Vitor Belfort was one of the scariest fighters in his prime. The former UFC champ possesses vicious knockout power and blinding speed. By the time his opponents knew what hit them, they were on the floor, as Belfort celebrated.
Although his career in the UFC has been the center of a lot of controversies, he still stakes the claim of being one of the best Brazilian UFC champions. Other than competing in the UFC, Belfort has fought for other promotions such as PRIDE and Strikeforce. He also tried his hand in boxing in 2006.

Vitor Belfort vs Evander Holyfield
Triller originally built the card around ‘The Golden Boy’ Oscar De La Hoya taking on Vitor Belfort in a fight scheduled as a professional fight. However, De La Hoya tested positive for COVID-19 and got hospitalized. Evander Holyfield stepped in on late notice, to take on ‘The Phenom’.
The whole card had to be shifted to Florida since the California State Athletic Commission (CSAC) did not grant Holyfield a license to fight because of his diminished skills and age. The event will now take place at the Seminole Hard Rock Casino in Hollywood, Florida.
