Anderson Silva made the MMA community proud last night in his upset victory over Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.
Boxing veteran Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. entered last night’s special-attraction Tribute to the Kings event as a monstrous -700 favorite, with Silva an overwhelming +500 underdog. Silva’s rebuttal to those odds? ‘I’m not Ben Askren.’
Anderson Silva defeated Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. via split decision (highlights here), though seemingly most spectators, as well each of the commentators calling the fight, thought the outcome was much clearer.
