But the real story is that silva got literally layed out by a guy from popo entourage in a wild post fight brawl
Yeah, Freitas was surprisingly beating up Silva in spite of the 44 lbs size disadvantage (in a boxing fight though) and Silva started cheating blatantly and was dqed. Pretty wild to see him get laid out by some random dude in a tuxedo but that was a killer right hook. Not a good look from Silva through and through Edit: supposedly it was Freitas son who koed Silva. Seems like he inherited his father's power
yeah that was rafael freitas. also looks like werdum and dida both landed pretty devastating sucker punches on freitas before wanderlei was KOed. he got dropped twice as well. for someone so violent silva sure has been on receiving end of some beatings outside of the ring (charles bennett knocked him out in a backstage brawl, mark coleman stepped on his neck, now this)
This shows once again that while boxing might not be the best martial art in a 1on1 contest, its sure as hell is king in an all out brawl. That's why boxers are king of the street
Always was a wand fan, but that ko was well deserved karmatic justice. He was acting like a piece of shit during the fight with blatantly obvious fouls. Wasnt willing to take the beating popo was giving him and was looking for a cheap way out. Turned out he got an even bigger beating for it. Guy was literally out cold and getting dragged across the ring like a carcass
Much more funny in super slow mo. Hard to say who really started it (seems like it was Silva's son but not 100% sure) but a bit funny that Freitas seemed like he was the only one trying to deescalate yet got hit the most (after Silva obviously). Silva basically got koed by a small kid who literally entered the ring with a championship belt, WWE style . It's actually quite shocking to see how clueless he looked in the brawl, but it might be because he was trying to stop it (hard to gauge his real intentions from the video). BTW, it supposedly did huge numbers in Brazil
Incredible how Toxedo midget completely destroyed Wand face with one punch. Wand didnt even looked that bad after the 2nd cro cop fight
I guess damage over time just becomes pernicious. Eventually you cut yourself shaving and need Jacob Duran to stop the bleeding. Stevie Johnston slammed his face into a steering wheel in an auto accident and suffered with facial swelling for the rest of his career. Light shots would bring him out in lumps.
