He made a lot of money for ufc and was well compensated. Nowadays a champion only last 3-4 fights of course Jon Jones was an exception. They don’t make champions like Anderson Silva anymore
My heart would start pounding when I heard his walkout... in fear of my favorite fighter of all time losing... or would I witness a miraculous finish as his previous title defenses? The greatest of all time. Hands down.
I'm here after the recent news of DMX overdose...prayers up for his family and a miraculous recovery!!! The irony of Anderson choosing this song for his entrance to a fight...and now the songster is fighting for his life!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Anderson Silva told Dana White he didn't care what music he had for his entrance as he just didn't give a shit and it was Dana White that told Silva to use DMX ain't no sunshine knowing it'd be a banger to walk out to
im willing to bet the second that bass dropped was the moment most opponents realized what was about to happen. getting chills and trying to stay lose knowing Anderson was about to step in the cage with them. 🐐
Part of the psychology of fighting. When you heard that, you knew who was coming to the octagon. Then you start to doubt when the fans cheer and stand up. Now you know you in a title fight and you got to give it you all against one of the greatest to ever do it. The opponent puts pressure on themselves before silva steps in the octagon.
Obviously Anderson Silva would have still become the Legend he became... but his walkout to this song from THIS LEGEND! just made his career even more iconic and legendary. Smh Rest in Peace, Legend ✊ DMX!
Anderson Silva's entrance gets me pumped with this song.. I'm just a spectator of the sport but this gives me the highs every time.. Imagine those fans in the building.. it must have been amazing to watch the greatest of all time perform in the octagon.
I miss this man. Anderson Silva is the GOAT. No other fighter could replicate the aura, energy and atmosphere this man created. It was like watching a movie, and you could never predict the ending....every time.
