Ultimate Fighters MMA Jiu Jitsu MMA MMA MMA Mix Martial Arts Training Muay Thai Boxing Early Martial Arts Training: Wanderlei Silva learned some of what he knows about fighting the old fashioned way- the street. That said, at age 13 he began formal training in Muay Thai. Later in his teen years, he joined the military where his fighting abilities became quickly obvious as he rose up in the ranks. Silva had already won some fighting tournaments in his age group by the time he enlisted. More recently, Silva achieved a black belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu under Carlos Gracie, Jr. Early MMA Career: Silva made his professional mixed martial arts debut on November 1, 1996, defeating Dilson Filho by KO due to a vicious elbow at a Brazilian Vale Tudo Fighting (BVD) organization event. He then went on to win his next three fights by way of stoppage (BVD and IVC events) before falling to Artur Mariano via TKO (cut). From there, Silva achieved one more victory over Mike Van Arsdale (KO) before the UFC called. However, Silva lost to Vitor Belfort by way of TKO in his inaugural UFC effort. He would then go on to win six straight fights, some in the PRIDE organization, one in the UFC, before a huge bout.

Unfortunately for him, Ortiz achieved takedowns at will and pounded his way to a unanimous decision victory. Some might say that Silva used the loss to fuel his fire in the PRIDE organization. Wanderlei Silva as PRIDE Champion: Silva went 18 straight bouts without a loss after the Ortiz encounter, mostly in the PRIDE organization. He became the PRIDE Middleweight Champion on November 3, 2001, after stopping Japanese legend Kazushi Sakuraba for the second time. Silva's winning streak came to an end on New Year's Eve 2005 when he lost a split decision to Mark Hunt. After splitting a pair of fights with rival Ricardo Arona (winning the second to keep his belt) Silva was eventually brutally KO'd by both Mirko "Cro Cop" Filipovic (heavyweight) and then Dan Henderson. He lost his belt to Henderson in his last PRIDE fight.
