Former UFC Fighter Vitor Belfort is Suddenly Massive and The Internet is Loving It…
Vitor Belfort is definitely making full use of his retirement. Instagram pictures of the Brazilian former UFC fighter have gone viral because he’s absolutely massive. Again. Well, that’s the joy of being able to do whatever you want, and Vitor seems to be doing everything.
The Brazilian fighter was one of the stalwarts of the UFC. He first fought for the company in 1997, and retired this year, with spells in the likes of Strikeforce and PRIDE in between. While he holds the joint record for most finishes in UFC history (14), he’s also notorious for having being caught juicing multiple times.
It’s amazing what USADA has done to some UFC fighters, who just can’t get away with doing what they used to. Belfort’s body changed dramatically after the new setup came in. Long gone are the days when Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) was acceptable. Now Belfort is back on the happy pills and fans have responded.

Massive
In the picture above you can see that Belfort looks absolutely massive. He looks like he would eat a Michael Bisping for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. And a Demetrious Johnson for a snack in between. Incidentally, Bisping despises Belfort for his PED use, because he’s the dude that messed up the Brit’s eye. Not cool.
For contrast, take a look at the picture below, just before Belfort is about to get knocked out by Lyoto Machida’s devastating front kick. He’s definitely carrying a bit of timber around the belly. The change is absolutely insane.
Fan Responses
Of course, the internet shows no mercy. There’s been a fascinating range of responses to Belfort’s dramatic transformation. Some are in favor, many are laughing at him, while there’s a lot of speculation that he’s off to Bellator. Let’s take a look at some of the comments on his Instagram:
brenoxmattos: “Every fighter should have The right to do trt and have a better recovery from battles… people say mala The Sport clean but this os not a Sport this is War! @vitorbelfort Good To see you Back in shape champ!!! Cant wait To see u Back fighting!!
li_fts: “look whose back on the Brazilian acai bowls and horse meat diet.
david.anzulovic: “TRT VITOR IS BACK. BELLATOR HERE WE GO!
nibirunian: “Every fighter in bellator just took notice, and peed a little.
mikeymeck: “I would think the ogs were the guys that didn’t need to use juice to win fights. Cuz we all so what happened when you went off the juice you got that ass whooped.”
Bellator?
There’s widespread fan speculation that the ‘retired’ Belfort will soon be off to Bellator. We can confirm that nothing has happened in this direction yet. However, Lyoto Machida must be bricking it. Vitor has gone from ‘dad bod’ to ‘Incredible Hulk’ in a few crazy months. Now his bicep is bigger than ‘The Dragon’s’ head.
Revenge on the horizon?
