In the co-main event of last night’s (Sat. May 11, 2019) UFC 237 pay-per-view (PPV), former UFC middleweight champion Anderson “The Spider” Silva returned against Jarred Cannonier.

Silva and Cannonier had a feeling out process to open the round, but both men began to get some solid offense off in the second half of the round. However, with seconds left, Cannonier landed a leg kick that dropped Silva to the canvas.

The Brazilian was in a noticeable amount of pain, and Cannonier jumped on him for some ground-and-pound, but the referee didn’t let things get that far. Cannonier was officially awarded a first-round TKO victory. Silva noted in his post-fight interview that his knee was hurting him during camp as well.

Once he took the kick from Cannonier, he couldn’t continue. Check out how the mixed martial arts (MMA) community reacted to the finish here:

Despite being 44 years-old former UFC middleweight king Anderson Silva has no plans on retiring just yet.

Speaking to ESPN, Silva’s manager, Jorge Guimaraes, noted that “The Spider” is nowhere near hanging his gloves up yet:

“Absolutely not [close to retirement],” Guimaraes said. “He’s still got plenty of firewood to burn. He has a very high IQ and knows how to train well. Age is just a number. He never did [recreational] drugs and never drank. He’s perfectly healthy. I think he’s in his best shape ever.”

In fact, the Brazilian’s representation and the UFC both have expressed interest in renewing Silva’s deal with the company. Guimaraes noted that “good things are coming”:

“Oh, the deal will be absolutely renewed,” Guimaraes said. “We’ve already talked about that, and [UFC president Dana White is] interested in it. Just take a look what the boom he caused in Brazil because of that. The UFC is interested. Good things are coming.”

Silva will be making his return to the Octagon tomorrow night (Sat. May 11, 2019) in the main event of UFC 237 on pay-per-view (PPV). He’ll be taking on middleweight powerhouse Jarred Cannonier. The bout co-main events the PPV, which is headlined by a strawweight title fight between Rose Namajunas and Jessica Andrade.

Fellow Brazilian legend Jose Aldo will also be competing on the card, as he takes on Alexander Volkanovski.
