“I will always enjoy watching Sempai fight”- MMA Pros React to Anderson Silva TKO’ing Tyron Woodley
Even at the age of 50, the longest-reigning UFC champion, Anderson Silva, continues to produce highlight-reel finishes, now inside the squared circle.
Earlier today, on the main card of the Jake Paul vs. Anthony Joshua event, live on Netflix, Silva secured a second-round TKO victory over former UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley.
Entering the ring after nearly 3 years, the Brazilian had a slow round one. However, in the second round, to turn the tide in his favor, ‘The Spider’ landed a right hand, feinted, and then landed a solid uppercut and followed that up with a right hand and some short hooks to drop Woodley.
Although ‘The Chosen One’ beat the count, the referee waved the bout off at the 1:33 mark of Round 2, as Woodley looked dazed, and his corner didn’t want him to continue.
