Former UFC light heavyweight champion and current UFC middleweight contender Vitor “The Phenom” Belfort 19-8-0 (Win-Loss-Draw) recently speaks about his desire to fight James “Lights Out” Toney in a boxing match inside the Octagon. “The Phenom” is known for his blazing handspeed and knockout power inside the Octagon. He had notable knockout wins over the likes of Scott Ferrozzo, Tank Abbott, Wanderlei Silva, Matt Lindland and former UFC middleweight champ Rich “Ace” Franklin.

“Dana, let me fight James Toney on a 6 round boxing match. I think I can catch him with my speed. Dana, this will be the first boxing match in UFC and I promise he will feel my power and we will show the world that a UFC fighter can do better” Belfort said via Twitter
