Anderson Silva vs. Chris Weidman: Clash of Legends in Boxing

The MMA legend, Anderson Silva, returns to the ring to face one of his biggest rivals: Chris Weidman. This exciting fight will take place as part of the undercard of the fight between Jake Paul and Gervonta Davis, on November 14th at the Kaseya Center in Miami. The match, which will be broadcast live on Netflix as the opening fight of the main card, will be a six-round boxing match in the heavyweight category.

“Anderson and his team approached me immediately after the Jake Paul vs. ‘Tank’ Davis fight was announced and said they would like to be part of the event and would like to fight Chris Weidman,” commented Nakisa Bidarian, CEO and co-founder of Most Valuable Promotions.

The fight will give Silva the opportunity to avenge his MMA defeats to Weidman, albeit in the context of boxing. Silva was knocked out by Weidman in July 2013, ending his historic 2,457-day reign as UFC middleweight champion. The rematch, five months later, resulted in a TKO loss for Silva after suffering a serious leg fracture.

“I’m super excited to embark on another battle against Chris,” Silva declared. “We have a history and on Friday, November 14th, live only on Netflix, we are putting another stamp on our chapter together. It will be a show for the fans!”

Weidman, who held the UFC middleweight title for two and a half years after defeating Silva, has also faced challenges, including a leg fracture in 2021. Although he announced his retirement from the UFC in January, he will now seek to try his luck in boxing.

“I am undefeated in boxing and will remain so on Friday, November 14, live on Netflix,” Weidman stated. “I am the original ‘spider killer’.”

Silva has a 3-2 boxing record, with a victory over Julio César Chávez Jr. in 2021 and a loss to Jake Paul in 2022. Weidman will make his professional boxing debut. “This is for Brazil… the best MMA fighter of all time, Anderson Silva, returns to boxing, facing the world, against Chris Weidman, the man who ended Anderson’s record championship reign,” said Bidarian. “Both fighters have a lot to gain on Friday, November 14th, as the legends close the chapter on a contentious rivalry, meeting in the ring for the first time after their two iconic cage matchups. Unfinished business will finally be settled.”
