Chris Weidman Reveals How His Boxing Match With Anderson Silva Came Together

Weidman said he was first approached about boxing Silva two years ago but was focused on the UFC at the time. After retiring in Jan 2025, he accepted immediately when Silva’s manager called again, calling it “a fun fight” built on mutual respect. Weidman, who upset Silva twice in the UFC, now faces a vengeful 'Spider' on the Jake Paul vs. Gervonta Davis undercard on Nov. 14.
