Anderson Silva gave mixed martial arts (MMA) fans a scare tonight (Sat. May 11, 2019) at the UFC 237 pay-per-view (PPV) from Brazil. Silva took on Jarred Cannonier in the co-main event of the evening.

Silva and Cannonier were exchanging in the closing seconds of the round, when Cannonier landed a hard leg kick. Silva crumbled over in a good amount of pain, yelling. The referee stepped in to call the action off.

Luckily, the injury doesn’t seem to be as bad as Silva’s injury against Chris Weidman back in 2013. Check it out here:
