Vitor Belfort names ‘big’ opponent, will make ONE debut at heavyweight

Former UFC light heavyweight champion Vitor Belfort has not called it a career just yet.

In talks with ONE Championships for the past couple of months, the ‘Phenom’ actually already has an opponent lined up to fight him, but needs to wait for the coronavirus pandemic to be under control before the company can set up a date for his return to mixed martial arts.

All healed up from a difficult shoulder surgery, Belfort talked about his next opponent in an interview with YouTube channel Asian MMA, Cameroonian striker Alain Ngalani, which Vitor will take on in a heavyweight match.
