Vitor Belfort appeared in front of the Nevada State Athletic Commission today in Las Vegas in attempt to be granted a license to fight in the state of Nevada and he was granted a license with conditions to fight Chris Weidman at UFC 181. 
At the beginning of Belfort’s appearance, the middleweight fighter explained his drug test in February at the MMA awards and why his testosterone was at the limit it was.
During his statement, Belfort told the commission that he would agree to not take a fight until December and that fight would be in Las Vegas, if he was granted a license.
The commission would question Belfort on his use of testosterone replacement therapy and which regulatory bodies gave him an exemption to use it. After all of the commissioners questioned him, they went into deliberation about potentially licensing the UFC fighter.
After they deliberated, the commission decided to give Belfort a license with the following conditions: he agreed to random drug testing at his own expense, he will not take a fight till December, and his next fight will take place in Las Vegas. Belfort agreed to the conditions and he was granted a license.
Moments after the commission granted Belfort a license, the UFC sent out a press release to officially announce that Belfort will challenge Weidman for the middleweight title in the main event of UFC 181 on December 6th at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas.
No other fights have been officially announced for the fight card, but lightweight champion Anthony Pettis told Ariel Helwani on “The MMA Hour” on Monday that he will make his first title defense against Gilbert Melendez on the December 6th pay-per-view.
