But now Silva – nicknamed The Spider – has a new look post-UFC and has revealed his new facial hair.
And fans love it as one said: “What the f***.”
Another added: “Unrecognizable.”
One commented: “Steven Seagal mixing with Anderson Silva.”
Conor McGregor wrote: “Living legend.”
Silva, 48, left the UFC following just one win in his final nine bouts, including three defeats on the bounce.
But he made a switch to boxing and beat ex-world champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr, 37, and MMA star Tito Ortiz, 48.
He went on to then fight YouTuber-turned boxer Jake Paul, 26, where he suffered a points loss.
Silva also recently celebrated the reveal of a biopic series based on his life, set for release on Paramount+ on November 16.
The MMA icon – who has had TV cameos on Brazilian and American television – will be played by William Nascimento.
It will run over five episodes.
