This was considered the toughest fight of Paul’s career before the showdown. Not entirely wrong, Paul faced some difficulties in hitting Silva in the initial rounds but later he made it easy by using his in-ring IQ, which definitely frustrated the former UFC middleweight champion.

Interestingly, Silva took an aggressive stance. He remained pressing toward Paul and got some success but it was not enough to impress judges who scored the fight in Paul’s favor. With this win, Paul improved his record to 6-0. Though he was caught on the ropes several times, his footwork allowed him to rescue himself. His jab was impressive, as it scored most of the time.

But the most spectacular moment of the fight was pulled in the final round when Paul dropped Silva, as the spectators went wild. They would have never expected that ‘The Problem Child‘ would drop Silva.
