"I earn more than I need and less than I deserve" - Vitor Belfort




Outspoken as usual, Vitor Belfort was another one among many UFC fighters to express their opinions on how much the UFC pays its athletes. "The Phenom" painted quite the enigmatic picture to drive his point home as he looked back on a conversation he had with his son.

"One day my son asked me how much money I made. I thought about it and told him I earn more than I need and less than I deserve" He told Combate. "And that's how I see it. More than I need and way less than I deserve. I believe in it, that's how I see how much I'm worth. That's life no matter if you agree with it or not. The important thing is to honor your work and do it as if you earned more than what you do. I always tell my son that if he works hard and gives his best, someday he'll be noticed. That's how I think."
Much respect to Vitor for having such a positive attitude, and teaching his son the importance of work ethic. Can you imagine what Little Vitor is going to be like in about 15 years, if he follows his dad's footsteps? Maybe we eventually see Little Vitor vs. Little Wand in the octagon one day :)

Love Vitor, man. I like how he's always trying to drop some jewels on you. It's going to be a glorious day when he takes out Weidman.
I've given my thoughts on this on quoted thread from above, Weidman is going to actually kill him (commit murder, but under Nevada State athletic commission rules this won't be punishable in a court of law)........no 2 ways about it. Strong Island rules..........or if Veetor wins, I'll be lining up to drug test him from the moment he leaves the octagon....

Easy for Vitor to say. He's been rich for years from endeavors outside MMA.

Translation: After so many failed tests, I'm lucky to have a job.

He popped once for steroids eons ago, and once for OOC elevated T levels.
Anderson Silva popped hot for more in the last 5 months.

Hence the reason i didn't nominate him for TMC HOF, or vitor for that matter. Popping hot for PED's should be an automatic disqualifier imo.

Dats crazy doh.

It's all relative, politics, $$$$ driven.
If every fighter who's ever taken a banned substance were exempt from the HOF, I'm not even sure we wouldn't be looking at a blank list.

Yeah, I get it you, but from an ideoligical standpoint, athletic commisions are the corrupt politicians.
I wouldn't align them having anything to do with an MMA HOF.
