Vitor Belfort is focused on fighting Lyoto Machida on Saturday at UFC Rio 9 at Arena da Barra. The confrontation - the last of the "Phenomenon" as a member of the Ultimate - marks his farewell to the franchise, but the carioca leaves the doors open in relation to his future as an athlete. He even believes he has missed facing Fedor Emelianenko, one of the greatest heavyweights in history - and guarantees that he would still like to face him.

Asked about the active fighter he would like to face, Vitor Belfort cites the name of Fedor whom, according to him, narrowly did not measure forces for about ten years, at Affliction.

- Fedor ... It was a fight that was going to happen at Affliction. The guy he was going to fight, I think it was Josh Barnett, he did not fight. I was going to fight against Jorge Santiago and they asked me, "Do you fight Fedor?" I said, "Logical." And it turned out not to have happened. Fedor is a legend as well. This was a fight that looking ... our, it was going to be so cool, it was a very personal challenge. Fedor was at his peak, he had never lost anyone. At the time, everyone said, "You're crazy!" I said, "Calm down, easy." I was known as crazy since I was little. He is singled out as one of the greatest in history - he told Combat.com.

Asked if he would face Fedor Emelianenko in his opponents' home, Russia, a country that has attracted Brazilian fighters due to the massive exchanges, Belfort got excited.

- (Laughter) Russia is full of money, which will not be lacking is money to pay for this fight.

Although he considers Fedor Emelianenko as one of the best in history, Vitor Belfort avoids placing himself in the gallery of the top MMA fighters of all time.

In their primes they both had crazy reflexes and I don’t remember anyone dominating Vitor in the first few minutes of a fight…that being said, they’re pretty much on the opposite ends of the spectrum as far as the mental ability to handle adversity in a fight.

Vitor on special vitimans is the apex predator of MMA. Belfort by head kick KO R1.

Vitro fighting Fedor in Russia... I have a strong feeling we would see the old muscle mass return and Fedor would have his hands full with ped Vitor. If they showed up in the current state of no ped Vitor... Fedor blasts him.

pretty sure Fedor destroys him regardless. He would have minimum 30lb on Belfort fight night. All he would need to do is get into clinch and he can work Vitor anyway he wants from there.

As long as fedors chin can hold up I believe he can win

Vitor only won when he was juiced to the gills.

He,like Cyborg,should be banned from ever fighting again.

Fuck off you Brazillian juice monkeys.

I look forward to seeing Belfort in 6 monthes or so, roided to the enth degree, 225lbs of pure muscle...

Fuck, give me roided Belfort vs Pudz as a warm up before Fedor.

1) Prime Fedor beats Prime Vitor. 

2) Did Vitor get more tattoos?

There’s a reason Team Fedor didn’t accept that fight; Vitor was fast and furious with Couture in his corner.

And he was the perfect weight.

Fedor didn’t have any reason then, nor does he now, to take that fight.

It’s bad stylistically, monetarily, and possibly historically.
