Inb4 Vitor Belfort and I were never friends.
 
The guy can't even afford a decent haircut.

Jacaré is going for a long night...

We are going to see another Vintage 1st round KO
 
It's actually a good fucking interview. Why put a troll title on it? Vitor talks about losing money with the Reebok sponsorship and hints at the benefits of unions and individual sponsorships. It's excellent to hear a guy like Belfort talk about this stuff because he's a huge name. Not many of the top fighters talk about this shit and here we have one of the biggest names in the sport talking about.

It's a good interview and definitely worth a listen.

He says repeatedly he lost millions of dollars and that big companies want to sponsor him.
 
You're supporting Reebok though Vitor. Think of Reebok. Poor Reebok.

Yes I agree. I could see many fighters jumping ship to Bellator because of this.
 
I don't want to hear anything from Vitor about sponsors unless he's letting everyone know he will now be sponsored by Cheezits.

If nothing else, they owe him some money causes he's been thanking them in his post fight speeches for ages.
 
Looks like Conor's gonna have to start taking handicap matches to help these bums out.
 
Vitor has had exactly one fight since the Reebok deal has been active. Are we to believe that he was going to make "millions" of dollars in sponsorship money for that fight?

I find this hard to believe. I doubt very much that there are any MMA fighters who were earning millions just to support a specific brand during fight week.
 
More fighters may end up leaving because of this sponsorship problem. This was a very shortsighted decision by the UFC to do this. Fighters clearly are losing too much money on it.

One brand? You can easily have 5 patches on your shorts.
 
Man! Vitor cannot stick with 1 hairstyle....He now has combined the Chuck Liddell with the Zach Galifinakis.

I forget, what announcer called him "Vitor with the 15 haircuts".....Funny!
 
Vitor made some good points. I completely disagree with his point of view that fighters are being cowards for exploring the free agency landscape, though.

At the end of the day, the most important thing is to support for your family. If it means leaving the shady organization that's shamelessly ripping you off for their own benefit, then so be it.

Vitor vs Wand II in RIZIN. In Japan we'll see them both in their primes.
