Vitor Belfort’s Surprise Begins To Unfold
 Vitor Belfort’s Surprise Begins to Unfold By Eduardo Alonso
A few "Brazilian Beat" editions back, Vitor Belfort mentioned to FCF that he would be announcing a surprise soon that would most likely please his fans, and now as March comes to an end the surprise is finally beginning to unfold and reveal itself. In a partnership with Cuban trainer and fighter Eugenio Fuentes, with the support of the Military Police of the state of Sao Paulo through its Sports Association, Belfort is putting together an amazing training center for fighters, and his new team: The Brazil Fight Club in the city of Sao Paulo, Brazil. Some of the facilities are still being built, but the project is amazing and will most likely result in the biggest and best training center for fighters in South America! Among the facilities are several swimming pools, tennis courts, soccer fields, basketball courts, a bowling alley and more! Plus, in regards to fighting it will have an official boxing ring, huge mats for grappling, a weight-training room only for fighters [and another one for general people] and even a huge octagon! Construction workers are constantly laboring on the building of the facilities, and in the next few weeks everything will be ready to receive fighters and the general public. If all of that’s not enough, the center also has two arenas (one capable of holding more than 5,000 spectators) intended to host fighting events of all sorts. |
