UFC 133 will mark the organization’s return to Philadelphia and according to UFC President Dana Whilte, we’ve already got one great battle to look forward to. In an interview with ESPN, White said that verbal agreements are in place for a middleweight battle between Yoshihiro Akiyama and Vitor Belfort.
Akiyama is riding high on three consecutive “Fight of the Night” performances. Belfort will be returning to the Octagon for the first time since his first-round knockout loss to Anderson Silva at UFC 126.
UFC 133 will take place August 6th at the Wells Fargo Center.
