The co-main fight of 'Desafio no Boxe' had a tragic end for those who expected to see Tito Ortiz overcome Anderson Silva. Hardly knocked out in the first round, the North American, who had mocked 'Spider' before the confrontation, he surrendered to the Brazilian's talent. In an interview with 'Fight Hub TV', the 'bad boy' described the experience and said he was surprised by the MMA legend's technique.

“I had never been hit like that. Not even (Chuck) Liddell hit me like that. He was a great punch, clean. It was a right hook, right? I was stupid to stand in front of him like that. Anderson has been boxing for a long time. I have a lot of respect for him. I trained as hard as I could,” Ortiz said.
Even run over by 'Spider', Shot in his boxing debut, Tito guarantees that the experience was valid. The combatant, who, moments later, challenged the youtuber Logan Paul, was brief when dealing with the episode.
“I had never boxed before. It was an opportunity. I loved it, it’s exciting,” she said.
Silva's victory over Tito expanded the Brazilian's good moment in the 'noble art'. In June of the 2021 season, the 46-year-old athlete had already put on a show by beating former world boxing champion, Julio César Chávez Jr., in his first challenge since leaving the UFC.
