VIDEO: UFC Breakthrough: Vitor “The Phenom” Belfort

When former UFC light heavyweight champion Vitor Belfort made his return to the octagon at UFC 103 after a four-year absence, he showed exactly why he is nicknamed “The Phenom”.

Belfort fought Rich Franklin in the main event of UFC 103 in Dallas, TX, and put on one of his most dominant performances to date, knocking out the former UFC middleweight champion in the first round. The win proved Belfort as a threat to anyone in the UFC and he will be looking to use the same knockout power he showed against Franklin in his next fight when he takes on Jon Jones in the main event of UFC 152 on Sept. 22.

Watch as the Brazilian knockout artist recalls the Franklin fight and breaks down one of the defining moments of his career in “UFC Breakthrough: Vitor Belfort”.
