This fight is finally giving Belfort a chance to finally compete in a crossover, which has been his dream from the early days of his UFC career. Vitor Belfort is really excited to compete in this boxing match and represent MMA in Boxing, unlike some other UFC fighters who let the sport down for money.

In his latest interview with MMA Fighting, Belfort says, “It’s pretty exciting, I’m so pumped, especially doing the crossover, literally seeing who has the best hands if they can box together, the MMA guy or the boxer?”

“My debut is going to be against a YouTuber that really is not picking an easy opponent like the other two brothers Jake Paul and Logan Paul are.” {H/T MMA Fighting}

“This is guy literally fighting one of the fiercest guys in the industry, not picking up a wrestler in Ben Askren who doesn’t know how to throw a punch. Picking up a guy in Tyron Woodley who can now just throw one killer punch.”

Belfort referencing Ben Askren and Tyron Woodley is associated with the Youtuber turned boxer Jake Paul, who has become one of the most hated personalities in every MMA household recently.

Vitor Belfort added, “I don’t have nothing against them, They go make their money but they’re not boxers. I can go fight Tyron Woodley with one hand and beat him up. Askren? It’s not even a question. That guy’s a wrestler — a great wrestler but my kid can beat him up.” {H/T MMA Fighting}

“My daughter — have you seen my daughter punch? My daughter Victoria can put these guys out. Because they don’t know how to box. My kids have boxed since they were kids.”

Vitor Belfort believes that these wrestlers crossing over to Boxing fights is the worst representation of MMA on the world level. He added, “I just think they are the worst representation of MMA,”

“These guys that you just mentioned, I can fight all of them in one night. I’ll put them out. They cannot even survive two rounds with me, these MMA athletes that are representing us in boxing.” {H/T MMA Fighting}

Belfort also criticized the Paul brothers, who are genuinely picking up mismatched opponents to improve their records. He added, “I’m telling you, you put these two brothers with me, I will fight both guys in the same night,”

“You come, you get tired, comes the other brother next round, I’ll beat the crap out of these two brothers like that. Like that. They know that. They don’t want to do it. They’re afraid.” {H/T MMA Fighting}
