Rumored Anderson Silva vs Chris Weidman III to take place in Boxing

[BoxerMaurits]

A credible source who spoke directly with Chris Weidman at a wrestling tournament in Atlanta last week confirmed to Maurits School (@BoxerMaurits) that the trilogy fight with Anderson Silva is happening, and it will be under Boxing rules.

Weidman won their first two encounters in the Octagon: first with a knockout that ended Anderson Silva’s legendary title reign, then by checking a kick that broke Silva’s leg in brutal fashion.

Now, more than a decade later, the former UFC Middleweight Champions are set to run it back… this time in the ring!

Details like the date, weight, and number of rounds are unknown at the moment, but the fight itself has been confirmed by Chris Weidman.

Who takes the trilogy — The Spider or The All-American ?

Hell. Why not. 2025 has been a circus anyway.

Thanks, I hate it

When everything is a shit-show, learn to embrace the shit!

Kindly fuck off.

Weidman by age Anderson is 50 years old, people

 

[Mesos]

FFS Silva is 50 years old. They need to stop sanctioning these retirement boxing fights.

 

[The Clark]

Isn't Weidman still fighting in the UFC?

 

[TCE]

Isn't Weidman still fighting in the UFC?

Weidman was released ages ago.

 

[World eater]

Well, at least they are safe from low kicks.

 

[NoStoneUnturned]

Man..... fellas. I guess a dollar is a dollar.

 

[Tweak896]

Ehhh, sort of a fair fight, both broke their legs, and Silva gets the preferred sport for his age. I don't mind it. Sucks if Silva gets KO'd again. Would be a W if Silva gets revenge. I kind of like it, the first 2 fights were very strange.

 

[TheBulge]

The curse of this matchup died out with the Hall shin snap incident. I hoped it ended there.

 

[bobafett]

Silva can finally get a win!!!

 

[alchemy]

Weidman was released ages ago.

Not true. He fought at UFC 310 in December 2024 and retired himself in January 2025. He wasn't "released".
