After years of running, @vitorbelfort has finally agreed to fight me. The fans just won. @UFC

No date was mentioned by Mousasi, who had previously indicated a desire to fight on the UFC 205 card in November from Madison Square Garden.
At UFC 200 over the weekend, Mousasi stopped Thiago Santos. Belfort, meanwhile, last competed in May, falling to Ronaldo “Jacare” Souza via first round TKO.
