#4. Anderson Silva
Still going at age 43, Anderson "The Spider" Silva is comfortably one of the greatest UFC fighters we’ve ever seen. Having dominated in previous promotions, he became one of the UFC pioneers as early as 2006.
After defeating Rich Franklin for the title, Silva became the undisputed king of the Middleweight division for almost 7 years. He defended his middleweight title an incredible 10 times, throwing in a few light heavyweight wins for good measure.
Whilst he has been on a bit of a downward spiral of late, 33 wins in his first 37 fights is an incredible mark that highlights Anderson’s quality. Another elite MMA practitioner, he was elite as a striker and also had qualifications in Tae-Kwon-Do, Jiu-Jitsu, and Muay Thai. For his outstanding results and entertaining style, Silva is definitely deserving of a top 4 spot on this list.
