Triller Fight Night: Evander Holyfield knocked out; Trump ran commentary
MMA fighter Vitor Belfort knocked out former boxing undisputed heavyweight champion Evander Holyfield in the first round of their boxing match in Saturday’s Triller Fight Night.
On the commentary box was former U.S. President Donald Trump whom Triller hired alongside his son to run alternate commentary. Rapper and actor, 50 Cent, and MMA Superstar Jorge Masvidal were also on hand on the night.
Coming into the fight, there were a lot of concerns about the health and abilities of Evander, who, at 58 definitely had his best years behind him; and looked exactly so in the open workouts. Vitor, on the other hand, looked in supreme condition.
To start the card, former British champion David Haye defeated multimillionaire businessman turned pro boxer Joe Fournier in a unanimous decision. That was followed by Jono Carroll who got a majority decision over Andy Vences.
In the co-main event, MMA legends faced off as Anderson Silva, the former UFC Middleweight Champion finished Tito Ortiz, the former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion in devastating fashion with a first round KO.
This was followed by the Holyfield versus Belfort main event which ended just as quickly with Belfort dropping Holyfield early and following up with a barrage of punch combinations right after he got back up.
The referee stoped the fight and Holyfield protested but it was a great decision.
