Paul, who shared the ring with “The Spider” back in 2022, has consistently shown admiration for the Brazilian legend. This week, when it was announced that Silva would complete his trilogy against Chris Weidman, Paul took to social media to make his feelings unmistakably clear.

“If Anderson Silva isn’t in your top 5 of all time, you don’t know jack about MMA,” Paul wrote on X, defending the 50-year-old’s place among the sport’s immortals and shutting down any lingering doubts about his greatness.

Why Jake Paul believes Silva’s legacy still matters

For many newer fans, Silva’s prime years have faded into history. Yet his record tells the story of sustained dominance: a 16-fight win streak, the longest in UFC history, spanning from 2006 to 2012. During that stretch, Silva dismantled elite contenders such as Dan Henderson, Chael Sonnen, and Vitor Belfort, combining precision striking with creativity rarely seen inside the Octagon.

While his career eventually slowed — punctuated by a broken leg and late-career losses — Silva’s aura as the greatest middleweight champion remains largely untouchable. Paul’s words served as both a tribute and a reminder that greatness doesn’t vanish with age or circumstance.

Can Anderson Silva add one more chapter?

As Silva prepares to meet Weidman one final time, the combat sports world watches with curiosity rather than expectation. For Jake Paul, the matchup is more than nostalgia — it’s a chance to remind fans of what true greatness looks like, even years removed from the top.

The bout between Jake Paul and Gervonta “Tank” Davis is expected to generate massive excitement, but it won’t be the only fight drawing attention from fans.

With less than a month to go, it has been confirmed that two UFC icons will collide in a matchup no one saw coming: Anderson Silva vs. Chris Weidman.

Anderson Silva returns to boxing for a third showdown against Chris Weidman

The return of one of the greatest fighters in UFC history is on the horizon. Anderson Silva has officially been announced as part of the undercard for the Jake Paul vs. Gervonta Davis event — and his opponent will be a familiar face.

The Brazilian legend is set to face Chris Weidman on November 14 in a six-round heavyweight boxing bout. This will mark their third meeting overall, but the first time they’ll fight outside the Octagon.

Their first two encounters took place in the UFC back in 2013, when they battled for the middleweight title. Weidman won both fights — the first by knockout, and the second after Silva suffered a horrific leg break in one of the most unforgettable moments in MMA history.

Since retiring from mixed martial arts, Silva has stayed active through boxing, including a previous bout against Jake Paul. Weidman, now 41, will be making his boxing debut against the Brazilian icon, looking to secure his third victory in their storied rivalry — this time, using only his fists.

The NHL is a harsh business, players put their bodies on the line night in and night out. Stars must be protected by the tougher, bigger players on the roster. But when things are going south, it takes for everybody to dig a bit deeper.

Hockey is full of clichés, and while toughness is essential to endure the physicality and grind of an 82-game regular season, the term ‘being physical’ is one cliché that is often overused to the point of losing its original meaning.

Bedard knows in which areas he can help the team the most, and he issued a strong message to Chicago’s interim coach Anders Sorensen, making something clear about his strengths.

“Being hard to play is different for everyone. There’s guys that are gonna be throwing big hits, it’s not really me,” Bedard stated during media availability, per CHGO Blackhawks on X. “I just need to make the smart plays and try to win my battles. Being harder to play against isn’t just physicality. It’s when you don’t give a f—.”

While Sorensen knows better than to expect the franchise’s cornerstone to put his body on the line every night, it’s always refreshing and motivating for the team when the superstar shows emotion and is willing to make a sacrifice for the greater good. Occasional displays of grit are appreciated, but if they become routine, it crosses the line into outright recklessness.

Bedard’s message to teammates with actions

Everybody in the Blackhawks locker room is aware that keeping Bedard out of trouble on the ice is paramount, especially during a season with low expectations and going through a rebuild. However, Bedard showed his teammates he’s not gonna shy away from conflicts when it arises.

During the Hawks’ game against the Minnesota Wild on Dec. 23, Bedard showed his fiery side, appearing ready to drop the gloves with Minnesota’s Marco Rossi. That kind of attitude from the young Chicago superstar was met with deep appreciation.

Bedard speaks about Tyler Bertuzzi

During Wednesday’s media availability, Bedard was asked about his linemate, Tyler Bertuzzi, with whom Bedard has built quite some chemistry and has become his most reliable teammate on the ice.

“[Bertuzzi] is probably the best guy in the league, you know, being kind of slippery in front of the net. It’s not easy. People talk about tap in, but it’s not a tap, those goals are hard to put in,” Bedard said about Bertuzzi. “He’s just so smart. It wouldn’t be a fun job having to deal with that as defensemen. He’s making my job a lot easier.”

Bedard is now holding a seven-game point streak (three goals and six assists), and interestingly enough, every assist during that span has been on goals scored by Bertuzzi.

GM Kyle Davidson reveals conversations with Bedard about prospects

The Blackhawks have yet to provide Connor Bedard with a top-tier roster. Instead of being the finishing touch to a rebuild, Bedard is its foundational piece. Chicago is expected to acquire top talents through the upcoming Drafts, joining the likes of Frank Nazar, Artyom Levshunov, and Oliver Moore.

However, most of these prospects are still developing and not yet NHL-ready, with the exception of Nazar, who was recently called up.

While Bedard is focused in the present and hopes to turn the season around, he is also invested in the long-term solution and as General Manager confessed during an interview, he is often interested in hearing about the future of the organization.

“He’ll ask how some of the prospects are doing and how they’re looking,” Davidson said about Bedard, via insider Elliotte Friedman. “Because he’s formed relationships with these players either at training camps or development camps or the draft. How are they doing and how are they looking? And we always have a pretty active dialogue, especially around world junior time.”

A few years ago, Jake Paul began his journey in professional boxing. The YouTuber has sought to challenge top pugilists and is now set to face a legend like Mike Tyson.

In 2022, Paul fought Anderson Silva, one of the greatest UFC icons. Now, the Brazilian has discussed Jake’s upcoming bout, sharing why the fight against Iron Mike has captivated everyone.

Anderson Silva addresses the upcoming Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson fight

ake Paul is determined to continue his journey in professional boxing. The YouTuber has had 11 bouts so far, with only one loss to Tommy Fury. Now, he faces another major challenge in his career.

The 27-year-old will take on Mike Tyson in November. Iron Mike, 58, retired in 2005, with his most recent fight in 2020 against Roy Jones Jr., but the bout against Paul is set to be more challenging for him.

While many analysts view the match as potentially “easy” for Paul due to Tyson’s age, Anderson Silva, who fought Paul in 2022, has explained why this bout is so captivating for fans.

“I mean, that’s so interesting. A lot of people say oh Mike Tyson’s old – it doesn’t matter,” Silva said. “It’s a different game, it’s a different sport. It’s entertaining. It’s not the same when you see Canelo and the other different level boxing guys.”

Silva also noted that Jake Paul deserves more respect, as he has proven to be a skilled fighter. “Why the people don’t respect this kid?” the UFC legend said. “I respect him a lot because the kid changed the whole game in this era.”

What is Anderson Silva’s net worth?

As of 2024, Anderson Silva’s net worth is estimated at $18 million. He built his wealth through a successful UFC career, endorsements, and pay-per-view bonuses.

In addition to MMA, Silva has ventured into boxing, acting, and business investments, including a notable fight with Jake Paul, further increasing his net worth.

It will be the return of renowned YouTube star Jake Paul to the boxing ring after his two fights against former UFC Welterweight Champion, Tyron Woodley. Originally, the fight would be against Hasim Rahman Jr., but with no agreed weight limit, Paul went out in search of a new opponent.

And the one who decided to take on the challenge was the former UFC Middleweight Champion Anderson Silva, who has a short experience in professional boxing (this will be his fifth fight in this sport). It will undoubtedly be a fight of ages, since the former MMA is 47 years old while his rival is 25 years old.

The chosen one was the former UFC Middleweight Champion Anderson Silva, who also has a short record as a boxing fighter. His debut was not the most auspicious, losing against Osmar Luiz Teixeira but then he recovered by winning his next three fights. For the former MMA it will be his fifth fight in boxing.

It is known that recently the fights between celebrities and real boxers have developed. Jake Paul has been keen on the idea to become professional by facing fighters that could be difficult for him.

Recently, the former actor has revealed he wants a top contestant for a fight. Jake Paul has said that his next step is Canelo Alvarez, but first he needs to defeat Anderson Silva next October.

Michael Bisping attacks Jake Paul and his desire to defeat Anderson Silva

Jake Paul and Anderson Silva will face each other in October 29 in Arizona. The Brazilian will un-retire from professionalism to fight against the former actor, but not everyone thinks it is a good idea.

“Jake Paul’s young, he’ll be afforded that luxury, he’ll be afforded that leeway to say, ‘You lost to a legend’. If Silva loses to Jake Paul, I’ll be devastated because Jake Paul doesn’t deserve to have a victory over Anderson,” said Michael Bisping, UFC’s legend, on his YouTube channel.

After his fight against Hasim Rahman Jr. scheduled for August 6 was cancelled a week before it was scheduled to take place, Jake Paul moved quickly to book his next boxing match, and that’s how he has already agreed to fight Anderson Silva on October 29 at the Gila River Arena in Phoenix, Arizona.

The curious thing is that although his legacy as a fighter was built in the world of Mixed Martial Arts, where he has been one of the best exponents in the history of the UFC, in boxing he has already faced and defeated a world champion, Julio Cesar Chavez Jr., something that Jake Paul has not done yet.

How old is Anderson Silva?

A true physical prodigy is Anderson Silva. Born in Brazil, he had a hard life that made him strong since he was a child. Thus, having been born on April 14, 1975, he currently looks in magnificent physical shape and keeps competing in the elite of the world of fights, MMA or boxing, at 47 years of age.

How tall is Anderson Silva?

Silva is a big guy in stature. His next opponent, Youtuber Jake Paul, is 1.85 meters / 6.1 feet, and is outweighed by the size of the Brazilian who stands at 6’2″ or 1.88 meters. That allows him to have a long reach with his long arms.

What is Anderson’s Silva’s weight class?

Because of Anderson Silva’s size, it is impossible for him to fight in small weight classes. During his career as a UFC fighter, he competed at Middleweight, that is, between 171 and 185 pounds. In his fights as a professional boxer he has fought at Light heavyweight (175 pounds) and Cruiserweight (under 200 pounds). It is in the latter category that Jake Paul has made his boxing career and in which will surely be his fight on October 29.

What is Anderson’s Silva’s fight record?

Anderson Silva’s brilliant career in the world of fights is divided in two: his golden step as a Mixed Martial Arts fighter, mainly in the UFC where he holds the record of the longest championship in the history of the company with 2457 days of duration, and his still discreet boxing career. His record in MMA: 46 fights, 34 wins and 11 losses. His boxing record: 4 fights, 3 wins, 1 loss (2 KOS).

What are Anderson Silva’s social media profiles?

Perhaps none of the 5 opponents Jake Paul has faced as a professional boxer so far has been able to compete him not only in the ring but in the social media arena like Anderson Silva does. The Spider has a large follower base: on Twitter he has 7 million followers (surpassing Jake Paul’s 4), and on Instagram he has 4.5 million (well below Paul’s 20.6).

This year, Silvareturned to professional boxing after being dismissed from the UFC and has been doing so ever since. With Julio Cesar Chavez Junior he faced up against an experienced veteran, but he managed tocome out on top. Meanwhile,Alberto El Patron was Ortiz’s last opponent at Combate Americas 51 in 2019. The year before, he had beaten Chuck Liddell in the opening round of a trilogy match.

Before Evander Holyfield and Vitor Belfort square off in the main event, this 195lbs bout will serve as a co-event.In the other two matchups, the former heavyweight champion David Haye will face Joe Fournier, and Andy Vences will come against Jono Carroll in a 130-pound duel.

Anderson Silva vs Tito Ortiz: Storylines

It took Silva nearly twice as many punches to defeat Chavez Jr. and the judges gave him a split decision victory. Silva shows no signs of slowing down, stating that he has three more years of fighting in him.

Ortiz has won three of his previous four fights in the opening round, including victories against Chuck Liddell and Chael Sonnen.Silva is the bookies’ favorite to win the eight-round bout against Ortiz.

While the UFC hasn’t been around for long, there are still some very impressive records that we don’t see being broken for some time. From fastest knockouts to most consecutive wins, we have it all.

These records are all as of April 2022and some of them are new as of this same year. We have some incredible achievements on this list so without further ado, here are the top 25most impressive UFC records!

25. Most finishes (Charles Oliveira)

A “finish” in mixed martial arts is when a fighter wins a fight before the fight time expires. This can be by submission or strikes, mostly knockouts. Charles Oliveira is a Brazilian fighter who currently holds the UFC Lightweight Champion belt.

Charles Oliveira has the most finishes in UFC history with 17and he achieved the record when he beat Michael Chandler to win his Lightweight belt, which he later raised to 18 in his last fight against Poirier. He also holds the record for the most submission wins at 15.

24. Highest win percentage (Khabib Nurmagomedov)

There are fighters who have quite literally only ever fought once, won that fight, and then retired. We aren’t talking about those fighters though. This record is the highest win percentage with the most fights.

Khabib Nurmagomedovhas the highest win percentage at 100% with 29bouts. He retired at the age of 31 after his victory overJustin Gaethje,leaving the question of how far he would have gone if he had continued fighting.

23. Most takedowns in a single bout (Khabib Nurmagomedov)

A takedown is when a fighter gets his opponent on the floor to try to grapple them into submission. Khabib Nurmagomedovwasan expert grappler and a fighter who retired undefeated while beating some big names like Conor McGregor.

Khabib is ranked as the #1 lightweight of all time and in one match he successfully pulled off 21 takedowns in the same bout. Sean Sherk came “close” with 16 takedowns in one match, but Khabib is at a different level.

22. Most wins by split decision (Gleison Tibau)

A split decision win occurs when two judges pick a fighter as the winner, while the third judge picks the other fighter. Split decisions are rare as it is. Most fights will be won by knockout, submission, or unanimous decision.

Gleison Tibau is a Brazilian fighter who currently competes in the Lightweight division. He has the record for the most split decision wins at 5. Tibau has an impressive 50 fights under his belt and he doesn’t look like he’s stopping anytime soon.

21. Most bouts in the Heavyweight division (Andrei Arlovski)

Heavyweight fighters are of the weight class that takes the biggest beatings and damage, so as a whole their cycles are usually pretty short lived. Most Heavyweight UFC fighters have an average of 10-15 bouts throughout their career.

Andrei Arlovski is aBelarusian-American fighter who has the record for the most bouts in the heavyweight division with an outstanding 55 bouts. He is a former Heavyweight Champion and the most impressive part is that he is still competing.

20. Most total fight time (Frankie Edgar)

As previously stated, most UFC fighters as a whole don’t rack up many bouts throughout their careers. The record for the most bouts in a calendar year is 5 and even then that is an absurd amount for a fighter.

Frankie Edgar is a former UFC Lightweight Championwho currently competes in the Bantamweight division. He is still competing and he has the record for the most total time fighting at 7 hours, 40 minutes, and 51 seconds.

19. Most consecutive wins (Anderson Silva)

Even the best of the best have received a loss or two in their career. It is particularly impressive when a fighter is on a hot streak and looking like no one could possibly stop them. That was the case for 7 years in this occasion.

Anderson Silva is a Brazilian fighter who has the record for the most consecutive wins at 16 in a 7 year span. At one point, Anderson Silva was the face of the UFC and he looked unstoppable.One of the hardest records to break for sure.

18. Latest finish in a title bout (Demetrious Johnson)

Late finishes aren’t very common as a whole, but what makes this one impressive is that it was in a title match. Demetrious Johnson is a former UFC Flyweight Champion who now competes for ONE championship.

Johnson has the record for the latest finish in a title bout and he got that title in the last round in minute 4:59. This means that there was only one second left for the entire fight to be over, this record is quite literally impossible to beat.

17. Most finishes in a title bout (Anderson Silva)

Finishing a fight before an official decision is impressive enough as it is. Fighters always try to finish off their opponents as fast as possible.This record is particularlyimpressive because all of these were to gain or retain a title.

Anderson Silva has the record for most finishes in title bouts with 9. No one is even close to beating this record currently and it just shows how dominant Silva really was in his prime. He is currently still competing so he has the chance to extend and break his own record.

16. Fastest knockout (Jorge Masvidal)

Everyone loves a good fightbut not as much as a good knockout. Most people watching UFC fights want to see some sort of insane knockout that will make highlight reels and be talked about for a while.

Jorge Masvidal is a Welterweight fighter that has the record for the fastest knockout in UFC history. This was in his bout against Ben Askren. Only 5 seconds into the fight Masvidal catches Askren with a flying knee that instantly ended the bout.

15. Most knockout of the night bonuses (Anderson Silva)

Knockout of the night is given to the most spectacular knockout in each fight night. This is impressive to get as it is because there are usually more than 10 fights per night. To even land a knockout on your opponent is impressive, but to get the knockout of the night too is something else.

Anderson Silva has the record for the most Knockout of the night bonuses with 7. The next fighter in line that is still actobve only has 4 KOTN bonuses. This is just another very impressive record that Silva has.

14. Most significant strikes landed (Max Holloway)

A significant strike in MMA is a power strike in the clinch and on the ground, as well as all strikes from a distance. This means that all short strikes don’t classify as significant strikes, those are just total strikes.

Max Holloway has the most significant strikes in all of UFC history. Holloway has landed 2618 significant strikes in his career and second place is Donald Cerrone with1727.Holloway is still competing so he will keep expanding this record and no one is even close to reaching him.

13. Most knockdowns (Donald Cerrone)

A knockdown is when a fighter touches the floor with any part of their body that isn’t their feet. A fighter can get knocked down by a hit or if the other fighter brings them to the floor to try to grapple them into submission.

Donald “Cowboy”Cerronehas the record for most knockdowns with 20. He also has the record for most wins in UFC historyand is known for his aggressive fighting style. This record should hold its ground for a while.

12. Total fight time in a title bout (Jon Jones)

Total fight time in title bouts is one of the most impressive records a fighter can hold. This means that whoever holds this title has the most amount of time competing for a Championship Belt, so they have spent the most time fighting in the biggest stage.

Jon Jones has the record for the most total fight time in title bouts with 4 hours, 39 minutes, and 47 seconds. He is a former two-time UFC Light Heavyweight Championwho is still competing in the UFC and can keep extending his record.

11. Most knockouts in title bouts (Anderson Silva)

Winning a Championship Belt via knockout in a title match is impressive enough as it is, but the record for the most knockout wins in title bouts is 7. Having that many knockouts in title fights is a crazy achievement.

Anderson Silva with yet another record here. All 7 knockout of the night bonuses that he got were all from title bouts so having both of those records is extremely impressive. No one holds more records than Silva and he’s still active to break more.

10. Most significant strikes in a title bout (Max Holloway)

We’ve already talked about significant strikes and what they consist of. This record is more impressive than the other one because this is the most significant strikes in title bouts. These are the biggest hits landed only in title fights.

Max Hollowayholds the record with 1208 hits and he is a master at landing significant strikes. He will come up on our list one more time for an even more impressive record that shows just how good he is.

9. Most performance of the night bonuses (Charles Oliveira)

The performance of the night bonus is awarded to the fighter who puts on the best and most thrilling individual performance of the night. To be the most impressive fighter amongaround 15-20 fighters in a night is already an achievement as it is.

Charles Oliveira is a Brazilian fighter who has won the performance of the night bonus 13times. The second fighter with the most performance of the night bonuses is Conor McGregor who has 7.

8. Most significant strikes in a single bout (Max Holloway)

When we’re talking about significant strikes, there is only one person we can count on and thats Max Holloway. His other two records are also about significant strikes and while they are impressive, this record beats the rest for one reason.

Max Holloway has the record for the most significant strikes landed in a single bout with 445. While that as it is, is incredibly impressive, what’s even more impressive is that the second most is 290 significant strikes. Who has the 290? Max Holloway also.

7. Fastest submission (Oleg Taktarov)

A submission is when a fighter pins the other one and makes them yield, or “tap out“,hence winning the match immediately. Submissions usually take some work and really good techinique to drop your opponent and catch him in the right combinations.

Oleg Taktarov has the fastest submission in UFC history, having done it in only 9 seconds. This is insanely impressive because fighters can literally spend minutes on the ground before they actually tap out. So to get an opponent on the floor and into submission in less than 10 seconds is very impressive.

6. Highest pay-per-view buys (Khabib vs McGregor)

Pay-per-view events are usually reserved for the biggest fights. Two huge names fighting against each other for the title. Conor McGregor has the first and second most PPV buys of all time which should really be no surprise to anyone.

Khabib Nurmagomedov vs Conor McGregor was the fight with the most pay-per-view fights in history. The fight had 2,400,000 PPV buys which beat the previous record of Conor McGregor vs Nate Diaz 2 which had 1,600,000 buys.

5. Most title reigns (Randy Couture)

A title reign is how many times a fighter challenges the current champion and beats them to strip them from theirChampionship Belt. It is very hard to fight a current champion for a title and come out on top as it is.

Randy Couture has done this 6 different times. That is facing a world champion 6 different times and stripping him from his belt which is something incredibly impressive. When you face the champion, you have to beat the best of the best to get that belt.

4. Longest title reign (Anderson Silva)

Reaching the top is incredibly hard. Fighters have to win numerous bouts to even get a shot at a championship belt and then winning that fight is another story. Once at the top, defending your title from hungry competitors is a massive challenge.

Anderson Silva is a fighter who knows what it’s like to be at the top, and stay there. He has the record for the longest consecutive title reign having held his belt for 2457 days. This means Silva remained the champion for almost 7 years.

3. Oldest champion (Randy Couture)

When they reach the top, most champions average being in their early-to-mid thirties. The average age of a UFC fighter is 31 years old with many retiring way before that. That’s what makes this record so impressive.

Randy Couture has the record for being the oldest champion in UFC history. Couture became a champion when he was 45 years old! He is the only fighter to have reclaimed his title 3different times and to have won a title after being inducted into the Hall of Fame.

2. Longest combined title reign (Amanda Nunes)

This record is the person who has the longest combined time as the champion. It is particularly impressive because the fighter with this record is consistently at the top. It is no surprise to anyone who this record belongs to.

Amanda Nunes has the record for the longest combined title reign with 2697 days. Nunes is widely regarded as the best female UFC fighter of all time and topsour own countdown in ourtop 25 best female fighters of all time list.

1. Fastest knockout in a title bout (Conor McGregor)

Knockouts are impressive as it is and even more so in a title bout to earn you the a championship belt. Most fights for the title of champion are tough bouts between two of the best fighters that often goes to a decision by judges.

Conor McGregor has the record for the fastest knockout in a title bout. He knocked out Jose Aldo in only 13 seconds to become the UFC Featherweight Champion and strip Aldo of his belt. The most impressive achievement in UFC history!
