Michael Bisping wants boxing legend Evander Holyfield to beat up his former UFC rival Vitor Belfort.
The rivalry between UFC legends Michael Bisping and Vitor Belfort may have just been revived after the former made a bias prediction on the upcoming Evander Holyfield vs. Vitor Belfort boxing match.
According to Bisping, he is well aware of Belfort’s skills as well as his PED (performance-enhancing drugs) issues. However, “The Count” is still hoping Holyfield could beat the crap out of the Brazilian UFC legend.
“I hope Evander [Holyfield] beats the f—k out of him,” Bisping said in a recent episode of his “Believe You Me” podcast. “That’s all I’m going to say, I’m not going to go into a technical breakdown of it. God knows what Vitor has been doing. We knew he had good boxing, we knew he had fast hands, we knew he could pack a punch.”
“Evander Holyfield is a big dude,” the former UFC middleweight champion continued. “I f—king hope [he beats Belfort]. I would take great pleasure in that. I don’t care what you say, he was on juice and he beat me fair and square. When people beat me in the past, I don’t harbour a grudge, I wish them all the best… He’s just a piece of s—t. I don’t give a f—k… I hope Evander batters him.”
As it stands, it seems like Holyfield vs. Belfort will be difficult to predict.
Holyfield is older at 58 years old and is coming off a 10-year boxing hiatus, having fought last in 2011 against Brian Nielsen.
Belfort, on the other hand, is younger and is more active, having fought last in the UFC in 2018 against Lyoto Machida. However, “The Phenom” is an underdog in terms of boxing experience as he only has one pro boxing match to his name.
