UFC 208 video highlights: Anderson Silva vs. Derek Brunson

For the first time since 2012 – officially, anyway – the legendary Anderson Silva won a fight.

Sure, Silva beat Nick Diaz a few years back. But that one was wiped out by a no-contest after a positive drug test and suspension. On Saturday, it may have been controversial, but Silva (34-8 MMA, 17-4 UFC) took a unanimous decision from Derek Brunson (16-5 MMA, 7-3 UFC) and was overwhelmed by emotion after the victory.

The middleweight fight was the co-main event of UFC 208, which took place Saturday at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, N.Y. The main card aired on pay-per-view following prelims on FS1 and UFC Fight Pass.
