Having announced his final UFC fight last June, Vitor Belfort will appear in the Octagon one last time in early 2018.
We now know that he will face Uriah Hall on January 14.
Belfort (26w, 13l, 1nc) is a former welterweight UFC champion, and has been a contender three other times. He was coming off three consecutive losses in the UFC, but the latest, against Kelvin Gastelum, was changed to a no-contest after Gastelum tested positive for marijuana. Then Belfort beat Nate Marquardt at UFC 212, in what was going to be his farewell bout.
Hall (13w, 8l) is coming off a win over Krzysztof Jotko in September, but previously he wasn’t doing so hot in the middleweight division, having lost to Robert Whittaker, Derek Brunson and Gegard Mousasi.
