44 year old Brazilian former UFC fighter knocked out former Boxing World Champion Evander Holyfield (58).

In spite of looking in shape, Holyfield seemed to be struggling to catch up with the mitts and was somewhat delayed in spite of passing the eye test.
Vitor Belfort was happy with the result. Following the winner declaration he made quite a peculiar speech.
“You are a great patriot and we appreciate it,” Trump added when speaking to Belfort.
“Vitor, your stock was very high, but it’s even higher tonight because you beat somebody who is, I don’t know, I think probably one of the greatest of all time,” Trump continued. “There’s no question about Evander and we love Evander. I know Evander, and I’ve never seen that happen to Evander. I’ve been with Evander a long time and it’s just one of those things, you were really fantastic.”
