Top 25 MMA Fighters of All Time

3. Anderson “The Spider” Silva (34-10, 1NC)

Anderson Silva is the best striker in MMA history. During his 17-fight win streak and 10 title defenses he toyed with the competition; notoriously known for taunting and belittling opponents before sending them to the canvas. This made him one of the most hated and beloved fighters in the UFC simultaneously, but regardless whether you rooted for him or against him, Anderson was a showtime fighter that packed bars and had pay per sales sky rocketing. His best KO was against Vitor Belfort when he landed a brutal front kick to the chin that buckled Belforts knees and put him down. Eventually, Silvas cockiness got the best of him when Chris Weidman caught him with a quick combination during a classic Anderson troll, and handed him his first loss in 7 years.
