Silva (34-11) is widely considered one of the greatest mixed martial artists of all time. The Brazilian had a sixteen-fight winning streak in the UFC, including ten middleweight title defenses.

Silva then announced plans to pursue police training with the Beverly Hills Police Department. The Brazilian native, who lives in California, sees it as his opportunity to give back to the United States.
