UPDATE [by Kid Nate]: Heavy.com is pouring cold water on this rumor:

Contrary to reports from other sources, Heavy.com learned from sources close to the UFC on Tuesday afternoon that a contender’s bout between Vitor Belfort and Nate Marquardt is “not happening”.

It seems likely that the UFC approached Belfort involved about the fight as a possibility and Belfort’s camp spoke to Fighters Only a little prematurely.
