Bisping slams Belfort for going too hard on ‘old man’ Holyfield: It was only an exhibition

UFC Hall-of-Famer Michael Bisping wants to remind Vitor Belfort that his boxing match against Evander Holyfield was only an exhibition.

Belfort beat 58-year-old Holyfield via first-round TKO and celebrated as if he had ‘just knocked out Mike Tyson in his prime’, according to Bisping.

‘The Count’ slammed Belfort for his performance and said the Brazilian was likely using steroids again (Bisping believes Belfort, who is a known user of testosterone replacement therapy (TRT), was using performance-enhancing drugs in their middleweight bout at UFC on FX 7 which saw the Brit suffer a detached retina in his left eye after being dropped with a vicious head kick in the second round).
