Vitor Belfort cannot complain of having a lack of variety of experience. Believeing in professionalism to win in such a competitive sport, the Carlson Gracie black belt trained over a few weeks in Chute Boxe, in Curitiba, Brazil; at Gracie Fusion with Roberto Gordo, and now is setting up shop in the gym of an old rival. With a fight set for the 19th, against American Terry Martin at Affliction, Belfort made his way to Las Vegas, more specifically to Randy Couture's gym, Xtreme Couture, according to the team's official site. In the gambling capital of the world, Vitor added some final touches with his next challenge in mind.
"Captain American" and the "Phenomenon" have already faced each other on three occasions in the octagon, with two wins for the American and one for the Brazilian. The other news, which came about today, about Belfort's participation in Affliction, is that his fight will be part of the main card to be broadcast on Fox Sports Network, live, for American cable television subscribers.
