The only way Vitor Belfort is getting his coveted 'Lion vs. Lion' match-up is if Luke Rockhold has mastered the art of Altered Beast and can shapeshift on demand. Alternatively he can inherit the power of those little toy humanoid animals with armor that came out in the 90s/80s. It's a hell of a reference, but does anyone remember those micro figures that had a small square hologram on their chest and when heat is applied via the thumb, the hologram would 'activate' and display an image of fire, a river -- maybe even wind? I know your minds liquified to porridge trying to piece together your childhood and recollect exactly what I'm referring to. I know someone out there had one -- and you better speak up or else all hope is lost.

Now that I know I'll spend the rest of the day Googling those toy things, I only have a limited amount of time to tell you Luke Rockhold vs. Vitor Belfort has been booked for UFC in Brazil according to TATAME. Of course, we have no official date -- but perhaps you should just know that it has been booked, and that should be enough for your inquisitive minds.

No not Visionaries. Those were cool but they had holograms and were about 6 inches. Hes referring to Battle Beasts when you touched their sticker the heat revealed if they were water, wind, wood, or fire.

MMA Math

Bisping beat Rockhold(sparri ng), Vitor Eats Bisping's soul, Vitor turns Rockhold to fairy dust.

Excited to see Rockhold finally get some topnotch competition.

Great matchup, this will show if Luke is ready to fight silva. Vitor is the title gatekeeper, if not for Silva he may very well be the current MW champion

I wept with joy at the battle beast reference. So did my entire collection of obscure 80s toys. Well done. Well done.
