Alex Pereira chasing history Vitor Belfort once pursued — a third UFC title at 38

In 2015, Vitor Belfort attempted to become the first three-division UFC champion at UFC 187, even printing commemorative T-shirts ahead of his middleweight title challenge against Chris Weidman, but was stopped by knockout. Now, at the same age of 38, Alex Pereira is making his own bid to become a three-division champion, this time as a clear favorite.
