Quick read

In 2015, Vitor Belfort pursued what would have been UFC's first triple championship at UFC 187, even releasing commemorative T-shirts before his middleweight title fight against Chris Weidman. Despite entering on a strong run that included finishes of Anthony Johnson, Luke Rockhold, Michael Bisping, and Dan Henderson, Belfort was stopped by Weidman. Now, at the same age of 38, Alex Pereira is attempting to become only the second fighter in UFC history to chase a third simultaneous title, this time as the betting favorite.
