10 UFC Fighters Who Were Publicly Shamed For Their Actions

Anderson Silva

Former UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva was long considered the most dominant athlete in the sport of MMA. His ridiculous win streak during his reign as champion still stands unbeaten, but he got a dose of public shaming like very few before him.

After suffering a broken leg against Chris Weidman at UFC 168, ‘The Spider’ made a seemingly miraculous recovery to return only 13 months later. Doctors were amazed at how fast his leg had healed, but clearly it was not a natural occurrence.

After his UFC 183 fight with Nick Diaz, Silva popped for anabolic steroids for the first time in his storied career. To make things way worse, the Brazilian fighting legend would later argue his positive test was from a tainted vile of viagra juice sent to him by a friend in Thailand.

Legacy-crumbling to say the least.
