Without acting in the sport since 2006, Belfort achieved his second victory in the 'noble art'. Now, there are two victories in their trajectory, which they must continue in competition.
Holyfield, in turn, has an undesirable return to boxing. The legendary North American hasn't performed since 2011 and now has a record of 44 wins, 11 setbacks and two draws.
THE FIGHT
The round started with a lot of study between the athletes, who didn't even touch each other. Holyfield tried to measure the distance to find Belfort, who did well in his turn.
The Brazilian had his 'murderous' momentum and went after the legendary North American, who felt it and fell on two occasions. With Evander groggy, Vitor only had the job of applying pressure and knocking him out in the first round.
