It took less than 90 seconds for Anderson Silva to get the job done against Tito Ortiz.

Three months after his professional boxing return against Julio Cesar Chavez Jr., former UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva signed up to take on Hall-of-Famer Tito Ortiz. The two men took part in Saturday’s Triller Fight Club event in Florida, headlined by Evander Holyfield and Vitor Belfort.

There was a bit of rift between the two in the lead-up, with Ortiz being upset about having to make the 195-pound weight requirement. “The Huntington Beach Bad Boy” ended up missing weight, and to make matters worse, he also ended up falling flat on his face from a two-punch combination from Silva inside 90 seconds.

“The Spider” played a bit of rope-a-dope, dodging every punch Ortiz threw. He continued to play this strategy until finally landing a counter right hook that seemingly got the job done already. Silva continued to throw his punches until a left hand finally sent Ortiz to the canvas.

The 46-year-old Silva now holds a boxing record of 3-1.
