In 2013, Weidman ended Silva’s incredible 16-fight winning streak and seven-year UFC middleweight title reign. The streak was and is still the longest in UFC history. And at the time, Silva’s 10 straight title defenses were also a UFC record.
Weidman put a halt to it all with a second-round knockout to win the belt at UFC 162. He then beat Silva again at UFC 168 five months later to retain the title.
It was one of the biggest stories of that year and will forever be remembered in MMA annals. Since then, Silva has just one victory on his résumé.
