Advert
Belfort, a former UFC light heavyweight champion, hasn’t competed since a 2018 loss in the UFC.
Essentially, Holyfield is fighting someone not far removed from the highest levels of elite combat sports, with Belfort a proven power puncher within the MMA scene.
As a result of just that, we're backing Belfort to finish this fight with a TKO, especially given Holyfield's age.
