Upset!! Anderson Silva vs Julio Cesar Chavez Jr full fight video highlights

Watch video from the boxing match between UFC legend Anderson Silva and Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.

Several MMA stars are looking to boxing for big paydays, and Anderson Silva is one of them. Saturday night in Mexico, the UFC legend took on Julio Cesar Chavez Jr, who missed weight for their contest.

Silva, now 46-years-old, only had one win in his last nine UFC fights. He also faced a much younger and significantly more experienced former champion boxer. Saturday though, was completely different. Silva actually impressed and slowly broke down Chavez, who seemed to tire out and possibly break mentally as the fight wore on. Silva landed shots, and even flashed some of his trademark showboating too.
