Anderson Silva is no stranger to falling from grace.

The 42-year-old former longtime middleweight champion defended his 185-pound title a record-setting 10 consecutive times before being shockingly knocked out by Chris Weidman at UFC 162 in 2013. While many still consider him to be the greatest fighter of all-time, Silva has since gone just 1-3-1.

For this reason, Silva can relate to fellow Brazilian Jose Aldo, a man many consider to be the best featherweight to have ever graced the Octagon. Aldo, however, has suffered two stoppage losses in his last three bouts, losing his title via third round TKO to Max Holloway in the main event of UFC 212 this past weekend (June 3, 2017) in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Silva took to his official Instagram account to offer his ‘brother’ some positive words:
