Vitor Belfort joins Montreal's Tristar Gym ahead of final octagon bout at UFC 212

Vitor Belfort is doing things a little bit differently ahead of what he’s decided will be the final fight of his UFC career next month.

Belfort (25-14 MMA, 14-10 UFC), who meets Nate Marquardt (35-17-2 MMA, 13-10 UFC) in a middleweight bout at UFC 212 on June 4 at Jeunesse Arena in Rio de Janeiro, has jumped across various gyms throughout the course of his more than 20 year career.

Ahead of the contest with Marquardt, though, “The Phenom” shifted his training north to Tristar Gym in Montreal, which houses the likes of former UFC champion Georges St-Pierre, Rory MacDonald, Joseph Duffy, Joanne Calderwood, and many others.

A representative from Belfort’s team confirmed to MMAjunkie that he will spend the remainder of his training camp in Montreal after pictures of the Brazilian in the gym surfaced online.

Tristar head coach Firas Zahabi will corner Belfort for the fight against Marquardt, which airs on pay-per-view following prelims on FS1 and UFC Fight Pass.

UFC 212 will mark the 25th fight of Belfort’s career and the last on his current UFC contract. He said his career in the octagon will be over regardless of the result but did not 100 percent commit to retiring from competition for good.

Belfort will bring a three-fight winless skid into UFC 212. He most recently suffered a first-round knockout loss to Kelvin Gastelum at UFC Fight Night 106 in March, but the result was later overturned to a no-contest when Gastelum failed a drug test for marijuana use.
