Ortiz in recent years has been quite active in politics but still, his political career couldn’t stop him from fighting at several events.

In his last Pro fight, he fought against former WWE Champion and Combate Americas President Alberto El Patron in a 210-pound Catchweight bout at Combate Americas event in Hidalgo, Texas. Ortiz won the fight via rear-naked choke submission in the first round. Before that, he had defeated Chuck Liddel and Chael Sonnen in MMA fights at Golden Boy Promotions and Bellator respectively.

Anderson Silva last fought in boxing against Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. on 19 June 2021. Chavez Jr missed the contractual weight of 182 lbs. after weighing in at 184.4 lbs. and forfeited $100,000 of his purse to Silva. Silva won the fight via split decision. Silva was the busier fighter throughout the fight throwing a total of 392 punches versus Chavez Jr’s 153.

It’s great to see these legendary fighters participating in boxing events at this age and making tons of money. The money they must be made for the vents is more than what they made while fighting in the MMA at the top of their career.
