Recently, a video of two Brazilians fighting in a cage went viral on the internet. According to reports, the fight involved the mayor of a small town in northern Brazil and a former city councilor.
After having an issue with Peixoto, Silva challenged him to a fight to settle their differences in the cage. The bout took place on Sunday in Borba, Brazil. Silva threw the first punch and the first leg kick to commence the fight, before taking his opponent to the fence. They fought until the final bell and embraced once the dust had settled.
Even though their skills weren’t the best, they surely entertained their locals, and those who watched the video. Peixoto (the mayor) defeated Mirico (the previous city councilor) via a split decision.
