Quick read

Vitor Belfort came close to becoming the first three-division champion in UFC history at UFC 187, where he challenged Chris Weidman for the middleweight title. Belfort was so confident heading in that he had commemorative t-shirts printed proclaiming a third world title, but Weidman stopped him by TKO. Now, more than a decade later, Alex Pereira — also 38 years old — is attempting the same feat, this time entering the fight as the favorite.
