“Let’s Go Bare Hands” – Former UFC Champion Has a Dangerous Proposal for Brock Lesnar

Despite not making any official statement, Brock Lesnar has grabbed the attention of a ton of fighters. After reports surfaced that Lesnar is a free agent, several fighters have already called him out. However, none of them would’ve been as edgy as that of Vitor Belfort, who is ready to fight ‘The Beast Incarnate’ without gloves.

Brock Lesnar has fought out his contract with the WWE. Being a free agent, he has the potential to return to MMA. Just the possibility of a Lesnar fight has generated several call-outs for him already. The most high-profile one being that of Jon Jones. However, the challenges aren’t restricted to only the UFC.

Former UFC light heavyweight champ, Vitor Belfort, has also put his name in the hat to go up against Lesnar. Currently signed with ONE Championship, Belfort believes Lesnar is a ‘fraud’.

“Brock Lesnar, I think you’re a fraud. But I’ll give you a chance,” Belfort said while talking to Submission Radio. “I think you’re a fraud. If you really want to fight with me, let’s go bare hands, me and you. We put the gloves; we go combat, you know? I know you’re a very tough man. I heard you’re a grappler, but I’ll fight you, man.

“I’ll fight you any day, any time, and I think that’s a legendary fight right there. But I think he’s a fraud in MMA.”

Vitor Belfort vows to make Brock Lesnar ‘pink’

The inherent nature of the fight game is such that it allows for high chances of a crossover from some other domain. Therefore, we see YouTubers square off in the ring and still get massive PPV numbers. While Belfort acknowledges this, he still doesn’t credit Lesnar for the success he had in the game.

Instead, he has high regard for someone like Jorge Masvidal or Kimbo Slice, who literally fought their way into the UFC.

“Look at what Kimbo Slice did. And some make it. I take my hats off to the gangster, (Jorge) Masvidal. Because he really paid his way, man. People don’t realize that guy paid his way. He deserves it,” Belfort said.

“So, I respect fighters that really paid their way. They deserve to be in the spotlight. But, you know, I understand he can be in the spotlight of WWE. So that’s what I mean. A fraud for MMA is this. He doesn’t deserve it, but he sells, man. Let’s go, Brock. I’ll put my hands on you. That would be nice. I’ll make him pink,” he added.

Belfort is set to make his ONE debut against hulking heavyweight Alain Ngalani. On the other hand, Lesnar hasn’t stepped inside the cage since July 2016. Although he won his last fight against Mark Hunt, the decision was later overturned as he tested positive for banned substances.
