Longtime former UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva was looking for a big comeback win when he met Derek Brunson in the co-main event of tonight’s (February 11, 2017) UFC 208 from the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.
And he got just that in a close call on the judges’ scorecards.
Despite Brunson out-landing Silva by a sizable margin of 127 to 57 total strikes, ‘The Spider’s’ takedown defense was on point as he stuffed 9 of Brunson’s 11 attempts, landing crisp jabs and counter throughout to earn enough for a unanimous decision nod. It certainly won’t come without a fair share of controversy, but for now, Silva is back.
