Things are always complicated in the world of Vitor Belfort. The legend has always been a threat in the cage, but he has confounded people with contradictory statements and bizarre behavior throughout most of his career. The last few years have been no different, with his TRT saga and a few different battles with UFC president Dana White.
So when it comes to the idea of him possibly retiring, it should come as no surprise that the story has taken a few twists and turns.
When Belfort lost to Kelvin Gastelum at a Brazilian Fight Night event in March, he stated that he wanted to take one more fight in Rio at UFC 212, then walk away from the sport.
