Vitor Belfort Confirms That Forrest Griffin Turned Down Bout With Him | UFC NEWS
“I met with Forrest and he told me that he volunteered for a list of six names and mine was the first. He said he would face any of them except me. It’s good to have this kind of recognition. I am here to serve the company. My weight, my category, are the medium. I am adaptable. But I do not have much time left in my career and I want to have great challenges, be in whichever weight it will be. I can make great fights and don’t run from anybody, I’ll be always ready.”

like you were ready to Bones… you were afraid as a little baby alone in the market.
SHUT UP! If you felt Belfort was a scared girl in the cage with him You would’ve been in a fetal position like a bitch. I can’t stand idiots like you.
+1
how was Belfort scared of Bones? he’s one of the few that stepped up…ignorant comment on your part
like you were ready against Jones!!! scared like a little baby girl in the market..
Big Show, you don’t leave your real name – you are one the massive pussies that have the nerve to call out real fighters. Where’s Pat Barry web ya need him.
Talk about fighters like they’re standing right in front of you. You’re a ***** bitch and you need to pick a new sport to complain about.
Keep talking….Guys like you probably never trained a day in his life…all talk!!!!
Scared to fight Jones?
Took the fight on short notice when nobody else would take it. And fought with a broken hand.
@ big show. Ur an idiot. Dana went to six other fighters to fight jones and they said NO and vitor stepped up when no one else would. At least he tried when no one else would. So he wasnt scared u idiot. Get ur facts straight.
Anybody who steps up and is ready to fight anyone at any time, especially in multiple weight classes, gets such a +1 from me, and deserves the respect of any and everyone, straight up. Whether you like the fighter, their personality, their style, their record, or whatever, to be willing to throw down with anyone makes you a stud, and respect is owed up front. Props to the Belforts of this sport.
I’m not saying I can beat Forrest Griffin but he doesn’t belong in the ufc with the worlds elite I don’t think he could win a bellator tourn
you are out of your mind, he almost finished jones. the ufc champ on 8 days in a weight class above his normal class. he would also destroy a bellator tourny
Forrest Griffin never had a match with jones kid you might be retarded but don’t worry god still loves you and so does Anderson Coper
Forest!!!!!! not Vitor
Forrest Griffin is a turd
