Why is Anderson Silva not at the Hall of Fame?

The “Spider” in mixed martial arts is Anderson Silva, a Brazilian-American expert. His fame and wealth have grown as a result of his many UFC records. With 16 straight victories, the 6 feet 2 inch mixed martial artist owns the UFC record for both the longest winning streak and the longest reign as champion, having held the Middleweight title for 2,457 days. As one of the finest mixed martial artists, Anderson Silva is highly acclaimed.

After signing a contract with the UFC in 2006, Anderson stunned Chris Leben in just 49 seconds of the fight with a stunning knockout victory.

He eventually prevailed over tough opponents like Rich Franklin, though, and took home the middleweight title.
