‘Jacare’ Souza’s manager criticizes Vitor Belfort for picking opponents, offers to replace him in interim title bout your sports feeder

Vitor Belfort was offered an interim title bout with Lyoto Machida when Chris Weidman pulled out from UFC 184 with a rib injury, but “The Phenom” turned down the fight. Fellow middleweight contender Ronaldo Souza is willing to step up and replace him against anyone if that’s what the UFC wants.

Souza is undefeated in the UFC with four wins in a row, capped off by a third-round submission over Gegard Mousasi. Jacare’s manager Gilbert Faria believes that an interim title has to be created after another injury from the middleweight champion, and Belfort should not choose who he wants to fight.

Pacquiao vs. Algieri results: Manny Pacquiao bludgeons Chris Algieri to take unanimous decision victory

Manny Pacquio retained his WBO welterweight title Saturday night against Chris Algieri, battering the American over twelve rounds to take a unanimous decision victory 119-103, 119-103, 120-102. The bout took place at the Venetian Macau in Macau, China and aired in North America on HBO pay-per-view.

Pacquiao’s victory was never in doubt and, at times, it seemed as if the end was near for Algieri as he suffered six knockdowns over the course of the bout. He was able to answer the standing eight count each time, but could never really get any measure of consistent offense going.

Chris Weidman worried Vitor Belfort won"t make it to UFC 184 date

LAS VEGAS – UFC middlweight champion Chris Weidman can’t sugar-coat it: He’s nervous Vitor Belfort isn’t going to make it to their Feb. 28 date at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.

In order to get his shot at the undefeated Weidman’s title, Belfort will have to pass random, unannounced drug tests. The first of these were administered by the Nevada Athletic Commission a couple weeks back, the results of which have yet to be revealed (Nevada is testing even though the bout is in California because the drug tests were a condition of his being re-licensed in the state).
