Anderson Silva’s UFC journey doesn’t have a fairytale ending.
The former middleweight champion was defeated in the fourth round by Uriah Hall, and it’s highly possible it’s the last time we’ll see “The Spider” in the Octagon. Check out the reactions from the legend’s colleagues below:
What a great career for the Spider! One of the best ever! #UFC

The final walk! That should be the name of Anderson Silva’s story! What an emotional moment for Hall and especially Silva. I don’t know if words can even describe the thoughts and what Silva felt pre and post-fight. Anderson “The Spider Silva”- Forever a legend!#Vegas12
