The Triller fight card on September 11th featured a bout between two former champions in Vitor Belfort and Evander Holyfield. The event was originally supposed to be headlined by Oscar De La Hoya and Vitor Belfort. However, a positive COVID-19 test ruled ‘The Golden Boy’ out of the bout. Hence, ‘The Real Deal’ stepped in on short notice to accept the fight against Belfort.
Michael Chandler, who was in attendance for the Triller fight card, shared his predictions for the main event. They turned out to be true.
Ahead of the fight, he had said, “Man, Evander Holyfield was so fun to watch for such a long time. I think he is just a little bit too over the hill at this point. But you can’t ever take the fight out of a guy like Evander Holyfield.”

‘Iron’ continued, “So, it’s going to be a fun fight, it’s going to be an entertaining fight. Being a guy who has been in the same room as Vitor Belfort for numerous years, I think Vitor has more tools. He is younger, he is more hungry. I think it is going to be a good fight.”
