UFC Chronicles: Baddest Dude on the Planet

He fought the way we fight in our heads. That's what makes him the GOAT for me.

As a kid I didn’t get to watch Michael Jordan, I got to watch Anderson Silva the Jordan of MMA.

The golden age of the sport. Nothing but legends and warriors. The newer fans of the sport will never understand what they missed. RIP Stephan Bonnar.

I'm so glad I was an MMA fan during Anderson Silva's reign. The GOAT of MMA.

RIP Stephan Bonnar Nice to see him on this video

In his prime he had a 16 fight win streak in the UFC. Only 2 of those fights went to decision. 14 finishes in 16 fights is a godly finish rate especially being champion and fighting the best of the best repeatedly

He will always be the GOAT for me; in his prime,no one could defeat him!!!

Anderson Silva was the closest thing to a real life video game character.

Anderson Silva was so good, people act like his competition was weak and he lacks skill. Put Prime Anderson Silva in the Middleweight division today, guaranteed he becomes Champion.

Man it’s sad to see Stephan bonnar now he’s passed away. So cool you had this footage from before.

Anderson was untouchable in his prime. It's not just that he was as dominant as he was for as long as he was but he was also one of, if not the most spectacular finishers the sport has ever seen. Truly a once in a lifetime type of talent. I'm bleesed to have witnessed his legendary career from start to finish 🇧🇷🕸🕷

Anderson is the GOAT

Silva is the greatest martial artist we have ever seen. Even into his late 40s after snapping his leg in half and doing things like fighting a prime DC on 4 days notice he still showed flashes of greatest against the worlds best. Never afraid to take crazy chances. He was magical in his prime. Lighting quick unpredictability on the feet with matrix like head movement and could submit you on the ground as well. Even made it a point to submit most of the grapplers he ever faced, even while going into the Chael fight with a fractured rib. New fans just don't get it and he gets disrespected by recency bias hype too much. People forget how good he was. Prime Silva is still champ today.

It's weird watching a new piece with Bonnar being interviewed. For a second there I forgot he's dead

Sonnen's explanations of his fights with Silva were amazing.

There will never be another Anderson silva

When I first saw Anderson Silva fight, it was like watching a Bruce Lee film; but without the choreography. At that point I began watching every available fight with him and gradually realized that I may be watching the greatest combat athlete, ever. And then came Jon Jones...

Respect for Chael Sonnen for being so humble even after defending every shot with his face❤

The first time I saw Anderson Silva fight, it was live in hawaii against Yushin Okami at Rumble On The Rock 8. I'll never forget that day. Long live the legend 🙏🏾

Respect to Chael Sonnen for keeping it a buck.
