One of the most anticipated fights yet took the ring at Hard Rock Live at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino this past weekend. Vitor Belfort vs. Evander Holyfield came together for Triller Fight Club Legends II, on September 11.
The fight was short, but most definitely a thrilling one! Belfort took the win in the first of eight rounds, after a technical knockout. The TKO had happened, and the fight was stopped at 1:49, in Round 1.

Belfort took the win to heart with a beautifully written Instagram post on Sunday morning. In his caption is heartfully stated, “I am here not talking about the victory but about the trajectory of getting here. Defeat is the easiest and shortest path, for those who think small, because to get to it, yes I'm talking about defeat, a path of great effort was also trodden, but only the big ones know how to value each moment and those who think small stay in the crowd to humiliate and bring you down.”
