UFC legend Anderson Silva brutally turned the jeers to cheers with a savage stoppage of Tyrone Woodley – and then admitted he wants to become a police officer.
The fans here at the Kaseya Center wasted no time showing their unhappiness at a slow start between these two combat sport fighters as the boos rained down.
Both Silva and Woodley have both fought – and lost – to Jake Paul in the past.
But Silva is a well-oiled fighting machine.
And a crunching upper cut followed by a nasty hook had Woodley, 43, in all sorts of trouble.
The ref looked into his eyes and realised his night was done early into the second round.
Silva, 50, said: “I have young kids who push me hard every day, my amazing coach too and I am just so happy to be here.
“I wasn’t expecting a quick fight, I was taking my time.
“I had my a** kicked in training so I was ready.”
The Brazilian is now 4-2 in his boxing career.
