Report: Vitor Belfort vs. Gegard Mousasi set for UFC 204

It looks like Gegard Mousasi will finally get his wish. After years of asking, Vitor Belfort has finally agreed to fight him. According to Globo, the bout will go down at UFC 204 in Manchester, England on October 8th.

Mousasi (39-6-2, 6-3 UFC) is coming off a big first-round KO win over Thiago Santos atUFC 200. He has won four out of his last five overall. He has been requesting a bout with Belfort since his return to the UFC, claiming that the former light heavyweight champion is ducking him.

Belfort (25-12, 14-8 UFC) had won four of five until he met Ronaldo Souza at UFC 198, who finished him with strikes in the first round of their bout.

While the UFC hasn’t confirmed UFC 204 yet, it is expected to take place in the UK and feature a UFC middleweight title fight between Michael Bisping and Dan Henderson as the headliner. This bout could very well serve as the co-main event of the evening.
