Michael Bisping, a former UFC middleweight champion and current analyst, named the greatest middleweight in the promotion's history.
"Now Anderson Silva ahead in all respects: knockouts, victories, defenses, duration of fights, and all other parameters. Adesanya is incredibly fun to watch, but the way Anderson Silva dealt with his opponents was legendary in its day.
These are two great fighters from two different eras, they got to fight each other, and of course Israel won, but as I said, you canāt take this fight too seriously... Now the greatest middleweight of all time is without a doubt Anderson Silva...,ā said the Briton.
