Anderson Silva

Anderson Silva holds the record for the longest UFC title reign at 2,457 consecutive days as middleweight champion, with 10 consecutive title defenses—a figure 40% higher than the average champion. His striking accuracy of 67% and 14 knockout wins in the UFC set a benchmark for technical brilliance, yet his 26-7 record includes a 2013 loss that ranks him below #2 Georges St-Pierre in overall prime dominance. Silva’s 2006-2013 run produced a 93% finishing rate, unmatched among middleweights until 2020.
