UFC legend Anderson Silva has cemented his name among the greats of the sport. His amazing title reign and his creative fighting style have made him a fan favorite.

However, just like his personality in the octagon, Silva is known for going over the top outside the octagon as well.

In this case, a fan captured ‘The Spider’ hanging upside down, much like spiderman, at the gym. Silva is known for his unorthodox style and workout routine, but this takes it to the next level.

Will Anderson Silva return to his winning ways?

‘The Spider’ is considered by many as one of the greatest ever fighters of all time. Silva was the longest reigning middleweight champion and dominated the division for nearly 7 years.

Silva has given his fans multiple memorable moments in the octagon. From his last-minute submission win over Chael Sonnen and his dominant reign in the middleweight division, he has certainly put his name up there as one of the greatest of all time.

Silva has been teasing a comeback for quite some time after suffering a horrible injury against Jared Cannonier last year. However, some say that Silva is past his best, as ‘The Spider’ last won in 2017 against Derek Brunson and has been on a losing streak since ever since.

Also, Silva has suffered multiple losses over the past few years, perhaps indicating he’s way past his prime.

But despite being 45 years old, Silva hasn’t shied away from accepting fights and throwing his name in the mix for potential fights.

Recently, he had a back-and-forth with Conor McGregor on social media, with the two fighters accepting the challenge to face each other. Moreover, there were talks of Silva dropping down to catchweight to fight the ‘Notorious’ one.

However, talks of that fight happening have died down. McGregor announced his retirement recently, and most people feel it’s a fight that makes little sense for both fighters.

Despite the ups and downs, Anderson Silva will always be seen as one of the greatest superheroes in the UFC.
