nt"

Saturday night could be the last time we see Anderson Silva inside the octagon when he headlines UFC on ESPN+ 39 against Uriah Hall at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas.

One thing’s for sure: If this truly is the end for the former longtime middleweight champion, it’s been one helluva ride.

The numbers speak for themselves: 2,457 consecutive days as champion (a UFC record); 16 consecutive wins (also a UFC record); 11 knockouts (tied for second most in UFC history); 10 consecutive title defenses (second most in UFC history); and countless others.
