- He is the current #1 in the current Division Dominance rankings and Middleweight rankings. He has been at the top of the Middleweight division for more than 4 years. He has been ranked in our division dominance rankings since we started them in February 2008.
- He is #1 All-Time in our Absolute and Middleweight rankings.
- When we update our All-Time Rankings in September, he will likely take back the most “dominant period” from GSP.
- He has won 15 consecutive fights, 14 in the UFC (all-time record).
- He has the 6th most UFC wins in history.
- He has 10 UFC title wins (1st all-time) and would have 11 if not for Lutter missing weight. All 10 were consecutive and this is an active streak.
- He has never lost by KO or TKO. He is one of only 13 active fighters with at least 35 fights who can make claim to this. Only two others can say this and also have at least 30 wins (Mousasi, Gomi).
- Our rating system projects that he is about 50/50 with Jon Jones in a fight at 205.
As it stands though, he is 36 years old, with GSP right on his heels at age 30. If Silva fades in a year or two, and GSP stays at the top until his late 30s, GSP may become the eventual #1 all-time fighter.
