VITOR BELFORT QUOTES

“My job is to knock people out and I did and will continue to do so on September 11.”

“Boxing is a true martial art and I love it. I am the Muhammad Ali of my sport, I literally opened the Red Sea, me and a few other guys as at that time MMA was a new sport. We had to incorporate new rule sets and make it uniform.”

“Boxing is an art and this is a great crossover event for fans.”

“It takes courage for this challenge to fight De La Hoya. This is a legacy fight for me.”

“I’m hoping after I win on September 11 to box again in December. I haven’t turned my back on MMA but this is my focus now."

“Triller Fight Club has truly opened a new world with their events and I’m thrilled to be part of it. I challenge any MMA champion to fight me at Triller Fight Club.”

“Sometimes it can be hard to stay relevant but this fight with Oscar De La Hoya at Triller Fight Club absolutely keeps me relevant.”

“I’m very happy with the way this fight with Oscar De La Hoya came about and the way Triller Fight Club conducts business. It’s going to be a special night at LEGENDS II.”

“Right now, I have Oscar in my sights and that’s the only fighter I’m thinking about. After I beat him we can talk about my next opponent.”

“It’s an honor to fight the best boxer of all-time. Striking has always been my A-game in MMA. When I was 20-years-old I was looking to do both at the same time but I couldn’t, however now I can box with Triller Fight Club. For me boxing has always been my favorite martial art of all-time.”

“Against Oscar, I think the fight plays out with me working through him and looking for the knockout. This is one of the toughest opponents of my career and I can’t look past him to other fights.”
