Anderson Silva is one of the greatest fighters to ever be a part of MMA. The UFC legend has an incredible MMA record of (34-11) and is a former UFC champion. ‘The Spider’ holds the record for the longest title reign in UFC history and also holds the record for 16 consecutive UFC victories. At one point in time, Silva had an amazing MMA record of 33-4 and was considered the world’s best. However, since losing his UFC middleweight title to Chris Weidman [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/chris-weidman/], the fighter could never get back to his best. Silva’s last UFC fight was against Uriah Hall at UFC Vegas 12 on October 31, 2020. ‘The Spider’ lost that fight via a 4th round TKO and since has not competed in an MMA fight. The fighter then went back to boxing as he faced Julio Cesar Chavez Jr [https://boxrec.com/en/proboxer/214371]. on June 19, 2021. Silva won that fight via split decision. Currently, Silva is 46 years old, and therefore many people believe that we have seen the last of ‘The Spider. However, ‘The Spider’ [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/anderson-silva/] already has his next fight booked, as he will box Tito Ortiz on September 11, 2021. Recently Silva sat for an interview with TMZ sports, where they asked him about his retirement plans. Watch This Story: Top 5 Richest Athletes in the World 2021 [https://www.essentiallysports.com/stories/olympics-news-top-5-richest-athletes-in-the-world-2021/] Silva said, “My goal is my last fight is 49. 49 I’m done. Probably, I don’t know. That is my goal. Fight 3 more years and done. 49 that’s the number. Maybe I can fight more, but right now my goal is when I turn 49, I stop fighting. I don’t fight anymore. But I don’t know you know, I’m in good shape. I am so happy to go to the gym every day.” [https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/Anderson-Silva-1-1.jpg] WHAT TO EXPECT FROM THE FIGHT BETWEEN ANDERSON SILVA AND TITO ORTIZ? Silva performed admirably in his last fight and won via split decision. Therefore, the fighter would look to continue the winning momentum when he faces Ortiz. However, Ortiz [https://boxrec.com/en/proboxer/1028557] is no slouch as the fighter is also a former UFC champion and an MMA legend. However, the fighter has yet not competed in a professional boxing fight and that could give the edge to Silva. While it is difficult to predict the outcome of this fight. One thing is sure that when these two fighters face each other, it is surely going to be a treat to watch. Masvidal Rips Jake Paul [https://www.essentiallysports.com/ufc-mma-news-he-thinks-we-were-friends-because-i-gave-him-some-advice-jorge-masvidal-rips-jake-paul/] Who do you think will win the fight between Anderson Silva and Tito Ortiz? Let us know in the comments.

<p style="color: #252525">After suffering defeat against Luke Rockhold, his career went downhill as he mustered only two wins in his next eight fights. However, his stocks never experienced a dip due to his commitment to fighting.</p>

<h2 style="color: #252525;text-align: center"><strong style="color: #252525">Chris Weidman's record and stats</strong></h2>

<h2 style="color: #252525;text-align: center"><strong style="color: #252525">Chris Weidman's fighting style</strong></h2>
<p style="color: #252525">Weidman has what one could describe as a well-rounded fighting style. As a BJJ black belt holder, he has good grappling skills, above-average striking skills, and excellent wrestling. Therefore, he is dangerous both on the mat and on the feet.</p>

<h2 style="color: #252525;text-align: center"><strong style="color: #252525">Chris Weidman's Controversies</strong></h2>
<p style="color: #252525">Weidman was on the receiving end of a controversial result in his fight against <strong style="color: #252525">Gegard Mousasi</strong> at UFC 210. The referee put a pause on the action, as he believed Mousasi landed illegal strikes on a downed Weidman. However, the referee soon changed his decision as one of Weidman's hands appeared to be up in the replays. Therefore, he added a TKO loss to his resume in a debatable manner.</p>

Besides that, he is also connected to the Montreal Canadiens for two years through a contract worth $1,525,000 signed on June 6, 2022. Chris Weidman’s childhood and early life The middleweight fighter was born in Baldwin, New York, on June 17, 1984, and is of German and Irish descent. He picked up wrestling at a very young age and pursued a wrestling career as he attended Baldwin Senior High School on Long Island. Despite his obsession with wrestling, he never left academics behind. He then graduated from Hofstra University with a bachelor&#8217;s degree in psychology and a master’s in physical education. Chris Weidman’s family The former UFC champion is married to his high school sweetheart, Marivi. The couple is blessed with three children. While much of the information about his family is not in the public domain, he has two siblings. Moreover, his father, Charlie Weidman, brought him up in the Lutheran church. In 2016, he and Stephen &#8216;Wonderboy&#8216; Thompson became part of the same family as his sister married Thompson&#8217;s brother. Chris Weidman&#8217;s MMA career and highlights The collegiate wrestler transitioned to MMA in 2009 after winning several accolades in wrestling. He soon became a hot property with his 4-0 record and also became the Ring of Combat champion. After signing the contract with the UFC, he went on a 9-0 run, where he amassed victories against the likes of Anderson Silva, Demian Maia, and Lyoto Machida.

(Photo by Mike Roach/Zuffa LLC) After suffering defeat against Luke Rockhold, his career went downhill as he mustered only two wins in his next eight fights. However, his stocks never experienced a dip due to his commitment to fighting. Chris Weidman&#8217;s record and stats The Serra-Longo Fight Team representative holds a record of 15-6. His penchant for finishes is evident in his six knockout wins and four submission victories. Chris Weidman&#8217;s fighting style Weidman has what one could describe as a well-rounded fighting style. As a BJJ black belt holder, he has good grappling skills, above-average striking skills, and excellent wrestling. Therefore, he is dangerous both on the mat and on the feet. Chris Weidman&#8217;s cars and houses The middleweight star owns a large entourage of cars and especially a white Mustang to travel in, which he never fails to show off. Furthermore, he used to live in a luxury house in Dix Hills, New York, but he switched to a new place in South Carolina in the summer of 2020. Chris Weidman&#8217;s Controversies Weidman was on the receiving end of a controversial result in his fight against Gegard Mousasi at UFC 210. The referee put a pause on the action, as he believed Mousasi landed illegal strikes on a downed Weidman. However, the referee soon changed his decision as one of Weidman&#8217;s hands appeared to be up in the replays. Therefore, he added a TKO loss to his resume in a debatable manner.
