Ultimate Fighting Championship fans saw the fall of a legend when Vitor Belfort suffered another rough knockout loss at “UFC Fight Night 106”. Kelvin Gastelum proved he has what it takes to hang with the best in the middleweight when he essentially knocked Belfort out of the top ten with his first round knockout win.
Just two years ago, Belfort was stepping into the octagon to challenge then-champion Chris Weidman for his middleweight championship. Now, Belfort is riding a three fight losing streak and is nowhere near the elite in the middleweight division. Check out the latest rankings update in the middleweight division below:
