At 50 years old, Anderson Silva showed that he still has the brilliance that made him famous in combat sports. This Friday (19), at the ‘Kaseya Center’, in Miami (USA), the Brazilian faced Tyron Woodley in a boxing match between former UFC champions. With a real show in the ring, ‘Spider’ left no room for doubt and knocked out his American opponent in the second round of the fight.
Scheduled for up to six rounds lasting three minutes each, at a catchweight of 88.4 kg, the clash that reinforced the main card of the event promoted by ‘MVP’ lasted just over four minutes. After adopting a more cautious stance in the initial round, Anderson Silva came back with everything after the break and settled the score in style. After the victory, the former UFC middleweight champion (84 kg) reinforced that he intends to remain active in the fight world.
“Look at these guys here (my team). They encourage me, they make me work hard every day. My coaches. I continue doing what I love. I waited to have my time (in the fight). I continue doing my job. No, this is not my last fight. I’m still training hard and we’ll see (what comes in the future). I thank my opponent for accepting the fight, a great UFC legend. Not just anyone agrees to come here in such a short period of time. Chris Weidman, I hope you’re doing better. Let’s put on a show. Let’s show that UFC fighters can fight and respect boxing”, declared Spider, still in the ring, after having his arm raised.
