Vitor Belfort<\/a> and Anderson Silva<\/a> met in the Octagon at UFC 126 back in 2011 for the UFC middleweight title where Silva picked up a highlight reel knockout in the very first round.<\/p>\n

Now, over five years later, Belfort is looking to avenge the loss to Silva in a fight that he says is a profitable fight for everyone involved.<\/p>\n

“I have interest in any fight. A fight that has a meaning, but I think this would be a money fight, yes,” Belfort told Combate regarding a rematch with Silva (translated by MMA Fighting<\/a>). “I have interest in big fights, and this would be a big fight, for sure. It has to be something that pleases all three sides: Anderson, Vitor and the UFC.”<\/p>\n

With the UFC ready to head back to Brazil on September 24, Belfort expressed interest in the date.<\/p>\n

“The UFC does super fights. Like this one they did with Nate Diaz and Conor McGregor<\/a>,” he said. “If they want to do it, they have what it takes. I think that, in fact, it\u2019s a matter of negotiation, and I\u2019d say we\u2019re also in a good phase. We did a lot for the sport and I believe this would be a good time for both of us to profit if something like this happens.<\/p>\n

“The piece of the cake today can\u2019t be split only for Conor McGregor and Nate Diaz. The piece of the cake also has to come to those people who did for generations and are still here. So it all depends on the negotiation.”<\/p>\n
