Tonight, during the UFC 286 show, it was announced that Anderson Silva will be inducted into the UFC Hall of Fame as part of the Pioneer Division.

“The Spider” held the UFC Middleweight Title from 2006 to 2013, and compiled a 16-match winning streak, which remains the longest in promotion history.  Silva had an overall MMA record of 34-11-0-1, won the Fight of the Night five times, Knockout of the Night seven times, and Submission of the Night twice.  He holds wins over Rich Franklin (twice), Dan Henderson, Forest Griffin, Chael Sonnen (twice), Vitor Belfour and Stephen Bonnar, and is the greatest Middleweight in company history.
