Vitor Belfort Tells Nate Marquardt He’s up For Rematch in Neutral Territory

By FCF Staff

Since Vitor Belfort was awarded a decision win over Nate Marquardt at UFC 212, the latter’s argued the Brazilian star benefitted from the fact the fight went down in Rio de Janeiro. Now, Belfort has responded to the American, and has relayed he’s open to a rematch.

In response to comments Marquardt’s made about the competitive bout, Belfort recently posted this on Instagram:

I respect @natemarquardt a lot but finding excuses for a loss it is not right. I won the fight for sure and fighting in Brazil doesn't make a difference for the organization and the judges. As far as I'm concerned UFC is a international organization that has events and staff all over the world. But if you want to do it again. I am down for it!! Let's fight in a neutral ground, so you can't complain about hometown advantage. I will make sure that the fight will not go to the last round! Let's do it!! Respeito muito o @natemarquardt mas ficar procurando desculpa para uma derrota não é legal. Eu venci a luta com certeza e lutar no Brasil ou em outro qualquer lugar do mundo não faz diferença para a organização ou para os juízes. Pq até onde eu saiba o UFC é uma organização internacional que promove eventos em vários países e também tem uma equipe espalhada por todos continentes. Mas se vc quer lutar outra vez, por mim tudo bem! Eu topo! Vamos lutar em campo neutro, aí vc não vai poder reclamar de lutar no país de ninguém. Na próxima vou garantir q a luta não vá para as mãos dos juízes. Vamos lutar!!
