I guess the news wasn’t fake after all.
Anderson Silva will finally get a chance to avenge his losses to fellow UFC veteran Chris Weidman … without the fear of another broken leg. “The Spider” has agreed
to box “All American” as part of the Jake Paul vs. Tank Davis lineup on Nov. 14 at Kaseya Center in Miami.
Their six-round heavyweight (205 lbs.) contest will open the Netflix-televised main card.
“This one is for Brazil,” said Nakisa Bidarian, co-founder and CEO of Most Valuable Promotions. “The greatest MMA fighter of all time Anderson Silva makes his return to boxing, in front of the world, against Chris Weidman, the man who ended Andersons’s record-setting championship reign. Both fighters have everything to gain on Friday, November 14 as legends closing out the trilogy chapter of a contentious rivalry, meeting in the ring for the first time following their two iconic clashes in the cage. Unfinished business will finally be settled.”
“I am super excited to embark on another battle against Chris,” said Anderson Silva. “We have a history and on Friday, November 14th, live only on Netflix, we’re putting another stamp on our chapter together. It will be a spectacle for the fans!”
“I’m undefeated in boxing and it’s gonna stay that way on Friday, November 14, live on Netflix,” said Chris Weidman. “I’m the original spider killer.”
More on this in just a bit.
