    Strange turn of events. Belfort has reportedly turned down the opportunity to fight for an interim title against Lyoto Machida.

    If that is the case I can't see him accepting a fight with Mousasi.

    The inside of Belfort's head must be an "interesting" place.

    DFW claims that Belfort demanded an interim title fight then turned it down. But DFW is a liar so who knows?

    DFW told everyone he had a big announcement to make tonight and apparently Belfort hadn't agreed to anything, so naturally DFW is taking it out on him for spoiling his moment.

    Munoz, who's lost three of four.

    Machida vs Mousasi for the interim belt. Make it so DFW! Maybe it should be called the "no-dick-tucking-allowed" belt.

    Mark Munoz? I swear Belfort has zero pride.:blink:

    Why go interim already? Weidman has only been out for 6-7 months right?

    He's pulled out of a fight with Belfort three times but you're right it is too early for an interim title.

    IT's are dumb anyway. Basically a belt for the number one contender to wear to show he's the number one contender (which he probably was anyway to get the interim title fight).

    Another report suggests Belfort would also have fought Yoel Romero.
