Update on Vitor Belfort ONE debut:
Vitor Belfort is a legend of MMA and he isn’t done just yet! Belfort recently signed with ONE Championship and things are now a little clearer on when he will debut thanks to an update from CEO Chatri Sityodtong.
“I believe it will be this year, we’re still trying to wrap things up on that end, but stay tuned for some big news in the very near future.” (Via an interview with BJPenn.com)
Little is known about Belfort’s plans with ONE. He has mentioned an interest in competing in a mixed rule fight with pro boxer Roy Jones Jr. but other than that we don’t even know what weight class he intends to compete in.
