MMA legend Anderson Silva has become a certified UFC Hall of Famer.
The Brazilian icon has been announced as the latest inductee into the MMA promotion’s Hall of Fame at the UFC 286 event.
He joins Jose Aldo and Jens Pulver as part of the 2023 class, and will enter the ‘Pioneer Wing’.
Synonymous with UFC throughout the years, the former middleweight champion competed 25 times for the UFC between 2006 and 2020.

He holds the longest win streak in UFC history of 16 straight victories as well as the most middleweight wins in the division’s history.
UFC president Dana White said of his induction: “Anderson Silva is one of the greatest athletes of all time.
“Anderson’s 16-fight winning streak in the UFC, 10 successful title defences and almost seven years as middleweight champion were one of the most remarkable things we’ve ever seen in professional sports.
“He was an absolute artist inside the Octagon, and it will be an honour to induct him into the UFC Hall of Fame this summer.”
Probably no one more deserving than the Brazilian to enter the Hall of Fame.
Anderson Silva will be a part of the 2023 UFC HOF class, per broadcast. Wonderful news.
