#2 Anderson Silva
It is easy to describe the inclusion of Anderson Silva in this list with numbers. But the fact is; Silva is beyond numbers. Although he went on to have a 16-fight winning streak in the UFC which included 10 UFC Middleweight title defences, he will always be remembered for the flair and flamboyance that he brought into the octagon.
During his dominant 16-fight run, Silva outclassed names like Dan Henderson, Demian Maia, Chael Sonnen, and Vitor Belfort among others and had only two decision victories. The defeat to Chris Weidman, however, changed everything. Silva is 1-3-1 after his first loss to Weidman and he got caught up in PED controversies as well.

The suspensions have indeed left a black mark on his resume but that doesn’t take away anything from what Silva has achieved.
Currently holding a professional record of 34-8, Silva is hands down one of the greatest fighters of our generation.
