Until UFC 102, Vitor Belfort was the only Brazilian to ever defeat Randy Couture. Back to the biggest MMA event in the world,Belfort will do the UFC 103’s main event against Rich Franklin, but was excited about a possible rematch against Randy Couture, who defeated him twice.

“That’s not a bad idea”, said Belfort, when he thought about the possible fight against The Natural, leaving the decision with Dana White and Joe Silva. “Whatever has to happen, will happen… If Dana White and the fans want it, what can I do? I’ll fight him and try to invert the score”, said the Brazilian, without risking any thoughts about the fight. “How do I think it’d be? Just put us there, my friend… That’s how we see the things”.

Set to return to the UFC in a catch weight bout against Franklin, Belfortsaid he’s going to return to the UFC as a middleweight, but with Couture’s decision to move to light heavyweight again, the fight can actually happen in the future.
