In today’s installment of The Pulse of MMA, we look at how the fans are prepping for the very unique Triller Fight Club: Holyfield vs. Belfort event. You can catch up on today’s weigh-in results and viewing information for tomorrow’s pay-per-view here.
Evander Holyfield vs. Vitor Belfort
I find Holyfield vs Belfort so depressing it makes Silva vs Ortiz suddenly feel like a normal, card redeeming fight. I hate it here lmao.

My thoughts exactly. The Holyfield vs Belfort fight shouldn’t be happening.
Shame on the Florida State Boxing Commission and the Florida Athletic Commission for sanctioning this fight.
And everyone around Holyfield (coaches, trainers, etc) needs to be fired. https://t.co/VBI3R4Q5NQ

We rioting if Vitor Belfort Kill Evander Holyfield in this boxing match. I’m already low key mad Holyfield fighting bruh. Then TRT Belfort at that

While Belfort certainly may be a “novice” in pure boxing, dude was a legit striker in MMA with fast hands & power, not to mention his “special sauce.” If the recent video of Holyfield working the mitts is all he can muster up, there is a good chance that “novice” can surprise you

No wonder De la Hoya pulled out 🤣 they shouldn’t be letting TRT Belfort fight a 60-year-old man ffs, even if the 60 year old is Evander Holyfield

Holyfield vs Belfort is the saddest fight I’ve ever seen. I really hope evander doesn’t get hurt in the ring man.

@triller should be ashamed for sanctioning the Holyfield vs Belfort fight. There’s still time to stop it….save yourself the lawsuit
— 𝔄𝔩𝔢́ 🟥⬛️★ (@GeorgieDampeer) September 10, 2021
Evander Holyfield should not be allowed anywhere near a boxing ring in 2021. Guys like him need to be saved from themselves. He was shot when he fought Toney, and that was in 2003.

A month after Belfort made his MMA debut, Holyfield fought Tyson for the first time

Evander Holyfield is fighting Vitor Belfort tomorrow… Let that sink in

Anderson Silva vs. Tito Ortiz
Just a reminder that the co-main event on the Triller card tomorrow is an absolutely awful mismatch. You can bet your house that Ortiz won’t land a single meaningful punch on Silva. pic.twitter.com/7S2B9cS6Bd

Man they shoulda promoted that Anderson Silva v. Tito Ortiz fight way more
— Pinnacle (@Pinnacle__) September 10, 2021
Can’t wait to see Anderson Silva beat the shit out of Tito Ortiz tomorrow.
— 이사야 (@OGICEY) September 10, 2021
Tito Ortiz is fighting Anderson Silva tomorrow????? Lol wtf
— Trig Smith (@Trev_orDie24) September 10, 2021
Dog Anderson Silva is going to destroy Tito Ortiz this weekend. Like it’s going to be an annihilation
— . (@Andrew_Lightle3) September 9, 2021
It doesn’t matter how much Tito Ortiz will outweigh Anderson Silva for their fight tomorrow. Silva is going to absolutely decimate the big bobblehead dummy.
— Jordan Iverson (@JordanIverson_) September 10, 2021
I’ll be honest. I kind of want to watch Anderson Silva put Toto Ortiz to sleep on Saturday night.
— chris muehleisen (@chrismuehleisen) September 9, 2021
Holyfield should not be fighting, he’s 58 and Vitor will be juiced to his eyeballs!
I do hope Anderson Silva sparks Tito Ortiz though https://t.co/SLA8jeVljl— Dan Tomlinson (@_DanTomlinson_) September 10, 2021
I’m gonna be hypocritical….I have changed my mind and decided I’m gonna buy the Trump commentary version of Holyfield vs Belfort. For the comedy aspect of it because I know the entire night will be hilarious. Now I get why they added this. Because it’s hilarious. #MMATwitter

@seanmccracken88 what can be better than Holyfield v Belford and Silva v Ortiz? I’ll tell ya..Donald Trump and Donald Trump jnr calling the fights 🤣
— Phil Smith (@GrangePhil_) September 10, 2021
The year is 2010 and someone tells you that in 11 years Tito Ortiz will miss weight for his boxing match against Anderson Silva for the co-main event of the Evander Holyfield and Vitor Belfort card on 9/11 that will feature commentary by former president Donald Trump… pic.twitter.com/1D01lBPvC4
— JustBleedMMA (@JustBleedMMA_) September 10, 2021
I can see it now, Trump saying “yeah, Holyfield is hitting real good, like I’d like to hit Biden, I’d squash him like a bug, it would be the best fight, many people say”. He’s gonna make it all about him.
— Just Breathe…aka Steph (@Steph4Democracy) September 10, 2021
Trump and son announcing PPV fight 9/11. Holyfield and MMA retiree. Can’t think of a more distinguished way to commemorate and honor this day in our history.🤣🤣🤣
— Karl Rosenfeld (@kneerecon) September 10, 2021
So let me get this strait.. Vitor is boxing holyfield… holyfield clearly in great shape but also clearly unpin age and has taking alot of damage in his career. Vitor will look like he is 28 and fucking Donald Trump is the commentator??? Where are we?
— BluntTrauma (@BeardedStoneRR) September 10, 2021
Listening to the Trump interview about the Holyfield fight and it’s clear he’s a fan of the fight game…might steal the fight tomorrow and listen to his commentary.
— Marlon Ettinger (@MarlonEttinger) September 10, 2021
I have paid for and watched every @SpiderAnderson event since his first fight against Rich Franklin. The insanely weird addition of Donald Trump commentary and an elderly Holyfield makes me feel worse supporting the event than I do just watching the highlights on Sunday. 😑 https://t.co/I60kVBicBg
— Benn Jordan (@bennjordan) September 10, 2021
I’m not missing that Holyfield vs Belfort match for the world for the simple fact that Trump is on commentary 🤣
— st. jude (@KNouvlle) September 10, 2021
Holyfield should not be allowed to fight. This is criminal. No surprise Trump will profit from watching someone get crippled for the rest of his life.
— Sundodger (@SundodgerBand) September 10, 2021
Donald Trump is calling the Holyfield fight?!? That shit bout to be the wildest shit ever.
— Stretch Armstrong (@JerseyDa420Chef) September 10, 2021
Evander Holyfield is going to die on PPV with trump on commentary. Tough time to be a boxing fan.
