Anderson Silva and Dayane Silva

Dayane Silva and ‘The Spider’ are married for over a decade now. They together have three sons and two daughters and are leading a happy family life.

Both Anderson and Dayane Silva have origins from Brazil. Silva’s wife is a former gymnast. She has also represented Brazil in the 2000 and the 2004 Olympics.

Seeing the history of matches, it is very evident that Dayane doesn’t like much of media presence and makes sure that she is away from the limelight as much as possible.

The fans haven’t spotted her in most of the fights. While maintaining a low profile, Dayane Silva has made sure that she is with her husband, giving all the support that he needs.

How has Dayane Silva impacted Silva’s UFC career?

Though Anderson Silva’s wife enjoys keeping her personal life private, she hasn’t hesitated from embracing Silva’s success and failures as her own. Her positive and warm nature has definitely made a great impact on Anderson Silva’s UFC career and life.

Dayane Silva hit the headlines when one of the Brazilian fighter’s opponents, Chael Sonnen, trash-talked about her. Despite Sonnen taking jabs at her, she did not mind hosting him whenever he is in Brazil as long as he keeps his hands to himself.

This is what Dayane said in her interview with SPORTV:

“I loved Anderson’s answers after the fight. Come on, Chael. You can come to the barbeque. You just can’t touch my butt. For me, it was Anderson’s best victory. Chael shouldn’t have talked about me. It was the worst thing he did.”
