His opponent for the next match, Bruno “Caveira” Machado, is collecting six straight wins in the boxing rings so far. At 35, the Brazilian fighter has already made it clear that his goal is “to keep getting victories against former UFC champions until he has a chance to get back in the Octagons.”
The controversy with Tito Ortiz
Anderson Silva knocked out Tito Ortiz in the first round of the fight between them held this Saturday, 11th. Before the confrontation, the American even praised and recognized Spider’s skills, but after losing he decided to dispute the blow given by the Brazilian. Through his official Twitter account, Tito Ortiz released the word.
The former UFC light heavyweight champion suggested that the Brazilian’s victory in boxing happened illegally, and after causing a real controversy, he deleted the post. There, the veteran accused Anderson Silva of having hit him with an illegal blow, being a punch to the back of the head, in the midst of the sequence of attacks that guaranteed his victory by knockout in the first round of the confrontation.
In addition, the American also said he was suffering from pain at the site, as a way of emphasizing his complaint, and showing the seriousness of the “illegality” committed by Spider. After landing a right hook on Tito’s chin, Anderson Silva sent two more blows to complete the knockout, and take his opponent to the canvas.
