The highly anticipated UFC middleweight title fight between current
champ Anderson Silva and explosive challenger Vitor Belfort is now
targeted for UFC 109.
The UFC had originally hoped to feature the contest at UFC 108, but
Silva’s recovery process from elbow surgery forced a delay in the
schedule.
Belfort first released news of the new date to the Portugese-language
Terra magazine’s “Mano a Mano” blog, and MMAjunkie.com has since confirmed with sources close to the bout
that verbal agreements are in place. Bout agreements have yet to
be signed.
