In the sport of Mixed Martial Arts, Anderson “The Spider” Silva sits alone as a symbol ofgreatness – a fighter whose complete domination of his contemporaries must be measuredagainst titans of other sports. If you understand what figures like Ali, Jordan, Phelps, or Boltmeant to their sports, you have an inkling of what Silva’s prime was like to watch when ithappened.
Across his 14-year UFC career, he set the record for consecutive victories, consecutive finishes in the modern era, the most knockouts and submissions in middleweight championship history, and defended the UFC middleweight championship 10 times – a divisional record. He toppled
figures like Sonnen, Okami, Belfordt, Henderson, Franklin, and Griffin all while holding the UFC title for nearly 7 years – the longest stretch of time in promotional history.
