Marc Ratner is not liking some of the things he’s seeing in the boxing world. The UFC’s vice president of regulatory affairs and former executive director of the Nevada State Athletic Commission is in disapproval of the recent sanctioning done by the Florida State Boxing Commission of 58-year-old Evander Holyfield’s return to boxing against Vitor Belfort. Holyfield, a former boxing heavyweight, lost via first-round TKO against Belfort, who’s 14 years younger, on Sept. 11 in Hollywood, Fla. It was his first fight in 10 years and many were concerned given his questionable pad work and speech leading up to the Triller pay-per-view event. Ratner is all for fighters continuing to make income past their prime, but there’s a line that needs to be respected
