The Brazilian legend was blown away by the product and the athleticism of AEW’s athletes. He enjoyed his time as a fan and witnessed some of professional wrestling’s top talents showcase their skills.

But the fun did not end there.

Each man has been a part of history in their respective sports and risen to its heights from being World Champions at a young age to becoming icons. Both have been lauded for their speed, power, and quick-knockout ability.

They have a long list of highlight-reel performances in their storied careers. What’s next for the duo?

Belfort is preparing for his inevitable debut in ONE, but is “Iron” Mike ready to come out of retirement for his own run at gold? If so, there may not be a better training pair today, and all fans would love to see the highlights of their workout.
