News about Vitor Belfort

Raul Rosas Jr. may be a name MMA enthusiasts will remember for years to come, or he may crash and burn if the pressure of too much has come too soon. This week, the youngster made headlines this week by winning on Dana White's Contender Series at the tender age of 17 and 348 days. He is the youngest fighter to ever sign up for the world's top MMA competition, and he may be the first fighter to make his complete debut. Dana White referred to him as 'unique,' and batted away concerns about whether the starlet was already well prepared for the big screen.

The match, which took place at a sold out O2 Arena, featured more than high-profile bouts Katie Taylor vs. Amanda Serrano and Derek Chisora's 2022 solo, as well as Conor Benn and Josh Warrington's spectacular victory over Oleksandr Usyk earlier this year. After being coerced to pull out by history, versatile entertainer KSI began and ended the bill, including rapper Swarmz and 2-5 professional boxer Luis Pineda. An assortment of YouTubers and TikTok artists were also on display.

Despite the fact that Evander Holyfield had previously considered an exhibition match against ex-rival Mike Tyson, the 59-year-old Georgia native said,'it's too late' now' when considering a potential trilogy. According to reports, the four-time heavyweight champion negotiated with Tyson's camp in the spring of 2021, but the two camps were split on a potential purse split. Kris Lawrence, Holyfield's boss, told TMZ, 'It appears we just ended up wasting our time.' Of course, anyone who had seen Holyfield lose an exhibition to former MMA star Vitor Belfort 11 months ago knew he was done. From the opening bell, the Georgia native suffered a first-round technical knockout and looked winded.
