Silva was 17-4 outside the UFC before making his debut in Las Vegas against Chris Leben on June 28, 2006. There was huge hype surrounding Silva’s debut and he more than lived up to it: He knocked Leben out with a vicious knee in just 49 seconds.
He was one of the key athletes who helped transition the sport into the modern era and boost its popularity.
