It’s long overdue for Silva to join the Hall of Fame and Dana White doesn’t mince words about it. The UFC President clearly views Anderson Silva as one of the best fighters in history.
With a 16-fight win streak under his belt, along with 10 title defenses, there is no need to explain or argue Silva’s Hall of Fame bid. If anything, Dana White is simply giving props to one of the best fighters we’ve ever witnessed.
Anderson Silva is set to be inducted later this summer. Other fighters joining him this year are Jose Aldo and Jens Pulver.
Dana White will surely be in attendance, as usual. But it’ll be great seeing him there inducting Silva into the UFC Hall of Fame. Now, for your viewing enjoyment, here are some of the best highlights throughout Silva’s career.
The induction ceremony takes place during International Fight Week, which is within the first week of July this year.
