UFC legend Anderson Silva is popularly known as 'The Spider'. While many believe that Silva got the nickname because of his prolific fighting style and his entertaining showboating inside the octagon, the reality is different.
According to the former UFC middleweight champion, he was wearing a shirt with an image of Spiderman on it ahead of a fight. That's when an announcer told him he resembles the superhero on his shirt. To Silva's surprise, she announced him as 'Brazil's Spiderman' for the fight. Since then, Anderson Silva has adopted the nickname.
"Before a fight, I was wearing a shirt with Spiderman on it when an announcer came up and joked that I looked like the superhero on the shirt. To my surprise, when I entered the ring, she announced: Anderson Silva, Brazil’s Spiderman." -- Anderson Silva told Veja.abril.com.br. (Translated by Graciemag.com)
After spending almost 15 years with the UFC, Anderson Silva parted ways with the promotion in 2020. He was on a woeful run of three defeats in a row before leaving the UFC. However, Silva will always be considered one of the greatest fighters to ever grace the octagon. He was undefeated in 16 fights inside the octagon before finally succumbing to a devastating KO loss at the hands of Chris Weidman.
