Exactly. After the shameful fight against Weidman, Silva allowed himself to lose by accepting fights for money. But the fans (who were born after 2010) of Khabib and GSP will hate you. After Jon Jones, Silva is indisputably the best in MMA.
@NAATH KABOOTREE for me it would be 1. GSP 2. Demetrius Johnson 3. Anderson Silva 4. Jose Aldo 5. Dan Henderson 6. Amanda Nunes 7. Randy Couture 8. Stipe Miocic 9. Fedor Emelianenko 10. Khabib Nurmagomedov
The fact that Anderson is able to compete with someone like Izzy, while in his mid 40’s after such a long career and not get completely embarrassed shows how special he is. Izzy hit Silva with some good shots too, proving he still has a chin. Dodged a kick from Izzy that would’ve taken his head off and still had Izzy respecting him when he went forward. The leg injury in his last fight was alarming, but it’s still amazing that he was able to perform this late in his career.
@Weghweh Hwewehwhe Why tf does it matter if a champ dominates with striking or wrestling? They are both facets of mma. Saying Khabib's striking is "REALLY really bad" is just so wrong. He has criminally underrated striking defence, and he was very competitively striking with Gaethje and Conor. You seem to ignore this
It's so easy to tell that Silva grew up fighting a lot; his fighting style is so street-like. It's like bringing a Street soccer player from Brazil to play in the big leagues. e.g. (Ronaldinho, Neymar). These two both grew up playing street. That's why they're really good at creative dribbling and juggling. In the same sense, Anderson Silva is a very creative fighter with a refined fight IQ. Shout out to the people of Brazil.
He’s definitely creative and playful in his fights, sure. But I don’t know if I’d say Silva has a “street fighting” style. The guy is an unbelievably technical and precise striker. Probably the most precise MMA striker of all time. His timing, footwork, defense and precision are all second to none, he’s been formally trained and has mastered multiple striking arts, and is a black belt in BJJ. I’ve never seen a “street fighter” with anywhere near that level of technical precision, nor have I ever seen anyone fight the way he does in a street fight.
@@therainman7777 he actually has... He talked about it in some brazilian podcasts... Its hard to find but if you type something like "anderson silva briga de rua" or "anderson silva 8 minutos" on youtube you may find some videos about him talking about it... Basically he grew up in Curitiba and he fought uncountable times in the streets, there were people from others gyms that when they saw each other on the streets... It was on sight, everytime. Thats how he started it
Silva lost to not one but TWO former LWs one tapped him with a flying heel hook whos record is 12-15-2 And the other dominated him to a decision with a record of 50 percent wins and 50 percent losses. Silva also got mauled by Gomi who has 15 losses and gets KO everytime. Chonnan also tapped his ass a former WW whos record is 8-10. Lol people praise Silva like he’s the greatest MW champion of all times even though he has been beaten by OTHER MW champions like Israel, Weidman (2X)And Bisping. Silva beat non ranked fighters other than fucking Brunson who got robbed against Silva. Silva’s biggest wins are against guys with records like 20-15. Silva’s biggest wins are also against bums like Chael Sonnen who has 30 wins 17 losses and a draw who mauled Silva twice and made a HUGE mistake twice lol he’s not good. Silva beat a Belfort who came down from HW and LHW to MW for the first time in the UFC for more than a decade he also fought Belfort when Belfort was injured and off for almost 3 years. Lol he beat guys like Chole, Lutter, Newton, Sonnen, And Marquadt who all have lost 40 percent of their fights.

Silva also has double digit losses. And Chris Weidman was his first ranked/ Undefeated fighter at the time and Chris dominated him in both fights won every single round. LOL SILVA BUM SLAYER SILVA LETS NOT FORGET SILVA HAD THE EASIEST ROAD TO UFC GOLD EVER HE BEAT UNRANKED FORMER WW CHRIS LEBEN WHO IS 22-12 TO GET A TITLE SHOT AND SILVA WAS ONLY ON A TWO FIGHT WINNING STREAK.

As someone said, it is easy to get carried away with people in the moment when they rip the world to shreds but almost a decade in retrospect, Prime Anderson was something else. He could do things people around him just could not do. He took the sport to a different level. A legend like no other and when things come to a standstill, for me the greatest, ever. Thank you, Anderson, it has been an honour.
Made me fall in love with the ufc. I’ll never forget watching his fight with sonnen, when he was getting dominated and about to lose and he somehow pulled out the victory. 🐐
Roids or not, he was dominating in an era where everyone was on steroids. He was knocking people out with precision and speed unmatched to this day. When your highlight video is 12 minutes long and it still leaves out some amazing finishes. This man did as much for the UFC as Chuck or Tito. Only flaw with Anderson is he's hanging on too long. Should've hung it up after Weidman #2.
Nah all yall are casuals lol. The guys right. As much as i like Silva the beat he fought in his prime are nothing compared the the type of guys we see now. Weidman is one of the few guys he fought who was super legit skill wise at the time. I'll give the spider his credit against hurting DC but he still lost obviously. But as for his prime years he really did fight cans. In his prime against the generation of fighters today, he would've took some losses. Imagine if he fought someone like Costa, or Robert, Jacare, hell even Izzy while in his prime. He would've had wars or lost alot. Cuz the fighters from his era were not as crafty, diverse or well rounded as the guys you see now. Hell Germaine de Randamie is known for her striking and then next thing you know she gets wrestle fucked by Amanda and next fight she puts her opponent out by guillotine. Anderson didnt fight well balanced fighters 🤷 i like Sliva but the evidence is there
For me he's the BEST! His prime fights are so CRAZY! You wouldn't know what is going to happen because of his incredible fighting style! He defeated at Rich Franklin's prime, Chael Sonnen's prime, Vitor Belfort's prime! Without him, the Middleweight division isn't so much entertaining.
@Home Kitchen like you've done something even close to as impressive as that in your life. Maybe that one time you ate 5 hamburgers in one sitting and put on 10 pounds in a day
@Home Kitchen Uh. You have forgotten the hype behind Griffen at the time. He was on a hot streak coming off TUF. He wasn't slow. Silva was just too damn fast
@Home Kitchen are you trying to 180 your statement of "nothing impressive" on Griffen now? Or what is happening I don't understand what you mean by getting paid to get your ass kicked
@@MihirMishra-pw4vf ok you are right about Jones but but Khabib is easily the goat in his division. Guy lost 1 round in his entire career I don't know what exactly you're looking for in his resume.
@@alexsaunders4156 i love izzy but he needs much more time to be on the same level of goat status that silva is, anderson would go in there and just wreck his opponents, he would move up and down between middleweight and light heavy because he ran out of competition at middle, he beat opponents that would piss hot after the fights. there will never truly be another ANDERSON SILVA
Silva is the reason I’m a huge mma fan today. My heart was always racing every he defended his UFC title. When he beat Chael in the rematch I was jumping and shouting in my house. He has brought us a lot of memorable G.O.A.T. moments.

Id rather see Khabib vs Gaethje than Silva vs Okami who? Marquadt who? Lutter who? Lmfao all bums and you say it was the UFCs best era?? GTFOH.
I remember watching Anderson Silva’s debut to the UFC. I was four years old and I immediately fell in love with his technique. He got me into MMA, and I remember almost all of these fights. Whether he wins or loses tomorrow it doesn’t matter to me...he will always be my hero and will always be one of the greatest fighters to ever live 🙏🏾💙
Lol his fights against Diaz and Maia were controversial lol Silva was finished bums guys who were unranked with losing records. Silva got destroyed by Weidman twice his first ranked opponent what does that tell you?
@Emerson Amaya The Leites and Maia fights were lackluster because they had nothing for Silva and you felt like Silva coasted and probably could’ve finished them if he went for it. I rewatched the Cote fight the other night and it wasn’t half as bad as I remembered or as the narratives suggest. So 2 “bad” performances (in which he was still dominant) in a 16 fight ufc run full of record breaking and jaw dropping finishes. It shows his greatness when you have to point out 2 fights that he dominated to criticize him.
@@SkeatKenworth how was the fight with Maia controversial? Maia landed like 3 strikes in the entire fight. U can hate on him not finishing Maia, but since he is the guy in the Octagon and not you he has the right to decide if he wants to ko an already beaten guy from his country or not. Also nick didn't do shit in the fight with Silva, I didn't remember nick winning a single round in that fight.

Never heard about this legend until some days back. Since then, I’ve been watching every of his fight on YT. I would have been honoured to watch him in his prime.
The GOAT in my opinion. I have yet to see anyone even come close. Put all the records & accolades aside and bring yourself back to watching Sliva in his prime, the things he would do & pull off inside the octagon was as Rogan says “something you only see in movies”. I have yet to see anyone come close.
Recency bias meaning the last 7 fucking years? He's an active fighter with an upcoming fight, quit circle jerking about how great he was and crying about the new fans that are growing the sport. You were once just as new and unfamiliar to MMA as they are, give them some time to get into it.
@@oscarkofoed534 wow chill. Totally has a point. He's saying these new fans that never watched all the old shit talk like they know when they really don't. Just like these youngins who never saw MJ play calling Lebron the goat.
He is the sum of a great cardio, awesome precision, amazing timing, outstanding technicality, a huge talent and a rock solid mindset.We can find UFC champs nowadays with 2 or 3 of this characteristics.
Silva vs Sonnen 1 was the most insane fight I've ever seen. Chael beat the crap out of him for 4 full rounds and at the start of the 5th Silva looks fresh and ready to go with not a mark on his face while Sonnen is all cut up and looking tired and discouraged. How the hell did he do it? THE G.O.A.T. 100%.
That was such a dominant display by Sonnen. I watched it the next day knowing he lost and I still thought he was going to win lmao. Story was he was juiced to the gills and his pee bag broke so he knew even if he won he would piss dirty and be stripped of the title. So he tanked it for a rematch. Or so I heard
Even if Silva isn’t officially the best....he fights more beautifully than anyone else that fights. He fights like a fucking action film. It doesn’t even look real the shit he does. He will forever ever be the best looking fighter
Perfect example of why you need to retire while you’re on top. Watching this only justifies Nurmagomedov’s decision to retire early. Don’t stick around to tarnish your legacy. Know when to hang the gloves up.

This dude was a magician, we won't see this level of striking ever again, maybe he isn't the GOAT, but he definitely is the greatest showman we have ever seen, no one can outstrike dudes with the guard down like him.
.Time doesn’t pass. We pass by the time. Time will always be here, but no long time wil ever be enough to erase this ethernal legend named Anderson Silva supposed to lay forever in the bottom of our hearts. Long life to you Great Legend who drops into history infinite inspiration to very many future generations.
Silva lost to not one but TWO former LWs one tapped him with a flying heel hook whos record is 12-15-2 And the other dominated him to a decision with a record of 50 percent wins and 50 percent losses. Silva also got mauled by Gomi who has 15 losses and gets KO everytime. Chonnan also tapped his ass a former WW whos record is 8-10. Lol people praise Silva like he’s the greatest MW champion of all times even though he has been beaten by OTHER MW champions like Israel, Weidman (2X)And Bisping. Silva beat non ranked fighters other than fucking Brunson who got robbed against Silva. Silva’s biggest wins are against guys with records like 20-15. Silva’s biggest wins are also against bums like Chael Sonnen who has 30 wins 17 losses and a draw who mauled Silva twice and made a HUGE mistake twice lol he’s not good. Silva beat a Belfort who came down from HW and LHW to MW for the first time in the UFC for more than a decade he also fought Belfort when Belfort was injured and off for almost 3 years. Lol he beat guys like Chole, Lutter, Newton, Sonnen, And Marquadt who all have lost 40 percent of their fights. Silva also has gifted decisions against WWs Diaz and Maia, Silva also used steroids his whole career he failed in 2015 when USADA was implemented and again in early 2017 lol cmon now Jon Jones gets hated for drug use yet Silva gets a pass for failing against former WWs?

I do think it's a mistake to leave out his snapped leg and his comeback from that injury. Silva truly was the GOAT, I don't think there ever will be a fighter as technically proficient as he was.
It's gonna be a sad day tomorrow when Anderson retires. He's actually the one who sparked my interest in MMA back in 2006 when he fought Leben. I was like who is this guy, he's AMAZING. Hearing that DMX "ain't no sunshine when it's on" while he walks to the cage gave me chills. Unfortunately, tomorrow may be his last walk to the cage. G.O.A.T.

This wasn't a series of title defenses. This was a reign of terror.
Truly!!!!!
truth. i loved rogans analogy. a ballet of violence
Well said. Best KO artist the UFC has ever seen, his complete UFC highlight reel is on YT, it's 14:00 of exactly that, terror.
Jajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajaja
Silva before the leg break was the greatest and most feared martial artist EVER. Domination. Power. Insane skill. Versatility. Showmanship.
Exactly. After the shameful fight against Weidman, Silva allowed himself to lose by accepting fights for money. But the fans (who were born after 2010) of Khabib and GSP will hate you. After Jon Jones, Silva is indisputably the best in MMA.
the GOAT for me, chuck liddell and matt hughes got me into ufc, anderson kept me.
SAME
Funny seeing you here
Liddell was terrorising the 205 division that was it me
@thoms jordan GTF OUTTA HERE
Same to me
Back when being the Goat meant you defended the crown more than anyone and in the most dominant fashion
khabibs career was too short to be a GOAT
Exactly. In 2010 it was blasphemy to claim anyone as the goat other than Anderson

9. Fedor Emelianenko
10. Khabib Nurmagomedov
@Norton X who's your top five ?
He is the GOAT, throw all the records and bullshit aside, when he was in his prime it was something special. He dominated like no one ever has.
The khabib fans have entered the chat
@@oct0slapzz891 khabib had a shorter streak and way less defences
The fact that Anderson is able to compete with someone like Izzy, while in his mid 40’s after such a long career and not get completely embarrassed shows how special he is. Izzy hit Silva with some good shots too, proving he still has a chin. Dodged a kick from Izzy that would’ve taken his head off and still had Izzy respecting him when he went forward.
The leg injury in his last fight was alarming, but it’s still amazing that he was able to perform this late in his career.
@Weghweh Hwewehwhe Why tf does it matter if a champ dominates with striking or wrestling? They are both facets of mma. Saying Khabib's striking is "REALLY really bad" is just so wrong. He has criminally underrated striking defence, and he was very competitively striking with Gaethje and Conor. You seem to ignore this
Ok casual 🤦♀️
It's so easy to tell that Silva grew up fighting a lot; his fighting style is so street-like. It's like bringing a Street soccer player from Brazil to play in the big leagues. e.g. (Ronaldinho, Neymar). These two both grew up playing street. That's why they're really good at creative dribbling and juggling. In the same sense, Anderson Silva is a very creative fighter with a refined fight IQ. Shout out to the people of Brazil.
He said he was trying to be Like Bruce Lee. Who ,was also a street fighter.
He’s definitely creative and playful in his fights, sure. But I don’t know if I’d say Silva has a “street fighting” style. The guy is an unbelievably technical and precise striker. Probably the most precise MMA striker of all time. His timing, footwork, defense and precision are all second to none, he’s been formally trained and has mastered multiple striking arts, and is a black belt in BJJ. I’ve never seen a “street fighter” with anywhere near that level of technical precision, nor have I ever seen anyone fight the way he does in a street fight.
@@therainman7777 he actually has... He talked about it in some brazilian podcasts... Its hard to find but if you type something like "anderson silva briga de rua" or "anderson silva 8 minutos" on youtube you may find some videos about him talking about it... Basically he grew up in Curitiba and he fought uncountable times in the streets, there were people from others gyms that when they saw each other on the streets... It was on sight, everytime. Thats how he started it

As someone said, it is easy to get carried away with people in the moment when they rip the world to shreds but almost a decade in retrospect, Prime Anderson was something else. He could do things people around him just could not do. He took the sport to a different level. A legend like no other and when things come to a standstill, for me the greatest, ever. Thank you, Anderson, it has been an honour.
Made me fall in love with the ufc. I’ll never forget watching his fight with sonnen, when he was getting dominated and about to lose and he somehow pulled out the victory. 🐐
Chael Sonnen is 30-17-1 and Silva needed a fluke to win. That tells me everything I need to know about Andertap Silvaroid.
@@SkeatKenworth what was the fluke
@@eoghancampbell1369 Dick Pills Baby!
Roids or not, he was dominating in an era where everyone was on steroids. He was knocking people out with precision and speed unmatched to this day. When your highlight video is 12 minutes long and it still leaves out some amazing finishes. This man did as much for the UFC as Chuck or Tito. Only flaw with Anderson is he's hanging on too long. Should've hung it up after Weidman #2.
Nah all yall are casuals lol. The guys right. As much as i like Silva the beat he fought in his prime are nothing compared the the type of guys we see now. Weidman is one of the few guys he fought who was super legit skill wise at the time. I'll give the spider his credit against hurting DC but he still lost obviously. But as for his prime years he really did fight cans. In his prime against the generation of fighters today, he would've took some losses. Imagine if he fought someone like Costa, or Robert, Jacare, hell even Izzy while in his prime. He would've had wars or lost alot. Cuz the fighters from his era were not as crafty, diverse or well rounded as the guys you see now. Hell Germaine de Randamie is known for her striking and then next thing you know she gets wrestle fucked by Amanda and next fight she puts her opponent out by guillotine. Anderson didnt fight well balanced fighters 🤷 i like Sliva but the evidence is there
For me he's the BEST!
His prime fights are so CRAZY!
You wouldn't know what is going to happen because of his incredible fighting style!
He defeated at Rich Franklin's prime, Chael Sonnen's prime, Vitor Belfort's prime!
Without him, the Middleweight division isn't so much entertaining.

Silva beat a Belfort who came down from HW and LHW to MW for the first time in the UFC for more than a decade he also fought Belfort when Belfort was injured and off for almost 3 years. Lol he beat guys like Chole, Lutter, Newton, Sonnen, And Marquadt who all have lost 40 percent of their fights. Silva also has gifted decisions against WWs Diaz and Maia, Silva also used steroids his whole career he failed in 2015 when USADA was implemented and again in early 2017 lol cmon now Jon Jones gets hated for drug use yet Silva gets a pass for failing against former WWs? Silva also has double digit losses. And Chris Weidman was his first ranked/ Undefeated fighter at the time and Chris dominated him in both fights won every single round. LOL SILVA BUM SLAYER SILVA LETS NOT FORGET SILVA HAD THE EASIEST ROAD TO UFC GOLD EVER HE BEAT UNRANKED FORMER WW CHRIS LEBEN WHO IS 22-12 TO GET A TITLE SHOT AND SILVA WAS ONLY ON A TWO FIGHT WINNING STREAK. SILVA ALSO BEAT A FORMER FUCKING SCHOOL TEACHER RICH FRANKLIN TO WHEN THE BELT😂😂 SILVA WAS UNRANKED WHEN HE WON THE BELT FROM A SCHOOL TEACHER. SILVA OVERRATED. AINT EVEN. CLOSE TO BEING A GOAT.
@@SkeatKenworth who hurt you?
majority of these new fans now really has no idea how good he was and how good the ufc was. they think what they see now is whats the best, they have no idea specially this bum up in the comments
@@PaganiKoenigsegg1 Good against what? Bums? Lmfao Silva literally beat unranked opponents there was no rankings back then. And of course the UFC now is the best are you dumb?? Id rather see Khabib vs Gaethje than Silva vs Okami who? Marquadt who? Lutter who? Lmfao all bums and you say it was the UFCs best era?? GTFOH.
Anyone else notice he hasn't aged in 20 years?
Its clear he has.
black don't crack my friend, i don't know what them fools below you are talking about lol
Maybe not in looks, but definitely in skill.

Check that fight out on 2001 he looks almost the same wtf
I remember watching Anderson Silva’s debut to the UFC. I was four years old and I immediately fell in love with his technique. He got me into MMA, and I remember almost all of these fights. Whether he wins or loses tomorrow it doesn’t matter to me...he will always be my hero and will always be one of the greatest fighters to ever live 🙏🏾💙
When I just got into mma I was always told about a guy named Anderson Silva the first few fights I watch of him I’ve been a fan ever since
Same. My Dad told me about Silva and he alone got me interested in MMA
Goat while everyone winning controversialy this man finishing everybody in spectacular dashion
Lol his fights against Diaz and Maia were controversial lol Silva was finished bums guys who were unranked with losing records. Silva got destroyed by Weidman twice his first ranked opponent what does that tell you?
@Emerson Amaya The Leites and Maia fights were lackluster because they had nothing for Silva and you felt like Silva coasted and probably could’ve finished them if he went for it. I rewatched the Cote fight the other night and it wasn’t half as bad as I remembered or as the narratives suggest.
So 2 “bad” performances (in which he was still dominant) in a 16 fight ufc run full of record breaking and jaw dropping finishes. It shows his greatness when you have to point out 2 fights that he dominated to criticize him.
He was a very dashionable guy.
@@SkeatKenworth how was the fight with Maia controversial? Maia landed like 3 strikes in the entire fight.
U can hate on him not finishing Maia, but since he is the guy in the Octagon and not you he has the right to decide if he wants to ko an already beaten guy from his country or not.
Also nick didn't do shit in the fight with Silva, I didn't remember nick winning a single round in that fight.
@@danielkabakov All Silva did was run from Maia and did you not see what Gilbert Burns the failed 155er did to Maia?? Lmfao Diaz is a former LW/WW who was making his MW debut on a TWO fight losing streak and Silva needed ROIDS and most people STILL think he lost that fight hahahahaha Silva Overrated.
Those were some epic moments. One of the best ever! 😁
Go to sleep kid.

Awesome to see a lot of people started watching ufc because of silva. I was shown his highlights by a friend and fell in love with ufc too
Never heard about this legend until some days back. Since then, I’ve been watching every of his fight on YT. I would have been honoured to watch him in his prime.
Anderson silva is the greatest fighter of All time and the funnest to watch it's the reason I started watching UFC
Legendary career, will truly miss him when he retires 💔
Brings back so many memories watching these. Parties on fight night, friends, and fights.
#1 GOAT in my book no doubt.
10 losses
Me too. I just love to watch him fight, more than anyone else
He cheated, he's a failure.
@@903-v8u He still cheated tho once or not GSP and Khabib were always clean

What a legend.
The GOAT in my opinion. I have yet to see anyone even come close. Put all the records & accolades aside and bring yourself back to watching Sliva in his prime, the things he would do & pull off inside the octagon was as Rogan says “something you only see in movies”. I have yet to see anyone come close.
Lmao hearing Silva’s name announced in that shooto clip made my day 😂😂👌
Yea LMFAOOOOO haha 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 especially when hes spinning around the same time and making it look like a dance move LOL 🤣
Go look up his michael jackson entrance in pride. You even get to see a wanderlei silva with hair

"Aint no sunshine"🌟...Thanks so much Spider, you was the GOAT of Goats, lm blessed to see your magic 🙏🏼🇧🇷
A plum gentleman, our Silva... pure class act...
Definitely the GOAT. Fans these days (ie. casuals) have such recency bias and forget how incredible Silva was.
He cheated tho meaning GSP is the Goat
Recency bias meaning the last 7 fucking years? He's an active fighter with an upcoming fight, quit circle jerking about how great he was and crying about the new fans that are growing the sport. You were once just as new and unfamiliar to MMA as they are, give them some time to get into it.
@@oscarkofoed534 wow chill. Totally has a point. He's saying these new fans that never watched all the old shit talk like they know when they really don't. Just like these youngins who never saw MJ play calling Lebron the goat.

@@jms2227 no he's not
What he did to Forrest was my favorite MMA moment ever
Anderson Silva is the man. Well deserved to be called the G.O.A.T. how he isn't in the hall of fame is beyond me
He is the sum of a great cardio, awesome precision, amazing timing, outstanding technicality, a huge talent and a rock solid mindset.We can find UFC champs nowadays with 2 or 3 of this characteristics.
Goat. The Goat, like him or not, man is a legend of the game
He had one of the most amazing career in the combat sports story .
Silva vs Sonnen 1 was the most insane fight I've ever seen. Chael beat the crap out of him for 4 full rounds and at the start of the 5th Silva looks fresh and ready to go with not a mark on his face while Sonnen is all cut up and looking tired and discouraged. How the hell did he do it? THE G.O.A.T. 100%.
That was such a dominant display by Sonnen. I watched it the next day knowing he lost and I still thought he was going to win lmao.
Story was he was juiced to the gills and his pee bag broke so he knew even if he won he would piss dirty and be stripped of the title. So he tanked it for a rematch. Or so I heard
The most spetacular fighter I ever Seen. Thats how I will remember about Anderson The Spider Silva.
Regardless of the losses, he still one of fav to ever compete in the ufc 💯🙏🐐. One of the greatest of all time
I was an inspiration to me growing up when I saw him fight James Irvin I wished he would fight every UFC event
Oh my, he's been fighting since Pride and even as he gets older he kicks ass, now in boxing.
This man’s precision!!! His punches to Carlos’ chin after the knee is a testament to how pinpoint accurate Silva is. Legendary!
The crowd was going insane when he fought chael a second time
Even if Silva isn’t officially the best....he fights more beautifully than anyone else that fights. He fights like a fucking action film. It doesn’t even look real the shit he does. He will forever ever be the best looking fighter
Thank you Anderson "the spider" Silva you give us all the wow factor when fighting
My favorite fighter… an one of The baddest dude’s on the planet 🙏🏾 what an honor to be able to witness the greatness of Anderson Silva 🐐
THE greatest of all time
GSP.
This man's reign is just unreal! It's like you are watching a movie. He's just that great in his prime!!

Perfect example of why you need to retire while you’re on top. Watching this only justifies Nurmagomedov’s decision to retire early. Don’t stick around to tarnish your legacy. Know when to hang the gloves up.

@@SkeatKenworth bruh what? Silva dominated the top competition forever and the stayed in the top 15 of his division till he was 45 name one other dude who never stopped fighting and stayed at the top competition
Khabib was the equivalent of retiring after he fought Dan Henderson. He should've retired after the adesanya fight.

- yes it was 😂😂😂😂😂
Sad seeing him go

Silva has the best walkout until Conor. The highest levels of anticipation imaginable

I really love Silva's fight style, he is no doubt one of the most unpredictable strikers ive seen
"was that a knee to the face?"
"yes it was".
awesome commentary
This dude was a magician, we won't see this level of striking ever again, maybe he isn't the GOAT, but he definitely is the greatest showman we have ever seen, no one can outstrike dudes with the guard down like him.
The fighter that started it all for me
.Time doesn’t pass. We pass by the time. Time will always be here, but no long time wil ever be enough to erase this ethernal legend named Anderson Silva supposed to lay forever in the bottom of our hearts. Long life to you Great Legend who drops into history infinite inspiration to very many future generations.
Seeing the lee murray fight again is mad. Lee murray is literally in jail for a massive bank robbery. The guy was/is a scary dude.
Gonna miss seeing Anderson Silva, in his prime i was so pumped watching his fights, so entertaining, i wish SIlva the best in life after fighting !
Obrigado Anderson por tudo que vc fez pelo esporte, obrigado por ter dado tanta alegria ao povo brasileiro, sempre estará em nossos corações .....
