After making it big in the MMA world, the legendary Wanderlei Silva found his way into a boxing exhibition match at Spaten Fight Night 2 in São Paulo this Saturday. However, the fight did not go the way fans would have hoped for because the Brazilian veteran could not stop committing fouls. As such, the referee decided to call off the fight and disqualified the legend, but what happened next was pure chaos.
As soon as the referee signalled the end to the fight, both Wanderlei Silva and his opponent, former boxing champion Acelino Freitas‘s teams charged the ring. A lot of punches were thrown, and unfortunately, Silva would find himself in the middle of the brawl. He was inadvertently struck on his head, which knocked him out. And as Silva lay unconscious in the ring, the brawl continued.
This incident took the whole fighting world aback, with UFC’s featherweight fighter, Jean Silva, writing, “WTF,” on X. Other fans also shared their reactions, claiming that this was a pretty embarrassing moment for Wanderlei Silva. “F—. They punched Wanderlei, and he passed out in the ring. What an embarrassment,” one of those fans wrote. Similarly, another fan expressed that there is no place for such behavior in combat sports, as he wrote, ”
You absolutely hate to see it.”
