Anderson Silva is, no ifs, and or buts, probably the best warrior to actually go to the UFC Octagon. This Saturday night in Las Vegas, Silva will fight in his last UFC session when he takes on Uriah Hall in the headliner of UFC Fight Night.
Silva was broadly prevailing as middleweight champion from October 2006 to July 2013, guarding the title multiple times while additionally making various fruitful stumbles to light heavyweight. As is regularly the unfeeling reality in battle sports, when things tumble off, they tumble off rapidly. I took Silva out by Chris Weidman in 2013 and had his leg snapped into equal parts in the rematch soon thereafter.
On the whole, after a 17-battle series of wins, Silva has gone 1-6 since the primary Weidman battle. There was one other win in that period, a choice over Nick Diaz, that was upset after a bombed Silva drug test. Silva's inheritance, effectively muddled by infrequently disappointing title exhibitions that left UFC president Dana White stewing, endured one more shot through the bombed test.
After battling through the last long stretches of his UFC vocation, Silva is at long last prepared to leave the Octagon and push ahead to the following phase of his life. Disrupting the general flow of a last magnificent second is Hall.
The corridor is a definitive hot-or-cold contender in the UFC. He has scored 11 vocation knockout successes, however, has likewise been taken out multiple times. Hall has gone on five series of wins of at least two, yet has three comparable losing slips. Presently, Hall has won consecutive battles, taking out Bevon Lewis and scoring a split choice success over Antonio Carlos Junior. The current two-battle series of wins has moved Hall's record to 3-1 since 2017.
Corridor, as the more youthful, fresher, and all the more than of late effective warrior, will venture into the Octagon as the top pick at the wagering window.
In the co-headliner, accommodation master Bruce Mitchell is back in actual life when he takes on the consistently hazardous Andre "Delicate" Fili at featherweight. Mitchell flaunts an ideal 13-0 record as an ace and even prevailed upon enough allies to get Reebok to give him some disguise shorts for the Octagon after he pushed hard to get them affirmed. He wowed fans in 2019 with his Twister accommodation and will hope to add another completion to his resume against Fili, who has just been halted multiple times in 28 professional battles.
