Anderson Silva will have a chance to avenge two of the most painful losses of his MMA career.
Only the matchup of two former UFC champions will take place in a boxing ring on the undercard of the fight between Jake Paul and Gervonta Davis Nov. 14 in Miami, anounced Most Valuable Promotions, co-founded by Paul.
Silva is set to square off with Chris Weidman, who beat Silva twice in 2013 — by punches in their first fight and after Silva had to quit because of a broken leg in the second fight.
Weidman won the UFC middleweight championship with the first victory over Silva and then defended the title three times. Silva had reigned as UFC middleweight for more than six years. But this bout will not feature vintage fighters even close to their peaks.
Silva is 50 and 3-2 as a pro boxer. His last pro fight was in 2022 against Paul and he lost by unanimous decision. Weidman is 41 and will be making his pro boxing debut.
