Going into Anderson Silva’s second professional boxing fight, many fans expected the former UFC middleweight kingpin to have his way against fellow legend Tito Ortiz.
With Ortiz missing weight by five pounds for their 195-pound contest, it only added to the fervor of seeing him step inside the squared circle against his smaller foe.
But, boy were the initial predictions right as Silva needed less than one round to knock Ortiz out cold against the ropes.
Here’s how the rest of his fellow fighters reacted to his historic victory inside the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Miami.
Wow Anderson looks great once again ! Who’s next ?

Anderson was precise with the hook he drilled Tito right in the spine and he was out
