Not everyone is excited for the fight between Evander Holyfield and Vitor belfort, which takes place this Saturday (11), at 'Thriller Fight Club'. On his social networks, the former UFC middleweight champion (up to 83,9kg) Michael Bisping, was honest about the fight and opened a discussion about the age and condition of 'Real Deal'.

“Fighters are courageous by nature. That's why agents, coaches and commissions are there to protect them from themselves. This fight shouldn't be happening,” Bisping wrote on his official account on 'Twitter'.
The publication in question also includes a training video from Holyfield. At 58 years old, the North American comes out of retirement after ten years of inactivity to return to competition. He even took the lead and was confirmed on the card after Oscar De La Hoya tested positive for COVID-19. In his career, there are 57 fights – 44 wins, ten losses and two draws.
On the other hand, Belfort knows his opponent's conditions, but tries not to underestimate him. The 'Phenomenon' returns to the 'noble art' for his second fight. In the only opportunity, in 2006, he beat Josemario Neves by knockout in the first round and, even though he won, he chose to continue his path in mixed martial arts.
