Long considered by most to be the greatest of all time, Anderson Silva not only went
on a record 16-consecutive win streak inside the UFC, but also successfully defended
his middleweight title an equally impressive record of 10-consecutive times. Despite
the shadow being cast by the lab results of his most recent fight, he still faced off
against any and all challengers, and did so many times in spectacular fashion.
But what happened to those fallen foes after there once (or in one fighters case
twice) chance in a lifetime to become the UFC middleweight champion? If they were
truly the best of the best at the time, theoretically they should have had to have an
equal, or at least marginal, amount of success after fighting the GOAT. But for any-
one who’s followed the fight game long enough, we know that is not always the
case. So here in order from least to most successful, is Silva’s list of challengers.
