One of the legends of the sport. Anderson Silva is a legend we will never forget what he has done for the sport!
I like the name
@@hska7 it was a low blow and was ignored by commentators because Nickal have to be new big american young star right
@@hska7 😂
@@WRNWRW no shit lol
Lmao nice name
I honestly think fans today don't realise how good Silva was. Closest thing to ninja we will ever see in the Octagon. He was the best in the world for literally years. He was and is SENSATIONAL!!!
@Jim ????🤡
Yeah nobody could even come close
people already calling izzy MW goat. they don't remember or they they don't know
@@iamjp1 they don’t know
@@iamjp1 Izzy is very close ngl Both achieved things that the other one didn't achieve
The greatest fighter of all time he raised the bar for what is possible in mma a role model and inspiration for me
The guy who fought as every kid imagine themselves fighting...👑👑🕷🕷
He fights like he's in a movie except its all real lol
middleweight goat. He is true legend, big respect!
He had one of the most impressive careers inside the octagon and I for one admired him as a kid. Very happy for him that he joins other greats in immortality!
@beau aloevv⛤ if that's the only place you know this man from son, I recommend you find a yt highlight reel for a quick catch up. Might learn a thing or two about whats what in the sport.
The Greatest Middleweight champion of all Time. Long over due to be in the Hall of Fame
The most exciting and unique fighter in the history of UFC. Will never be someone like him again.
I used to throw a lot of UFC PPV house parties when Anderson Silva was on the card. They were some of the most memorable moments of my life. Thank you for what you have done for the sport. Well deserved to the greatest middleweight of all time.
Same here, those where the days indeed.
How about gsp?
@@joshuaprouty8139 GSP always has my respect. The first UFC PPV I ordered ever was UFC 94. After that, I was hooked forever.
@@divinethug1 bro, I ordered UFC 101 and I can say that it was the biggest, wildest UFC PPV after party at my house ever. The next morning my friends and I went to the Waffle House in my area and saw Evander Holyfield with his family.
Same for me man, Anderson Silva has given us countless memories, a true legend 👏👏👏👏
Man I loved watching this dude fight back in the day. He definitely earned that HoF spot
Anderson Silva is one of the best fighters God ever made. He's without a doubt the most entertaining, the most electrifying, the most technical fighter the world has ever seen. Watching Anderson was better than watching a well choreographed martial arts movie.
The ine fighter that always kept me on the edge of my seat. Anderson in his prime was poetry in motion. Truly feel lucky to have witness a fighter that shifted the sport. Very deserved for the hall of fame! Much respect to the one and only Spider
Thoroughly well deserved! GOAT Spider!
I’m in tears watching this. Anderson Silva is without a doubt one of the greatest martial artists of all time and created a highlight reel that will never be replicated.
About time! Well deserved Middleweight Legend/GOAT 🐐🇧🇷👑
@@beaualoevv “Oh wow, Jake Paul beat a 47 year old retired MMA fighter in BOXING” 😂🤡
Retired in 2020 over Uriah Hall
Put Jake Paul in the ufc middle weight division and see what would happen
@@beaualoevv jake paul 0-1 vs pro boxers. Btw dude you have no life you are everywhere
@@beaualoevv Yeah, and what happened to your daddy once he fought an actual pro BOXER? Get a life bum 😂
Forget the greatest Middleweight, The GOAT of all time. He decimated his opponents in his terms with style. Untouchable in his prime. A true pioneer of the sport.
He was a magician in the octagon. He had the greatest prime in MMA history 2:05 - this right here. This was the greatest performance in UFC history
Facts
É verdade mesmo 🇧🇷
Lol no bro. Forrest isn’t a good enough opponent. Legendary moment for its time but no where near best performance you trippin
@@julian2238 Griffin was a former light heavyweight champ and Silva made him look like a random fan stepped into the octagon with him. From 2006 to 2011, Silva was the best of the best. I would say his headkick KO of Belfort was more impressive though.
Yeah if matrix exists: we can witness it here
The most skilled mma fighter that ever walked this earth. 🐐
Spider the legend! Thank you for everything you bringed to the game.
Probably the most deserving entrant to date, living through his run was something to behold. New fans who missed that time just don’t know how special it really was. Really happy for him.
Facts💯
All fans of MMA owe this man a great deal. Not only for the amazing and memorable fights he gifted us but also for all the fighters he inspired to get into the sport. One of the greatest to ever do it. We honor you Spider 🤙
Had the highest peak out of any UFC fighter in history, greatest highlight reels, most title defenses. No doubt on the Mount Rushmore. 💯
Demetrious Johnson took his record for the most defenses. Funny enough, Mighty Mouse most likely will never join the UFC Hof.
@@bamgbose3309 nah mighty mouse will make it in, even with how much disrespect the ufc showed him they are not stupid enough to leave him out of their HOF, he was just too good to ignore.
@@bamgbose3309 i think he will go once he gets out of ONE
TJ said it perfectly "he was in the Matrix before the Matrix even existed". In his prime Anderson made some of the greatest fighters in the world look like children. An absolute wizard and OG legend of the sport.
Much love Anderson thanks for the memories ❤
The Spider is, simply put, the greatest Middleweight of all time. He did things in the cage you didn’t think were possible. The legacy of Anderson Silva will now live forever as he takes his rightful and deserved place in the UFC Hall of Fame.
Jake Paul. Eat him up 😂
@@jahr4c1 yeah he’s a boxer and Anderson Silva was retired and well past his prime . You loser 😂😂😂. He’s like 47 years old and Jake Paul loves old fighters
@@jahr4c1 Anderson silva was 47 years old, prime Anderson Silva would smoke Jake Paul in boxing
It's about time! Long overdue! I watched all his fights during his prime. Watching his highlight reels again reminds me of why he's one of the best, if not THE best, ever. Obrigado, legend 🎉🎉🎉
It's about damn time. Absolute legend.
a legend and a gentleman. we won't forget.
If he retired earlier he‘d be recongnized as the G.O.A.T by way more people
Don't know. I think gsp is still way more impressive.😊
@@moshefabrikant1he’s not
@joceja23 he was more talented than silva tho
@joceja23 I disagree cause there are things gsp can do that Silva just can't like grappling. Gsp out wrestled all American champion wrestlers. And that's with never wrestling n school. Plus I think he faced tougher competition tbh
@joceja23 people only started saying that after he kicked belfour. Plus he had worse losses than gsp. Gsp avenged his two losses
My number 1 favorite fighter of all time. I really really miss his glory days and watching his unbelievable performances. Truly a legend, and very well deserved hall of famer.
Silva fights exactly how we think we fight in our heads
In my opinion the greatest striker the UFC has ever seen. Well deserved HOF induction for Spider Silva. Congrats!
@Jim ? Everyone's run ends at some point either by retirement, a loss, or both. Losing to Weidman take nothing from what he accomplished. Sooner or later the run was going to end, that night happened to be the night the streak snapped.
@Jim Khabib is highly overrated in my opinion. He did not defend his belt to near the extent of other greats in Jones, GSP, Silva. He quit in his prime, which is fine, but he didn't last as champion for a long time. He never fought Tony Ferguson, a major fighter in his division and that leaves a question that will never be answered in what that fight would've looked like if both fighters were in their primes. I think Tony would've given him a real fight. Not fighting Ferguson also means Khabib DID NOT clear out his division and face down all comers. For these reasons, I can never put Khabib up there with GSP or Silva or Jones. He isn't on my Rushmore. His undefeated record is not as impressive to me as even Mighty Mouse who defended his belt so many times, or Nunes who has been dominating 2 divisions for years. Jones is the LHW Goat, but lets see what he does at HW, and he is not undefeated. He lost to Matt Hamill by DQ. It was not a loss that hurt his stock in any way, but it is still a loss.
@Jim Jon has lost.
@Jim khabib also retired early and had less fights then Anderson Silva win streak in the ufc lol
@@SpyroTek not really
One of the all time greats. There will be never another anderson silva in the UFC. It´s like watching Khabib, McGregor, St. Pierre, Aldo or Jon Jones you could clearly see that he was above everyone in his peak. I first saw the flying knee on television in a pride fighting event, where he KO´d his enemy via a flying knee. I will never forget this moment, or how he demolished Forrest Griffin. So many memories. Thank you Anderson.
This man is the Middleweight Goat. Without a doubt. Mount Rushmore of Goats JBJ Anderson Silva GSP Mighty Mouse
we'll never see anyone getting close, those who saw it know, those who don't, missed the peak of what mma can be. An insane monster in the octagon
I remember growing up as a kid watching him and being amazed. I always remember thinking one thing every single time I saw him fight and I would think to myself “am I watching the modern Muhammad Ali” it was nothing short of a miracle. I am truly honored and humbled to be able to say I’ve seen this man perform live on paper view. I will honor and cherish the time I had to while watching him perform. Anderson “The Spider” Silva and will always be remembered till the end of time. Thank you ❤️❤️❤️❤️
The legend Anderson Silva! One of the all time UFC greats 👏👏👏👏 So many unforgettable memories, congratulations on the hall of fame induction 🕷
Anderson Silva the GOAT 🐐
He got me into BJJ and UFC back in 2011. One of the greatest of all time!
i MISS THAT ERA
Congratulations to one of the greatest fighters ever Anderson the Spider Silva
My Absolute Favorite fighter ever! Making the Anderson name very proud!
He was multiple levels ahead of the competition. So many special moments. Huge grats
SILVA DA GOAT
He's a pioneer of MMA. His legacy is both cemented & immortalized.
Sem dúvida ele é o maior lutador de todos os tempos, uma verdadeira Lenda
The legend silva this how i start watching ufc cuz of him we grow up with him!!the best of the best!!
Anderson Silva represent o MMA no mundo! Lenda Viva! Parabéns 🎉👏🏼
This guy right here is a jack of all trades, a legend, and a master of his own craft. To see him make it to the HOF is incredible, the way he followed the martial art philiosophy and the bushido code shows how good he really is. Good job Anderson Silva, the 🕷 lives on
glad I got to experience this... from the moment i saw him fight i was like "holy shit this guy is different" and he went on to be the goat... he stands out above all the others. to me personally he is the greatest.
All this promo and no one dares to say the GOAT? In a time where every title win is immediately “the goat” it’s a shame. He was the one and only truly GOAT of this sport. Love you Anderson!
Jon jones > Jake Paul > GSP > Dennis Siver>
@@unclebridge159 Bro included Jake Paul 😂. FOH kid
@Tribhuvan Singh Shekhawat youtubers
@Tribhuvan Singh Shekhawat he is an mma fighter bruv
@Tribhuvan Singh Shekhawat i was joking with the youtubers thing
GOAT of all GOATS
A well deserved place in the Hall Of Fame! 💯
A role model for as many of today's top fighters as Bruce Lee did back then. Something like this only happens once in a lifetime. Anderson we love you all over the world
Anderson Silva undoubtedly was the person that changed the classic UFC/MMA era to the modern era. Congrats.
A costado eh, se les hizo difícil, por fin, gran campeón y uno de los más completos artistas marciales mixtos que los dioses de las MMA puso en la tierra
Thank you spider for all the memories, one of the best ever!
Middleweight Goat..
For sure top 5 UFC fighters of all time in my opinion He inspired us and he was just a living highlight reel
imo he 4th behind Gsp,mighty mouse, and Jon Jones
@@HoodGon Agreed
N° 2 imo
@@HoodGon definitely above dj
@@HoodGon Behind gsp? The profissional hugger? LOL Never, Anderson was magic inside the octagon with highlight finishes and most title defenses, GSP just hug people. Anderson fought better competition than DJ plus more records.
Reebok: That's my boy right there, Anderson "The Spider" Aldo
Brasil tem orgulho ❤💪
Hell Yeah! The 💛🕷🖤
Nobody can fight like this guy🔥🔥
Jake Paul beat the crap out of him 😂
It was so criminal from Dana not to recognize Silva as a HallOfFamer, this homage feels kind of uncomplete without JonJones quotes about Silva. The best quotes of this video are by TJ Dillashaw.
Top 4 p4p all time, well deserved!!! First fight card I ever saw was him vs Forrest, it was insane!!! Feel like he should be in modern wing but I don’t think it matters
Top 4 of all time but gets beat up by a KZheadr Jake Paul?
@@jahr4c1bro, he was 50 years old
A true legend
Thank you Anderson, for all the amazing memories watching your fights.
Well deserved. God bless the spider
The best 🕷️🇧🇷💥
I love this man he Is my idol and I do his combos in thai sparring he is the goat of ufc and all combat sport ❤
Jake Paul beat the crap out of him 😂
I was about 8 years old the first time I seen Anderson Silva. Top 3 ever since. Certainly the greatest of his time
Jamahal Hill, TJ Dillashaw, Israel Adesanya, Aljerman Sterling and Claudia praising him, Silva is a Hero
You deserve it brother 🙏 God Bless you and your familia 🙏
Watched this video multiple times! Gives me chills! He's the reason I started watching this sport. Always will be my all time favorite fighter. 🕷️ 🐐

Nothing will beat growing up watching these dudes fight these guys were heros to me and legends to the sports
He definitely deserves it the greatest middleweight in history Anderson the spider Silva 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷 forever
this class has so many massive names on its list. but this man here?? this man here deserves the marquee spot and should be given as much time as he ants to speak and address everyone around the world. he has MORE than earned it.
Anderson Silva is my mom’s favorite he’s one of my favorites and we wanted this to happen and now it’s happening all I can say it’s about dang time
This was THE guy, that made ordinary guys like me love MMA, back in the days the sport was still struggling and evolving. A legend ahead of his time.
This video should have millions of views 🙏🏼❤️
His elite career brought some many people in the world of UFC. One of the first MMA superstars that became a household name.
One of the greats in the sports and greatest Brazilian fighter🇧🇷. Parabens Anderson 👏🏻🥇

Anderson walked so most of UFC could run. There will never be another fighter that could do it like him. A true hall of famer. ANDERSOOOOON THE SPYDEEEEEERRRRR SILVAAAAAAAA
Anderson silva came in at the perfect time in the sport. He was a naturally gifted counter striker in an age of brawlers and he was brazilian so him and all his friends practiced a ton of bjj. Dude was blessed
You forgot to mention he was in the chute boxe camp with wanderlei silva, the rua brothers ,pele and cyborg(the male one)
Anderson Silva fights how we imagine ourselves fight. The swag, accuracy, and pure lethality of the strikes. Greatness.
Yes!!! Thank you UFC!!!
