However, what transpired after that ruling will serve as the lasting image of the event. After “Popo” climbed the ropes to celebrate the victory, both corners began angrily jawing back and forth. Shortly thereafter, a brawl ensued. During the fracas, Silva was knocked out cold by what appeared to be someone from the opposite corner who was wearing a tuxedo.
The 49-year-old Silva, who was originally supposed to face Vitor Belfort at the event, was making his first combat sports appearance since September 2018.
