The Evander Holyfield-Vitor Belfort took another turn for the weird during a Snoop Dogg-Marvin Gaye mashup performance.
Snoop Dogg made a surprise performance during the Evander Holyfield vs. Vitor Belfort boxing event, but it wasn’t exactly a grammy-winning show featuring an unusual mashup with the late musical artist Marvin Gaye.
Minutes before the co-main event featuring Anderson Silva and Tito Ortiz, Dogg rapped in front of old footage of Gaye performing his hit single, “What’s Going On”.
Both Dogg and Gaye are two of the most innovative musical artists of the last century, but social media was completely confused by the performance and ended up echoing Gaye’s song title.
Twitter was completely thrown off by the Snoop Dogg-Marvin Gaye main card performance
I feel like Marvin Gaye, if he were around, would feel weird about all of this. This is so random but in a vacuum kinda cool.

Snoop Dogg: "It's a Triller night, Marvin."
2021 continues to be a simulation #TrillerFightClub
Why am I watching Snoop Dogg dance badly to Marvin Gaye while waiting for Evander Holyfield to fight?

Is this my life now? Is this what I have become?
Dogg is also one of the part-owners of Triller Fight Club, the promotor of the Holyfield-Belfort event in Hollywood, FL.
