‘Forget about it, it’s over’ - Anderson Silva dismisses Belfort rematch, suggests Vitor fight Wanderlei

The new era of celebrity boxing has quickly built a reputation for making the most ridiculous matchups available; booking Floyd Mayweather against Logan Paul, Vitor Belfort against Oscar De La Hoya (and then Evander Holyfield when the ‘Golden Boy’ fell ill), pitting Jake Paul vs. Ben Askren. So maybe there’s a certain amount of sense to ignoring an obvious fight booking when it’s staring people right in the face.

Triller’s recent PPV offering, featuring said Belfort vs. Holyfield main event, ended with two former foes, both past UFC champions, picking up big first round knockouts. The ‘Phenom’ dispatched of the ‘Real Deal’ in just 1:44 seconds, immediately preceded by none other than Anderson ‘The Spider’ Silva taking out fellow former UFC champ Tito Ortiz in 1:21.
