Triller Fight Club’s “Holyfield vs. Belfort”-led event was already a surreal affair, not just because it was headlined by a last-minute fight between 58-year-old Evander Holyfield and Vitor Belfort that required a move from California to Florida to be licensed. And not just because former U.S. President, Donald Trump, was there doing special commentary for the show.
It also happened to fall on the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 terror attacks.
Because of this, the promoters decided to have a 10-bell salute leading into the main event ... which went pretty sideways when a (possibly drunk) woman refused to be silent. Here’s how that played out to those watching the pay-per-view (PPV) event:

“Feel that, f—kers!” she screams as the first bell is rung.
That kicks off a chorus of “Shut up!” and “Shhh!” and “Get her outta here!” replies that only seemed to incense the woman more.
The “Get her outta here” people win: here’s two angles of the woman being dragged out of the event by security, continuing to scream something about this not being Venezuela.
Women gets escorted out for yelling anti-mask stuff and saying “this is not Venezuela” as everyone in the venue is in a moment of silence in honor of the victims of 9/11.
