“Any Questions For Black Dana White?”- When Anderson Silva Trolled Dana White During a Press Conference

Former UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva is set to make his final appearance inside the UFC’s octagon come October 31, 2020. The 45-year-old icon will likely step away from the leading MMA organization after facing Uriah Hall. The aforementioned fight is many years in the making and serves as a perfect footnote to cap off Silva’s career.

Uriah Hall was frequently compared to ‘The Spider’ in the day leading to the rise in the sport. Although he hasn’t experienced the same lofty success as Anderson, Hall believes things are changing in his favor. He is on a two-fight winning streak and a win over Silva will be a life-long achievement for any active fighter.

The Brazilian legend holds multiple records to this day that are seemingly ways away from being broken. Moreover, his 16 fight UFC unbeaten run stands the test of time, even against fighters like Khabib Nurmagomedov. However, Silva’s legacy is far more than just in his supreme skill in the cage. Let’s take a look back at a moment that sticks out in the hearts and minds of fans.

Anderson Silva: The self-proclaimed black Dana White

Silva endeared himself to the fans and the media at several points throughout his tenured UFC career. Chiefly, a press conference appearance back at UFC 183: Silva vs Diaz remains notable in the fans’ minds. Anderson approached Dana White’s podium and tried his hand at being the UFC President.

The hilarious exchange has been making rounds on social media as fans reminisce about the various memorable interactions he created. Not to mention, he was always a fighter who fans and media members felt comfortable approaching. For Anderson Silva, the love for the sport and the child-like excitement about everything to do with MMA was palpable.

Many fans believe that regardless of the outcome at UFC Fight Night: Hall vs Silva, Anderson’s legacy will remain intact. Although he’s not been a major player at 185-pounds for several years, the upcoming fight night event will surely have massive viewership. It is largely unknown whether ‘The Spider’ may continue fighting, but in all likelihood, his UFC career will run soon run its course.
