Their first two encounters took place in the UFC back in 2013, when they battled for the middleweight title. Weidman won both fights — the first by knockout, and the second after Silva suffered a horrific leg break in one of the most unforgettable moments in MMA history.
Since retiring from mixed martial arts, Silva has stayed active through boxing, including a previous bout against Jake Paul. Weidman, now 41, will be making his boxing debut against the Brazilian icon, looking to secure his third victory in their storied rivalry — this time, using only his fists.
