More than 21 years after their first meeting, Vitor Belfort wants to dance again with an old foe. Belfort (26-14) who signed with ONE Championship in February, has yet to make his promotional debut and has not competed since his second-round knockout loss to Lyoto Machida at UFC 224 in May 2018, after which he briefly announced his retirement from the sport. Now looking to return to action a year after signing with ONE Championship, Belfort has called out fellow legend of the sport Wanderlei Silva for a rematch in February under the ONE banner. The two met back in 1998 at UFC Brazil, when Belfort delivered one of the biggest highlight-reel knockouts in UFC history. He marched forward and steamrolled Silva (35-14-1) in just 44 seconds. After coaching “The Ultimate Fighter: Brazil” opposite each other in 2012, Belfort and Silva were scheduled to rematch at UFC 147, but an injury forced Belfort out of the bout and the rematch never materialized
