Anderson Silva is going to take on a brand new career at the age of 50 – but he still wants to keep fighting.
Back in October of 2020, legendary middleweight champion Silva was forced to hang up his gloves in the UFC octagon in front of an empty arena at the age of 45. But he made the switch to the boxing ring, eventually parlaying a run of wins into a fight with Jake Paul.
And after three years out of action, he returned to the ring tonight with a stunning knockout victory over fellow UFC legend Tyron Woodley. He dropped the ex-welterweight champion in round two before the bout was quickly waved off, and he called for a third fight with Chris Weidman.

After he turned 50 back in April, one would have been forgiven for thinking that Anderson Silva’s next fight might be his last. But in a short-notice clash with Tyron Woodley, he rolled back the years with a highlight reel knockout of a fellow legend.
