Vitor Belfort
Vitor “The Phenom” Belfort won the UFC 12 heavyweight tournament at 19, with hand speed nobody had seen. He beat Randy Couture for the light heavyweight title at UFC 46 in 2004 with a cut after 49 seconds, fought in Pride and Cage Rage, and had a famous 44-second knockout of Wanderlei Silva at UFC Brazil in 1998.
His second UFC run brought the front-kick loss to Anderson Silva, wins over Rich Franklin and Michael Bisping, and a 2013 run of head-kick knockouts of Rockhold, Bisping and Henderson while using testosterone replacement therapy, before a title loss to Chris Weidman. He retired in 2018 and later boxed. CagePotato covered the TRT controversy closely.
