“It started with Rashad,” Alvey said to MMA Junkie. “Vitor (Belfort), you’re next. I don’t care where or when. You just tell me where, and I’ll sign the dotted line tomorrow.”

Belfort himself hasn’t competed since a decision win over former Strikeforce Welterweight Champion Nate Marquardt at UFC 212.

The Brazilian says if he ever does face Alvey inside of the Octagon, then a knockout is coming his way.

It was a promise that Belfort made via Instagram:
