Vitor Belfort and Wanderlei Silva have both confirmed their desire to end their boxing bout at Spaten Fight Night 2 inside the distance while referencing sentiments surrounding the first Spaten FN headliner. Spaten Fight Night 1 was headlined by a boxing bout between long-time MMA rivals Anderson Silva and Chael Sonnen, with the story of that fight unfurling in a fairly tepid, uneventful fashion.
This September 27th rematch, albeit in a different ruleset nearly thirty years after their UFC clash, has contractual language where a bonus will be given to whichever athlete is able to secure a knockout in this Sao Paulo-based bout.
