Is there anyone in all of combat sports whose been a champ longer than Spider? If so it should be in the header if he's more than just UFC's. --[[Special:Contributions/208.38.59.161|208.38.59.161]] ([[User talk:208.38.59.161|talk]]) 22:13, 15 October 2012 (UTC)

== Striking accuracy was not 100% against Leben. ==

He was very close to 100%, but that figure is wrong. I don't have the exact number handy, but if you watch the fight with Leben you can clearly see that he misses one shot after the first knockdown while Leben is getting back to his feet. I thinks that's the only one he missed, but if anybody has a video of the fight and can do a proper count and fix that number that would be great. I've changed it to "just under 100%" in the mean time. [[Special:Contributions/24.107.102.129|24.107.102.129]] ([[User talk:24.107.102.129|talk]]) 22:22, 20 October 2012 (UTC)

== Edit request: "The Spider" ==

{{edit semi-protected|answered=yes}}
A brief mention should be made regarding his nickname "The Spider" - I have included a mention of this in the sports sub-section of the [[Cultural depictions of spiders]] article. Perhaps 'Background' would be the best place for this, but I'll leave that, and exact wording to the discretion of the editor. The editor might want to expand my suggested text using information from the source (Silva, per UFC/MMA News article).

== Assertion about Okami DW ==

The only one at this point who we have a source for saying this claim is Anderson Silva himself. Do we really need a "Silva says" in this case? I think if you watch the fight you will see that Okami was given essentially a knockout blow then asked to recover from it and fight again. USAtoday today doesn't make any reference to this being [http://www.mmajunkie.com/news/2011/04/sources-anderson-silva-vs-yushin-okami-ufc-rio-reports-are-premature cheap or cowardly] [[User:PortlandOregon97217|PortlandOregon97217]] ([[User talk:PortlandOregon97217|talk]]) 09:58, 11 January 2013 (UTC)

"Black belt in Muay Thai"

What the heck is this crap? There is no colored belt ranking system in Muay Thai. I wish you wikipedia gurus would do some actual research before contributing to this article.
01:47, 2 February 2013 (UTC)

It's been said over and over again: His black belt is from chute boxe. Faixa Preta (As per his source) means "Black Belt." Yes Muay Thai traditionally does not have a belt system, but some schools in the west administer belts. He attended one of those schools. Whether it's right or not doesn't change the fact that he has one under Rafael Cordeiro. <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/94.200.220.210|94.200.220.210]] ([[User talk:94.200.220.210|talk]]) 12:13, 6 February 2013 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:Unsigned IP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

== Weight class ==
Should you not list him as fighting in welterweight? He won the defunct Shooto middleweight belt (as already is noted in the article), which was at 168 lbs. Today 170 lbs is welterweight in most if not all organisations.
I believe he also fought welterweight in pride. In fact, at one time he was a top ten welterweight by Sherdog. The sources for this should be easy enough to find, if needed.

The Fighting Style subtitle reads that Anderson Silva has the record for the "Best all-time UFC win percentage (1.000)." First, this doesn't make sense as there are plenty of people that tie it, as far as the percentage goes, although they have far fewer fights. Also, it really isn't a legitimate "record" to begin with. It describes an accomplishment in an incomplete way, but that accomplishment is already noted in his UFC win streak record. The other issue is that it is now something like .9412 so it isn't even applicable at all anymore. <!-- Template:Unsigned IP --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/173.72.194.228|173.72.194.228]] ([[User talk:173.72.194.228#top|talk]]) 11:58, 7 July 2013 (UTC)</small>

== Lying about fight history ==

Someone recently came in here and changed the description of the Takase fight to say Anderson was winning. In reality, he was dominated on the ground for almost the entire fight and then submitted.

I realize people idolize fighters and want to defend them but take a second to think about what you're doing. The truth is more important than your man crush. Please don't lie about MMA history. It does a disservice to the fighters who trained themselves to the bone and actually won. <small><span class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:NerdNinja9|NerdNinja9]] ([[User talk:NerdNinja9|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/NerdNinja9|contribs]]) 19:27, 18 August 2013 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

His fights with Weidman and Bonnar should contain more elaboration. For example:

Silva faced Chris Weidman on July 6, 2013, at UFC 162. After engaging in a great deal of showboating and cage antics, Silva was caught by a left hook at the end of an unorthodox combination by Chris Weidman. He was KO'ed at 1:18 of the 2nd round.

== Anderson Silva does not have the most wins in UFC title fights ==

The wiki page is factually inaccurate since it states Anderson holds the record for most win in UFC title fights at 11. Fightmetrix maintains the offical UFC records and is recognized by the UFC as the official source of the promotions stats.

As you can see in this link, the record for most wins in a UFC title fight is held by Georges "Rush" St-Pierre at 12 wins.

== Edit Request: Roy Jones ==

Edit request: Roy Jones.

The quote about Silva wanting a boxing match with Jones is now irrelevant; Silva recently signed a 15 fight [http://www.foxsports.com/ufc/story/report-anderson-silva-signs-new-15-fight-deal-with-the-ufc-102714 contract] with the UFC, and he is already 39 years old. That doesn't mean he will fight 15 fights, but it means that he'd have to fight 14 more MMA fights to be released from the contract. He'll be retired long before that (which is the whole point of the contract). The anecdote with Jones, which is not happening, is now obsolete.

Why is Wing Chun still listed as his fighting style? You could confuse people into thinking he got some deep relationship to Wing Chun.

It is you who need a source to prove that Wing Chun is his fighting style. He never even uses any Wing Chun techniques in his fights, he has just practiced it a bit. He is a 5th dan black belt in Taekwondo and wanted to compete in the Olympics, lol, it would make more sense to list taekwondo as his fighting style. But even that, which defines him more than Wing Chun, should not be listed as his fighting style. His fighting style is the style he fights with in the ring, which consists of boxing, muay thai and bjj. I liked the Ip Man movies too, but be a bit serious.

[edit]

Article reads: "...relinquishing his title as the longest running title holder in UFC history.[71]" While the streak has eneded, he will not have relinquished his title until someone wins more than him.

Silva does not use taekwondo or caporeia when fighting his style is muay Thai with western boxing and Brazilian jiujitsu

[edit]

Under his style there shouldn't be all those listed it should only be muay Thai, boxing,bjj if you actually train mma then you would know that he doesn't use capo eri a or taekwondo or what ever else is in that list all of his strikes he throws are ether a muay Thai strike or a boxing strike Andersons whole career in the ufc he has only 3 takedowns so how is he a wrestler He can't wrestle at all he might know a little bit of caporeia but he cannot use those moves in a mma fight and he's never used a taekwondo kick in mma every kick he's thrown in a mma fight was a muay Thai kick so take out wrestling caporeia and taekwondo a mma fighters page should not have so many martial arts listed on their style be truthfull change his style listing to just muay Thai, boxing,Brazilian jiujitsu
