Edit request on 7 July 2013

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

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

Error in MMA record breakdown

In the breakdown of his career it lists 3 wins by submission, but looking at his record I can count 4 (six if we count the submission to strikes but I think they count as tkos) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:241:8680:2ED0:3C56:64D7:EDE6:CE36 (talk) 22:32, 18 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 29 May 2021

It is requested that an edit be made to the semi-protected article at Anderson Silva. (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any autoconfirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{ESp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.

The main section information needs to be added about Anderson Silva. The information should be similar to the following:
