UFC legend Vitor Belfort is booked to face the boxing legend Oscar De Lay Hoya in a boxing match, and according to him, this fight is nowhere near the level of the crazy match between Jake Paul and Tyron Woodley.

Woodley lost the boxing match against Jake via split decision, and according to Belfort, this was bound to happen. Talking to Ariel Helwani from The MMA Hour, he said, “I told you I thought that Woodley was going to have trouble beating the kid, because he’s literally becoming a fighter. But his level is very low compared to a guy like myself and Oscar. We’re in the next level.”

“It’s hard. It’s like comparing a wine that you can buy in Target. I’m being honest. I respect both of the guys. They did great, they made a lot of money. But at the end of the day, me and Oscar’s a legendary fight, it’s a legacy fight, it’s a generation fight. It’s the guys that are literally building a sport.”

Belfort continued to ramble about the boxing match between Jake and Woodley, he claimed that these guys don’t even know how to box, “Everyone has their own journey. I call it the why of fighting and the why of competing. Me and Oscar is a legendary fight. The fight yesterday is, I’m sorry, but I cannot respect a YouTuber. He’s a Disney channel type of thing, and the other guy doesn’t have hands. He doesn’t know how to box.”

“He didn’t want to fight me. He was scared. I understand, but I respect Oscar. Oscar’s man enough not fighting a YouTuber. Oscar is fighting a real fighter like myself. My respect comes not if you’re a winner or a loser – it’s who you’re competing against.”
