Anderson Silva says goodbye to the UFC tonight in a duel against Uriah Hall | combat

Since 2006, when he began his career on Ultimate, Anderson experienced all kinds of emotions on the show. From the dramatic win against Chael Sonnen to the show against Forrest Griffin, to traumatic losses when he faced Chris Weidman or leading the turn of the sport in Brazil by knocking out Vitor Belfort.

In his last appearance in the Octagon, Spider will attempt to end a bad and unprecedented sequence in his career of just one win in his last eight fights. Although the recent retrospective is not the best, Anderson continues to be admired for his time with the organization, as demonstrated in a series of reports on the Combate.com.

Opponent of the former middleweight champion tonight, Uriah Hall is coming off two wins. He should have faced the Brazilian in 2016, at UFC 198, but Anderson needed emergency surgery and ended up cut from the duel.

The Jamaican does not hide his admiration and fascination for Spider. In an interview with Combat, the fighter admitted that he was not ready to face one of his greatest idols.

– It is very strange, because this was the boy whom I imitated a lot and with whom I learned a lot. Of course, you always want to test yourself against the person who inspired you or whom you admire. But the whole world is in your ear saying, “Finish him!” There are so many emotions going on, and I’m not going to lie, I didn’t prepare for that. You look at it and think, “What’s going on?” I am honored to share the Octagon with Anderson Silva. This is the struggle of life, it is an even more admirable moment.
