| Alan Belcher and Vitor Belfort agree to meet at UFC 153 in Brazil Alan Belcher and Vitor Belfort agree to meet at UFC 153 in Brazil   Quote:
UFC president Dana White recently teased a few upcoming big fights in the middleweight division, and now the first of those matchups is on the schedule.
MMAjunkie.com (UFC blog for UFC news, UFC rumors, fighter interviews and event previews/recaps | MMAjunkie.com) today confirmed with sources close to the two fighters that Vitor Belfort (21-9 MMA, 10-5 UFC) and Alan Belcher (18-6 MMA, 9-4 UFC) have verbally agreed to meet on the main card of this fall's UFC 153 event.
Additionally, Belfort late Tuesday took to his Twitter account to call out Belcher for UFC 153, then said in his native Portugese that the matchup was one UFC president Dana White wanted.
Featuring a featherweight title fight between current champion Jose Aldo and challenger Erik Koch, "UFC 153: Aldo vs. Koch" takes place Oct. 13 at Rio de Janeiro's HSBC Arena.

Damn this PPV just hit bang-a-rang status! Was already hyped for Aldo/Koch. This is the perfect match for these two IMO. I'm thinking with these contenders booked we should see the announcement of Silva/Weidman in 10, 9, 8, 7,...........

Good matchup, but two of my favourite MW's in the UFC, so I'm sad one of them will have to lose.

Belcher fights smart and will outwork Vitor, taking him out of his comfort zone. Anybody who thinks Belcher is just going to stand and bang infront of Vitor doesn't have a fucking clue what they're talking about.
Great matchup.

I agree with others, I think Belcher takes this, he's been looking very impressive in his last fights and I think he's going to take it to Belfort.

This fight excites the bejesus outta me. I gotta say I'm probably 50/50 on this one. Alan is better rounded, but never under estimate a Vitor blitz. Pumped for this one.
