Mousasi: ‘Where’s Vitor? Where’s the lion?’

With recent news that UFC 184 had lost it’s main event, several top UFC middleweights were hoping to cash-in.

One of those middleweight’s was Gegard Mousasi, who accepted the UFC’s offer to fill in for Chris Weidman, against Vitor Belfort, only to be turned down by “The Phenom.”

He took to twitter to vent his frustrations:

The fans have been hitting me up like crazy. I hear them and I will strep up to fight @vitorbelfort @ufc 184!! @danawhite @arielhelwani

@vitorbelfort criticized @lyotomachidafw for not fighting j jones on short notice. But he won't fight us on short notice. Where is the lion?
