Anderson Silva

Silva has had a legendary UFC career.

Anderson Silva is probably one of the biggest names in UFC history and for good reason. At the age of 43, Silva is still kicking it and is set to take on Israel Adesanya in UFC 234 in Australia this Saturday. While Silva is still fighting, it's safe to say that his career will be coming to an end soon and it appears as though Dana White is in agreement with that. In an interview with TMZ Sports, Dana White spoke about Anderson Silva's status in the UFC and what being knocked out would mean going forward.

"I don't know. I would probably imagine [it would be the end]," White said. "But, who knows with this guy."

If Silva were to win on Saturday, he would most likely be given a middleweight title shot. As of right now, Robert Whittaker holds that title but is going up against Kelvin Gastelum this weekend. The winner of that fight will probably get the winner of Silva vs Adesanya.

Even if Silva goes down on Saturday, White still feels as though Silva is one of the best fighters in the UFC in its history and that he deserves a place in the Hall Of Fame.

Who do you have winning this weekend?
