Vitor Belfort: 'Let's do it -- I accept Wanderlei Silva's challenge'

Quoteworthy:

"Let's do it, brother. I accept it, He’s a great athlete, a great champion, and it would be a pleasure to fight him. It’d be a highly anticipated fight, very important for the sport. Whatever Dana (White) says I’ll do, I never chose opponents and I won’t do it now. But he made the challenge and I’m accepting it. I just don’t wanna wait for the UFC Rio to come back, I wanna fight first."

Wanderlei Silva said he would like to move Vitor Belfort to the front of the considerable line of fighters who want to challenge him and "The Phenom" has answered the call. Although ultimately it's up to company President Dana White, both fighters have verbally agreed to slug it out. Of course, Brian Stann is currently set to throw leather against "The Axe Murderer" at UFC 130 but it's not like the organization hasn't pulled the old in-and-out before. Would a match-up of two exciting Brazilian brawlers, one with a score to settle, be enough to pull the rug out from under "All American?" Or is this just talk, no matter how exciting it may be?
