UFC middleweight contender Vitor Belfort (23-10 MMA, 12-6 UFC) heard Dana White’s explanation for why a rematch with Anderson Silva (33-4 MMA, 16-0 UFC) might not happen, but he’s not buying the logic for one second. “It’s incredible how it seems as though Anderson is the one picking his opponents,” Belfort told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com). “My spot is the highest of any division contender in the UFC, and it is only logical and fair for me to be given a shot at the title. “Why is it that I don’t have a title shot? Just because one time, Anderson happened to land a kick? I can assure you that given a second chance, that would never happen again.” UFC middleweight champion Silva headlines this weekend’s UFC 162 in event at Las Vegas’ MGM Grand Garden Arena, where he defends the belt against undefeated challenger Chris Weidman (9-0 MMA, 5-0 UFC)
