Anderson Silva scored a knockdown during a dominant performance over Bruno Machado to continue his successful run in the boxing ring and set up a potential clash with Jake Paul.
The Brazilian star has made a seamless progression to the boxing ring from his time as a UFC middleweight champion and has shown a flair for the sport even at the age of 47. Silva was delighted with his latest performance in the ring after the fight and revealed he would take part in a Jiu-Jitsu tournament in the Middle East next, failing to call out rival Paul.
The 47-year-old was lacing up his gloves in his third exploit in a new sport, having previously defeated Julio Cesar Chavez Jr in a shock victory before blasting out Tito Ortiz. His opponent Machado had been fighting as an MMA star in Middle East promotion UAE Warriors with his last fight coming in January last year when he defeated Mickael Lebout.
