Anderson Silva vs. Islam Makhachev: MMA's Ultimate Brawl!
Anderson Silva may not watch much MMA these days, but he is aware Islam Makhachev is on the verge of breaking his UFC record.
UFC Hall of Famer Anderson Silva may not regularly watch MMA these days, but his head turns when his records are being approached. Silva's 16-fight UFC winning streak was matched by Islam Makhachev in November when he moved up to welterweight to capture a second title by defeating Jack Della Maddalena at UFC 322. Makhachev will have the opportunity to stand alone if victorious in his next outing, which would be his first welterweight title defense.
Silva hopes he gets it done. "Everything is possible," Silva told MMA Junkie. "I'm happy because somebody broke this record, and the new generation in the future, the people will break this record again, again, again – this is good challenge for everybody when it comes.
"But I don't think the people think about, 'Oh, I go break this record, I go break this record. ' I think the people doing their job and when you see, 'Oh, my God! Really?
Yes, you broke the record! Oh, OK. Great.
