Former light heavyweight champion, Vitor Belfort claims he was a lamb when he should have been a lion against rival, Jon Jones during their 205 pound title clash back in 2012, lamenting a stunning failed armbar attempt on the current heavyweight champion in the opening round.
Belfort, an alum of the UFC, retired from professional mixed martial arts competition back in 2018, suffering a hellacious opening round front kick KO loss to compatriot and fellow former light heavyweight gold holder, Lyoto Machida in their native Brazil.
As for Jones, the former undisputed light heavyweight champion and current heavyweight gold holder, has been sidelined through a pectoral tendon tear back in November, seeing a scheduled heavyweight title fight defense against Stipe Miocic at UFC 295 fall to the wayside at Madison Square Garden as a result.
