Anderson Silva showed off his swift hands Friday night as he delivered an uppercut and a few right hooks to knock out Tyron Woodley in the second round.

Woodley fell down face first as the referee counted to eight. The former UFC fighter was able to get back to his corner, and as he touched gloves with Silva to get back into the fight, the referee called for the bell.

It’s unclear what’s next for the two fighters. Silva is 50 years old, and Woodley is 43. Silva called out Chris Weidman after his win.

This fight between Silva and Woodley took place on Paul’s card against Anthony Joshua at the Kaseya Center in Miami, Florida. The YouTuber-turned-boxer put together one of the biggest tests of his career in taking on the former two-time heavyweight champion and Olympic gold medalist.
