This will mark Ortiz’s first foray into the boxing ring, while for Silva this will be his fourth professional boxing match, having previously racked up a 2-1 record in the sport. In Silva’s last fight back in June, he defeated boxer Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. by split decision. It was an impressive performance by Silva, who at age 46 still showed off his trademark head movement and reflexes in the fight. As for Ortiz, he is also 46 and is coming off of three straight wins in MMA, though he will be making his professional boxing debut here.

Do you think Tito Ortiz has a chance to defeat Anderson Silva in boxing?
