Vitor Belfort is looking swole before his ONE Championship debut

At 43, Vitor Belfort is looking like a phenom all right.

Belfort (26-14), the former UFC light heavyweight champion, is expected to make his ONE Championship debut later this year against Alain Ngalani. It will be his first fight since hanging up his gloves in May 2018.

The date, location and weight in which the bout will be contested are yet to be announced, but Ngalani does fight at heavyweight.

In the meantime, Belfort has been putting in some serious work at the gym and is looking absolutely jacked, shades of the Belfort that ran through the UFC middleweight division in 2013.

O diabo não tem sentimentos, é por isso que ele não se importa com seus sentimentos, ele apenas age em sua cabeça, porque apenas a cabeça governa. @belfortfitnesslifestyle @bflwestboca
