At 50, Anderson Silva is back in action in combat sports. Last Thursday (16), the 'Most Valuable Promotions' announced that the Brazilian will fight against Chris Weidman for the third time, now in boxing, on November 14th, in Miami (USA). Having the chance to take revenge on the American, 'The Spider' did not hide his excitement for the classic that will be broadcast live on Netflix.
In an official statement sent to the press, Anderson ignored the fact that he was too old to compete in combat sports and promised that the trilogy with his rival has everything to be historic and high-level. The boxing duel between the UFC legends is part of the card headlined by Jake Paul vs. Gervonta Davis, but, if it depends on the Brazilian, thrilled to have another opportunity to compete in the ring, he will steal the show.

Anderson at a disadvantage
Historically, Anderson Silva does not have good memories of Chris WeidmanIn the UFC, the Brazilian faced the wrestler on two occasions and came out on the worst.
In 2013, as the dominant middleweight champion (up to 83,9 kg), 'Spider' was soundly knocked out by the American in the second round, a result that shocked the world. In the rematch, held that same year, the MMA legend fractured his leg after low-kicking 'The All-American.' Now, Anderson hopes to secure the first victory over Weidman in their boxing trilogy.
