Anderson Silva's son, Gabe, reacts to his sensational knockout over Ben Davis
Anderson Silva's son still has a long way to live up to his father's legacy, but earlier this weekend at Misfits 009, the 26-year-old made a great stride in his combat sports career by finishing Ben Davis just 2:55 minutes into the fight.
Reacting to the win during a post-fight interview, Gabe Silva opined that apart from a half-decent jab and his trash-talking prowess, 'The Bane' didn't pose any real danger to him:
"He had a pretty decent jab... it was hard to time it, but then he started flurrying, and from that flurry of punches, I knew he was going to gas out... But I knew I had him because besides talking, he didn't show [much]... When I looked at him in his eyes, and I was like face to face, like he kind of crumbled."
