UFC Hall from Famer Anderson Silva conquered the chance of Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. One of his only defeats to act.
The first half of the UFC career of Anderson Silva was one of the most dominant runs in the promotional history, but seven losses in his last eight fights left a spot on his legacy. After saying goodbye to the UFC after a loss for Uriah Hall in October 2020, Silva returned eight months later in the profit column in a separate discipline.
For the disappointing end of his time in the UFC, Silva was one of the biggest stars in combat sports and was one of the early dominant troops of the UFC. He established countless records when he held the UFC Middleweight Championship, a title that he had not informed for seven years.

Anderson Silva took over the son of an icon after his UFC room
Silva participated in two boxing competitions before he walked to the UFC and fights with Julio Cesar de Jesus and Osmar Luiz Teixeira. In June 2021, Silva was booked against Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. For an eight-round competition that few thought he had the chance to win.
But Silva shocked the masses when he turned out to be a more difficult test for Chavez than most expected.
Silva showed Elite head movement and technology reminiscent of his UFC championship Prime. The old Silva rose in the foreground during the fight, while he taunted and frustrated Chavez for eight rounds.
After a well -affected fight, the scor cards of the jury members went in favor of Silva when he took home a split decision. The victory marked a new chapter in Silva's legendary combat sport career, which led to a knockout boxing victory on UFC legend Tito Ortiz and a fight with Jake Paul.
Silva has not participated anymore since a boxing match for exhibition with Chael Sonnen last June. As far as Chavez is concerned, he hopes to give Paul one of the only spots of his boxing career.
Jake Paul's next Boxing opponent named after Canelo Alvarez Bout fell apart
Paul and Chavez will fight on 28 June in Anaheim, Ca. It is Paul's first boxing booking since beating heavyweight legend Mike Tyson in November.
Paul was briefly in conversations to cope with Canelo Alvarez, but the negotiations came far under the finish line when Riyadh season signed Alvarez for a contract with several fights. Alvarez will return to William Scull next month while he prepares for a super fight with Terence Crawford in the fall.
Coincidentally, Chavez's last boxing match came in July against Silva's last UFC enemy, Hall. He won the fight by unanimous decision and has won three of his last four fights in general.
