Vitor Belfort recovering faster than expected, to return ``very soon''
Middleweight contender Vitor Belfort, forced to withdraw last month from an April matchup with middleweight champion Anderson Silva due to a shoulder injury, says he is recovering faster than expected from surgery that was to sideline him until the end of the year and plans to return ``very soon.''
Anthony Johnson vs. Vitor Belfort is officially on for tonight's UFC 142 co-main event after Johnson weighed in at 204.2 pounds earlier today, just under the 205 pound requirement made after he missed the middleweight limit by 11 pounds on Friday.
