But the MMA hero’s boxing bow quickly went south as he got disqualified.
The fight was paused for a blatant headbutt from the UFC Hall of Famer, resulting in a point deduction.
The Brazilian did it again moments later, and that was when the fight was called off.
Tempers immediately flared as members of both teams climbed inside the ring.
That sparked a wild 11-man brawl that saw punches flying everywhere with both fighters getting involved.
Things got even worse for Silva as he was sucker-punched in the face by an unknown man in a tuxedo.
That knocked The Axe Murderer out cold as he dropped on his back.
The heavyweight was dragged away while the brawl continued in the ring.
