Caio Borralho frustrated with Spaten Fight Night brawl after Wanderlei Silva was disqualified

Wanderlei Silva ended up being knocked out cold at the event, but that came courtesy of his opponent’s son in a post-fight brawl. ‘The Axe Murderer’ was disqualified for repeatedly head-butting Freitas, and both teams flooded the ring and traded punches following the controversial conclusion.

The melee was eventually stopped as medical personnel tended to the unconscious Silva, but the fallout has since seen all parties come under heavy scrutiny.

Among those criticizing what unfolded at ARCA Spaces in Sao Paulo is UFC middleweight contender Caio Borralho. The Fighting Nerds standout slammed those involved, suggesting the brawl will have long-lasting effects on the perception of combat sports in the country.

“All this time the sport fighting for people to see us as decent and civilized beings for this?” Borralho wrote on X.

“Imagine now being a fighter and wanting sponsorship from a big brand in Brazil and them having this embarrassment from today as a reference??? The athletes lose a lot with this,” he added.
