While watching the TUF finale, Dana White tlaked about upcoming matched. I spoke about the 185 weight class and finidng some good people in that division to challenge Anderson Silva.

He then mentioned one of my favorite fighters Vitor Belfort being a great challenge for Silva in the upcoming future. Yes, Belfort has moved from 205 to 185 and it would be a great match up to see especially seeing how dominant he was in his Affliction fights last/this year. Belfort has trained at Xtreme Couture and I wonder what prelim talks has Belfort had with Dana. It must have been something significant if he mentioned him during the TUF finale as a challenger to Silva.

There maybe a delay since Belfort is scheduled to take on Brazilian Jorge Santiago in August on the Affliction: Trilogy card.

I liked Vitor. He seemed to pretty much dominate in his earlier UFC fights. With some time away from the UFC, it'd be interesting to see how he'd do against the fighters in his weight class.
