The fight between Oscar De La Hoya and Vitor Belfort is being targeted for the Staples Center in Los Angeles and has been promoted from an exhibition to an official bout on September 11.

If the September 11 bout does come to pass in California, it will be the first major combat sports event to be held in the venue with fans since the coronavirus pandemic shut businesses down last March. Triller did put on their inaugural event headlined by Mike Tyson and Roy Jones Jr at the Staples Center last December, though that event did not feature fans in attendance. Currently, the largest high profile combat sports event scheduled for California is Bellator 263 next Saturday at The Forum in Inglewood. It should be noted, the state of California declared that masks would still be required at many indoor venues and it is unknown if the Staples Center will be able to fill to capacity for the event.

RIP Oscar

Oscar just needs to survive Vitor’s 60 second steroid blast. After that Vitor will crumble like he always does.

Hard to bet against De La hoya, long night for Belfort

WTF has gone wrong with the fight world (or at least a large chunk of it) and us for being interested in horseshit like this?

MMA isn’t giving us the fights we want and so many great fighters are not fighting as well. Jones, Ngannou, Cejudo, Khabib etc. Boxing can give us some unique matchups at this point. I’m interested to see if ODLH can ride his experience to victory here.

On paper you would think Belfort would be the favorite at this point. I wonder what the odds will be?

Yes. Oscar is actually bigger than we might imagine these days. He always fought very thin, and he is not thin anymore.

Still Vitor is bigger. And it is TRT Vitor too.
