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

MMA legend Anderson Silva will return to the ring to face one of his biggest rivals, Chris Weidman. This exciting fight will take place on November 14th at the Kaseya Center in Miami, as part of the Jake Paul vs. Gervonta Davis card. The boxing match, scheduled for six rounds in the heavyweight category, will be broadcast live on Netflix as the initial fight of the main card.

“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.

This fight will give Silva the opportunity to seek revenge against Weidman, although in a boxing ring. Silva was knocked out by Weidman in July 2013, ending his historic 2,457-day reign as UFC middleweight champion. The rematch, held five months later, ended with Silva losing by technical knockout due to a serious leg injury.

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

Weidman, who was UFC middleweight champion for 2 and a half years after defeating Silva, will make his professional boxing debut.

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

Silva has a 3-2 boxing record, including a victory over former middleweight champion Julio César Chávez Jr. in 2021 and a loss to Jake Paul in his most recent fight in 2022. The event promises to be a historic moment for the sport, with two MMA legends facing off in a new discipline.
