With One Fight Left on Contract, Vitor Belfort Wants to End Career at UFC 212 in Rio

Vitor Belfort knows the end of his mixed martial arts career is close, and he has a pretty good idea of where and when he’d like his swan song to be.

Belfort lost in emphatic fashion at UFC Fight Night 106, as he was knocked down twice en route to suffering a first-round technical knockout loss to Kelvin Gastelum in the evening’s headliner at the Olympic Training Center in Fortaleza, Brazil, on Saturday. “The Phenom” has now lost four of his last five bouts since 2015, with all of those defeats coming via knockout or technical knockout.
