Spaten Fight Night 2 had everything to be a celebratory event, after all it was led by two legends of combat sports, but it ended with regrettable scenes and the one who got the worst of it was Wanderlei Silva. This Saturday (27), in São Paulo, the former Pride champion, in addition to losing his boxing debut to Acelino Popo by disqualification (headbutts), he also suffered a brutal knockout during a fight between the teams.
The fight began in earnest. Initially, a man, supposedly from Popó's team, punched Wanderlei from behind. The same individual then attacked the MMA legend even more violently. The man landed a cross to the Mad Dog's jaw, leaving him unconscious in the ring.
