Rumors of Vitor at 185, are they true?

I keep hearing rumors on sherdog about Vitor Belfort returning to the UFC at 185 this time. Any truth to this? I havnt seen any legit sources on this yet, anyone have any?

Belfort is much more interesting at 205 for me, regardless of his lack of recent success.

I would think if he comes to fight at 185, that means he would be in incredible shape. The MW division would be revitalized with him in the mix. I just don't know how true it is that he would make 185 though. But even if he stays at LHW, there are still great matchups for him.

Hopefully. Another semi-big name in the MW division can't hurt. Maybe he'll have a reawakening like Randy did and will start tearing shit up.

He's been having a "reawakening" for years now. I'll believe it when I actually see it. Vitor has been a broken record talking about a comeback for years now.

"I am the champion," said Belfort, referring to his victory over Zikic. "But they never gave me the belt. I was upset with Cage Rage. I fought with a broken hand (he recently had a pin removed from it) and not only did I not get the belt but they never even called after, they never asked if my hand was OK. They just weren't professional" so instead of resigning with the England based company Belfort has eyed the UFC's deep light heavyweight division and even said he would compete in the middleweight division that is ruled by his close friend Anderson Silva.

There's a source.

Oh boy, he can beat a few more C and B level fighters convincingly so that the nuthuggers return, and then lose to whichever A class fighter ends up fighting him.

Rinse, lather, repeat.
