21 years later, Pride, Bellator and UFC veteran Wanderlei Silva still has not given up on rematching Vitor Belfort after the ‘Phenom’ knocked him out in 44 seconds back at UFC Brazil in October 1998. However, now that the ‘Axe Murderer’ has been released from his Bellator contract, he would like to take on his rival under a now promotion - Bare Knuckle FC.
According to a report by FanSided, the 43-year-old has signed a contract with the promotion, but no fights involving Wanderlei were announced yet. In an interview with Ag Fight, Silva, said he was invited to watch one of the promotion’s upcoming events, and finds the concept interesting.
