With the fight inching closer, former UFC fighter and current analyst (YouTuber) Chael Sonnen took to his YouTube channel to share his prediction for the fight. Sonnen, who is notorious for the ‘Chael Curse’, wherein the fighters he picks tend to lose most of the times, picked Vitor Belfort to get the job done.

Will Vitor Belfort break the ‘Chael Curse’?

Sonnen said, “My official prediction for Vitor Belfort – Evander Holyfield, I’m taking Vitor.” Sonnen then went on to elaborate on why he had picked Belfort. He revealed that Holyfield showed a lot of signs of having CTE (Chronic traumatic encephalopathy) during an interview with Mike Heck of MMA Fighting. He had a hard time putting up words together.

Evander Holyfield hasn’t boxed in over 10 years as well, which might also come into play, when he steps inside the ring on the 11th of September.

It is also to be noted that, Vitor Belfort isn’t someone who has no prior Boxing experience. He has already boxed once in April 2006, against Josemario Neves – Belfort won the fight in the very first round. He then began concentrating on his MMA career, and never boxed professionally again. But, he was one of the best boxers in the UFC, back then.
