I don't care what they say, Anderson Silva is one of the greatest! This man made my childhood super freaking awesome.

Feel sorry for those that never seen this man’s prime. Truly one of one.

The man that got me into MMA. Had never seen anything like it in my life. Poetry in motion. True artistry. Matrix material. Jaw dropping.

Without a doubt, Anderson “The Spider” Silva is the true GOAT. A masterful martial artist who redefined the sport. Before him, no one could have imagined movements like his were even possible.

Respect to the GOAT, the reason I fell in love with the sport. Most importantly, the reason I began my journey into Muay Thai. THANK YOU, SPIDER.

The true goat of mma

Undisputed GOAT

This is our hero. True lovers of this art

From Pride to UFC, Anderson was one of the sole reasons I started watching the UFC again, in 2005 it was TUF and Anderson. Before UFC it was all Pride.

The reason I have always taken Anderson Silva as the true GOAT of the UFC is not just for statistical reasons. But it's two special things: 1. His fighting style is enticing and spectacular. He dominated his opponents so much that one wondered if he was from this world or if he was an Avenger. 2. His thirst for combat. He accepted all fights without calculating the momentum and whoever his opponent was. He could accept 10 fights in 1 year to atomize his contenders in the middleweight category, just as he could accept 1 fight in the higher category just a few days before the event. And even after his tibia fracture, he still had his gnac and his vision but only the physical had regressed. On the other hand, what disappointed me a little about him was that, after having seen and rewatched the fight against Weidman several times, he really lacked seriousness. In the end, he found stronger than him: Himself because if he hadn't acted like that by taunting Chris so much, he would have knocked this guy out very quickly. No doubt a human feeling after such a long domination without real competition.

Anderson Silva has the best prime run in ufc history 2006-2012

Anderson in his prime was just amazing! Fighters like Cro Cop and Liddel got me into the sport. Anderson made me a fan on different level. People say he couldn't hang with the killers today... are you crazy?! The skill level is immense. He'd be a dominant champion even today!

The UFC making Anderson fight Izzy and Uriah Hall at almost 45 years old is borderline criminal

Anderson Silva was the one that made me a MMA fan. He's style was unreal

My friend showed me some silva highlights back in 2010. Became a fan of ufc after that

UFC needs to have a playlist with all these compilations, i hate searching through power slap bullshit to find it on their channel

This guy was unpredictable, such a good fighter ! One of the greatest for sure, proudto be Brazilian. God bless y'all.

The king of the GOATS. Anderson did things others could not do, the man lived in the matrix.

The Spider's two victories over Sonnen were wonderful. The first victory where the Spider was beaten for a good part of the fight but won in the end was very rewarding. But the most gratifying scene in UFC history, in my opinion, is Sonnen's scared face.

Anderson Silva I’m one of your biggest fans everytime I see you fight I put everything on hold because I know it’s will be a awesome fight

Yes. GOAT. Showman inside of the ring, not on the mic. Not goofy or cringy, just impressive and innovative.

This is the real GOAT

Nosso Pelé do MMA! 🇧🇷

My favorite of all time. Its like christmas today for me

Dude Whoever idea this was, LEGEND! THANK YOU!!!

Yes! THE GOAT! 🐐

Love seeing The OGs get some love. Post some Randy Couture next he never gets any respect 🙏

Finally UFC realising who is the real LEGEND THE SPIDERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR. SILVAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.

True GOAT

Every UFC event people are talking about a new "GOAT" but this man right here is the true GOAT with GSP as a close second.

The absolute GOAT, and really fan friendly style

Damn I got here early. Anderson is truely one of the best entertainers and fighters

Eu virava a madrugada aqui no Brasil pra ver o Spider lutar 😊 e foi por causa dele que eu acompanho o ufc ate hoje .

Unique spider, the black widow. GOAT.

Prime Anderson Silva was probably one of the best fighters in all of combat sports.

Rounds 1-3 of the Maia fight are some of the absolute greatest display of striking dominance we’ve ever seen. Finish or not that shit was as beautiful as it gets

The reason I started taking Muay Thai

Rich's inability to deal with the clinch was wild

It´s good to see some love from the world to our brazilian GOAT, make sure to share this love with him on socials guys

Greatest fighter period. Anderson was the only fighter in UFC history who had the kind of aura that gave the audience the feeling that it was just a matter of time until he dropped one more body to the canvas. No one had that after him.

simply the best

Top 5 for damn sure.

And thats the marathon i needed today 😍

Silva is such an intelligent fighter, really exceptional skills

He was the first CLEAR ufc goat. Now its bones Jones

Are there better overall competition in the UFC today? Yes. But to me Anderson had something special about him that I have yet to see again. He’ll always be my favorite fighter.

I cant believe I'm late Anderson Silva's the only one I don't sing Portuguese Love for because I love him like he my uncle

Ele é o Ronaldinho Gaúcho do MMA

He is the GOAT when we look to fighters in their prime!

Spider is unique no matter who holds the belt today this guy is the ultimate and unbeatable

Legend of MMA and UFC

What Silva did against Cote was bizarre. Absolutely master.

Man that knee to Franklin’s face was so sick, the guy nearly died. Awesome sport gents.

The spider the goat..

I was so sad when Chris Weidman beat him up. My dad Stu used to say, "Every fight is a learning experience, no matter the outcome"😎

GOAT Striker ever

Se até o UFC sente saudades dele, quem sou eu pra não sentir?

Anderson ist perfect

I feel so lucky to have seen this man arrive in the UFC and retire in the UFC. Jon Jones was incredible, especially when he beat Shogun, but skill for skill, Anderson Silva is the GOAT.

Still my favorite fighter of all time!!

Anderson silva great fighter ..wish you all the best ..god bless you silva i love you 🙏❤️😊💐💐💐👍😍😊

Rich looked so scared before that first fight. He even copied Anderson’s prayer because he was so worried about him.

MMA hasn't been the same since he left...

I miss the old UFC, thanks for this

Silva reigned for a long time.

Charles oliveira deserves a Marathon too ❤❤

The greatest genius of the octagon

Oh my god, happy for Anderson The spider Silva Nice Nice man .

silva 16 wins in the raw 10 defense title 7 years of the champion reign its the better middleweight ever no one can reach his level

This type of content is good for the soul 🙌

Without a doubt the greatest striker to enter the cage. Could of gone unbeaten but got bored. My goat 🐐

No one ever did the way he did, this is a pro beating other pros like they were amateurs and he did it against the very best

the best, the greatest, the king of mma. p4p numba 1 of all time. now and forever.

Anderson had very underrated ground and pound. Most ground and pounders just throw blind punches and hope some of them land, Anderson faked two or three times until he found an opening and then delivered a big, clean one. He did that multiple times to multiple opponents.

Yes without any doubt hands down high fight IQ with an imagination the best I've ever seen

Anderson Silva uma lenda viva...

Everybody loves Anderson Silva - The real goat

Anderson silva is the greatest one

Silva was unbeatable when he wasn't clowning around. He was the greatest imo.

Simple the best, i miss the UFC golden era

greatest UFC fighter along with GSP and DJ

Gentlemen, we who witness this men’s greatness in his prime are very privileged…

His kicks are devastating

A LEGEND!

YES

56:24 best mma moment

Silva for me,is like a character from a Jackie Chan movie or Van Damme's.(i dont know ,who to describe it). the guy is unreal

4:05 absolute monster!

Di setiap pertarunganya, dia selalu menikmati, memberi kesempatan lawan untuk bernafas dan menyerangnya kembali, tidak ada unsur kebetulan poada setiap kemenanganya, semua karena keunggulannya, Master Asilva

懐かしい レスリングはうまくないけど下からでも打撃を狙える手足の長さと極めれる柔術スキル 立ち技ではフェイントを交えた戦い方とリーチの長さで相手の集中力を乱し一撃を狙う。パーフェクトだ

A true GOAT of the UFC

GOAT

The Goat period.

The Greatest of All Time 🐑

I didn't know Jim Carrey was middleweight champion

Just like with Tyson, YOU HAD TO BE THERE! Best time of my 20s was getting drunk with my friends and watching this guy put on a martial arts masterclass display that we'll never see again. It was a truly golden era to behold and I witnessed it firsthand. A time to be alive. Smh took it for granted because UFC isn't the same

The best of all time by far

🐐

My favorite fighter of all time and the best Middleweight of all time

THE GOAT
