Vitor Belfort: Ronda Rousey is a shark that swims alone in the ocean

SAO PAULO – The first and only UFC women’s bantamweight champion puts her title on the line Saturday in Melbourne, and a fellow UFC star believes there’s no competition for her inside the Octagon.

Vitor Belfort, who held the UFC light heavyweight championship in 2004 and won a heavyweight tournament in 1997, is a fan of "Rowdy’s" success since joining the promotion in 2013

"Ronda is a shark that swims alone in the ocean," Belfort told the media during UFC Fight Night 77 fight week in Sao Paulo, Brazil, days before knocking out Dan Henderson for a second time.
