right,” Belfort posted on his Instagram. "I won the fight for sure and fighting in Brazil doesn't make a difference for the organization and the judges. As far as I'm concerned UFC is a international organization that has events and staff all over the world.
