Anderson Silva is one of the biggest legends in the history of MMA and while he has lost the vast majority of his most recent UFC fights, Silva is still determined to win in other forms of combat sports. For instance, on Saturday night, Silva went up against Julio Cesar Chavez Jr in an exhibition match put on by Chavez Jr’s father. Chavez Jr is a former WBC champion and has over 50 wins to his name in the sport of boxing. Despite this, Silva pulled off a shocking upset that took the boxing world by storm.

In the clip below, you can see Silva deliver a huge uppercut to Chavez’s chin that surely shook him up. Silva eventually won by split decision although according to some analysts, it should have been unanimous as Silva was simply the better fighter.

This result is surely surprising when you consider Silva’s most recent performances. Not to mention, Silva is 11 years older than Chavez, which had some fans thinking that he would get outclassed. Either way, this was an incredible result for Silva, as well as the sport of MMA. Now, Silva is thinking about other fights, and who could be his next challenge.

You can see some highlights from the fight, below.

Last night, the Brooklyn Nets and Milwaukee Bucks gave us one of the greatest Game 7s of all time. The match ended up going to overtime and in the end, it was the Bucks who came out victorious. Neither team was able to jump out to big leads throughout the game and for the most part, it was a very evenly matched game. Despite the Nets having the lead in the dying minutes, it was the Bucks who were able to overcome and give their fans back home something to cheer about.

As you probably already know, Kevin Durant scored an incredible shot at the end of the game to tie things up and send it to overtime. Durant had thought he scored a three but instead, he scored a two as his foot was on the line. In light of this play, someone unearthed an interview from 2018 in which Durant claimed that he wore his shoes one size too big as a way to be more lightweight on the court. Simply put, had he worn his normal size, that shot sends the Bucks home.

This stunning revelation had Nets and NBA fans everywhere losing their collective minds, as the fact felt too weird to be true. After all, wearing shoes that are one size too big seems extremely cumbersome, especially when you are already as big as KD. Either way, fans on Twitter were quick to voice their displeasure.

Of course, this does not take away from the shot, as it was one of the most clutch moments in NBA history. Unfortunately for the Nets, it just didn’t go the way they were hoping it to.
