At 50 years old, Anderson Silva is still winning fights.
He might be more than a decade removed from one of the greatest primes in UFC history, but the MMA legend added another win to his boxing career with a TKO against fellow ex-UFC champion Tyron Woodley, who took the fight on three weeks’ notice.

The fight came to an end in the second round on Friday’s Jake Paul vs. Anthony Joshua undercard, when Silva appeared to fake a knee strike (yes, really), then leveled Woodley with a series of right hooks. Woodley tried to bear-hug Silva on his way down, but fell and did not continue after his corner waved the towel.
The fight was a matchup of former Jake Paul victims. Silva was initially slated to face his old UFC foe Chris Weidman, but the American was forced to pull out with an injury last month.
A victorious Silva was quick to call out Weidman to set another date, while also mentioning plans to become a police officer.
