The following report was obtained from an article on graciemag.com and speaks to the future of Vitor Belfort and the potential re-birth of the vaunted Chute Boxe camp.
Vitor Belfort went through a period of training at Chute Boxe. The figher was impressed with the group’s organization and structure. Belfort has a fight set for the July 19 Affliction.
“This partnership is promising, I always dreamed of training at Chute Boxe getting to know the team. These days in Brazil we have to always seek to help each other out and Chute Boxe received me in impressive fashion, I’m grateful for the way Master Rudimar and the team received me,” stated Belfort.
The athlete performed mauy thai and boxing specific training with coach Julinho Borges and Wrestling / physical conditioning with coach Cristopher Led. Vitor praised the techniques taught to him and said he was surprised by the way the coaches use the fighters’ body types with the exercises applied. Vitor returned on Sunday to Rio de Janeiro where he will be getting ready to return to Curitiba to begin training. The information is on the official Chute Boxe site.
The camp has suffered some losses in the past year, with the bigger names that were known to MMA fans having left, and with Belfort training at the camp, he joins current UFC Light Heavyweight prospect, Thiago Silva as a possible Chute Boxe 2.0
