Anderson Silva vs. Chris Weidman: Clash of Legends in Boxing<\/h2>\n\nMMA legend Anderson Silva will return to the boxing ring to face one of his biggest rivals, former UFC middleweight champion Chris Weidman. The fight will be part of the Jake Paul vs. Gervonta Davis card on November 14 at the Kaseya Center in Miami.\n\nThe boxing match, which will be broadcast live on Netflix as the opening fight of the main card, will be a six-round heavyweight bout.\n\n\n

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. Once it was clear that both men wanted it, and wanted it as a professional fight, MVP was 100% involved given the history between them, reaching a broader generational consumer base and improving the event’s marketing in Brazil.<\/p>Nakisa Bidarian, CEO and co-founder of Most Valuable Promotions<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\nThis matchup will give 50-year-old Silva the opportunity to avenge his MMA defeats to Weidman, albeit 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 took place five months later and Silva lost by TKO after suffering a terrible leg fracture.\n\n\n

I’m very excited to embark on another battle against Chris. 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!<\/p>Anderson Silva<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\nWeidman, 41, was the UFC middleweight champion for 2 and a half years after defeating Silva, achieving three successful title defenses against Silva, Lyoto Machida, and Vitor Belfort before losing to Luke Rockhold in December 2015. After starting his career with a 13-0 record, he had a 3-9 record and dealt with a myriad of injuries, including a leg fracture in 2021. He announced his retirement from the UFC in January, but signed with Global Fight League and was scheduled to face Rockhold in April. However, the fight never materialized as GFL canceled all its events indefinitely.\n\nThe outstanding college wrestler will now try his luck in a boxing ring and seek to reach 3-0 against one of the greatest mixed martial artists of all time.\n\n\n

I am undefeated in boxing and will remain so on Friday, November 14th, live on Netflix. I am the original spider killer.<\/p>Chris Weidman<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\nSilva has a 3-2 record as a boxer, with a victory over former middleweight champion Julio C\u00e9sar Ch\u00e1vez Jr. in 2021 and a loss to Jake Paul in his most recent outing in 2022. Weidman will make his professional boxing debut.\n\n\n

This is for Brazil… the greatest 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. Both fighters have everything to gain on Friday, November 14th as legends closing the chapter of a contentious rivalry, meeting in the ring for the first time after their two iconic cage matchups. The unfinished business will finally be settled.<\/p>Nakisa Bidarian<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
