Ahead of Anderson Silva’s second professional boxing bout, many fans expected the former UFC middleweight pivot to succeed against fellow legend Tito Ortiz.
With Ortiz missing the weight by five pounds for their 195-pound contest, it only added to the fervor to see him step into the square circle against his smaller foe.
But, boy, the initial predictions were correct as Silva needed less than a turn to knock Ortiz down against the ropes.
Here’s how the rest of his fellow combatants reacted to his historic victory inside the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Miami.
Wow Anderson is once again superb! Who’s next?

Dude, Tito was out there for a while. Hope he is doing well.

Anderson was precise with the hook he drilled to Tito in the spine and he was out

Jake Paul vs. Anderson Silva is the fight to be waged. No one can tell me otherwise.

I couldn’t even tweet in time that Tito didn’t stand a chance…. The man has just beaten Chavez.
Go on.#Thriller in French

Damn I tweeted and put my phone down and when I looked up Tito was face down
