BELFORT VS. LINDLAND TO HAPPEN AT NEXT AFFLICTION CARD

Affliction middleweight contender Vitor Belfort has confirmed in an interview with Tatame.com that he will face Matt Lindland in a 185lb title fight at the next show for the promotion on October 11th.

Belfort suffered a broken hand in his last fight for Affliction against Terry Martin, but the former Ultimate Fighting Championship title holder doesn’t believe the injury will be a problem.

“The doctor will analyze it, but I may stay four weeks out,” Belfort said in the interview. “I’ll come back in October 11th to fight Matt Lindland for the belt”
