The boy was fond of martial arts from an early age. At the age of 10 he began to master taekwondo and for 4 years he demonstrated excellent results. At the age of 18 he became the owner of a black belt in this sport. The young man was also attracted by other types of wrestling: muay-tai and jiu-jitsu. In 2006, Silva was the winner of the black belt in the second kind of struggle and received the coveted award for efforts from the hands of Antonio Nogueira. He also has a black belt in judo.

The first place of training of the athlete was Chute Boxe Academy. After a while, Anderson chose to open his own club, which was called Muay Thai Dream Team. The young man saw prospects in his activities and created a sports biography himself. In 2006, he founded the Black House team, which included the Nogueira brothers, Lioto Machida, and other fighters. Two years later, Anderson opened a professional martial arts academy in Miami.

In 2001, Silva defeated Ayato Sakuray, who managed to hold the status of the winner in 20 fights in a row. The Japanese could not resist, and the 3rd round was the final for him. Having played for pride Fighting Championships since 2002, Silva won his first three fights, but lost in 2003 to Daitza Tactsa.

Since 2006, the fighter became a partner of the UFC organization and snatched victory in a fight with Chris Liben. For this performance, the athlete received the "Knockout of the Evening" award.

The athlete planned to retire as a UFC champion, but under the contract had to withstand six more fights before thinking about further prospects. In 2012, the fighter defended the middleweight title for the 10th time, setting the bar high for his opponents.

The title had to be lost in the summer of 2013 to an opponent named Chris Weidman. The defeat was all the more disappointing that Anderson broke his leg during the fight. He was inactive for a year, undergoing rehabilitation after injury. In 2015, Silva entered the ring against Nick Diaz and defeated his opponent.
