Wanderlei Silva had previously spoken about his brain injury during the UFC antitrust lawsuit. That’s why everyone, from fans to pros, is concerned after Silva ended up on the wrong end of a knockout this past weekend. The free-for-all brawl erupted during the exhibition fight between former UFC fighter and legend Wanderlei Silva and former WBO lightweight champion Acelino Freitas at Spaten Fight Night 2. The former was knocked out cold when someone threw a deadly punch in the chaotic melee.

Silva and Freitas headlined the boxing and MMA event at Sao Paulo’s ARCA Spaces. A day after the fracas, the former PRIDE middleweight champion appeared with a reddened face. His right eye was still shut. Reaching out to fans, Silva spoke about his current condition.
