Anderson Silva owns a 22-4 overall MMA record. The number ‘4’ that comes after the ’22’ means that he can be defeated.
Well, actually it shows that he was able to be defeated. You see, the man that they call “The Spider” hasn’t really lost an MMA match since Ryo Chonan took him out with a highlight reel Flying Scissor Heel Hook on Dec. 31, 2004.
That’s almost four full years ago. If you drop his loss to Yushin Okami, a bout he lost via disqualification after knocking his adversary out with an up kick while his knees were still down, Silva has won 10 straight fights since then. If you decide to bring that loss into the equation, then he’s taken home victory in eight straight.
By the way, every one of those eight (or 10) victories has come by way of stoppage. Thus, in order to find out if Anderson Silva is beatable, we need to go back in time to see how he has lost in the past.
As was said earlier, Silva lost to Ryo Chonan via a ridiculous once-in-a-lifetime submission. Before that on June 8, 2003, he lost to Daiju Takase by triangle choke. The other loss came to Luiz Azeredo by way of decision in his first professional MMA fight ever back in 2000.
