"For sure, I want the title but the decision doesn't belong to me. I've been there. I won the [heavyweight] title when I was 19 years old. I won in a different division in 2004 (light heavyweight). I've accomplished so many things in my career. I don't let titles and positions and fame overcome my life and take over me... In life you always have two choices to make. You either live bitter, angry or you live in a happy life, you enjoy it. So I try to always see a positive on that. So whatever is what's the best. I'm not disappointed. I have to take it... We work for the UFC and whatever is the best for them. For sure I would like to fight in the U.S. but it's a joy to go outside of the country and fight in front of fans. They hardly get to see the fights live... I'm fighting for joy. For me to perform well, I need to be happy. I need to enjoy working with the people that I'm working with. And that's what I'm concerned after this fight. I want to be happy to go back again in the gym, to train, to learn and to perform well for the fans, the UFC and everybody around the world watching. That's what I'm concerned [of] and that's what I'm worried about. The title is just a consequence."
-Vitor Belfort talks to Ariel Helwani on MMAFighting.com's "The MMA Hour" about being alright with getting skipped over for a title shot and fighting outside of the U.S. at UFC 122.
Penick's Analysis: It's nice to hear Belfort's attitude here. Taking a tough fight with Yushin Okami means no guaranteed win here in November, but if he gets past him he should get his crack at the Silva vs. Sonnen II winner. Vitor's had a long career in the sport already, and like he said he has accomplished a lot in that time. But he's not past his prime, and a big win in another UFC main event will be huge for him.
