Anderson Silva is said to be opposed to Chris Weidman in a boxing match without a date is currently set up
In the last match of Anderson Silva, he participated in an exhibition match with his former UFC -Rival Chael Sonnen that he previously encountered twice in the Octagon.

The main event (via Maurits School) claimed that Chris Weidman told a source during a recent wrestling tournament that, although further details have not been agreed at the moment, he will box Silva in the near future.
They met earlier at UFC 162 and UFC 168 in 2013, where after Weidman had produced one of the greatest disturbances in the MMA history to put an end to the dominant title line of Silva, he won the Rematch after the Brazilian sustained a devastating leg injury in the second round.

While Silva continued to compete after the three-fighter losing series that ended his UFC career, fans took care of the responses to the report.
“Yes, what I think about this.”
“He is 50.”
“Guy gets too old for this.”
“Two retired hunters who just make money.”
'I believe that Silva can get it back, my only concern is that Chris might have a huge force advantage because Silva is 50 years old. It is simply not in human biology to be able to make big shots at that age. '
“Nobody is going to break his leg this time, anyway.”
Chris Weidman was originally planned to continue his MMA career after saying goodbye to ways with the UFC
Although Anderson Silva did not participate in the UFC for five years, the last outing of Chris Weidman did not take place at UFC 310 until December.
Earlier this year he announced that he would withdraw from the UFC before it was announced a little more than a week later that he had signed with the GFL.
Weidman would face his former opponent Luke Rockhold in the first matchup announced by the promotion until the debut events of the GFL were canceled indefinitely.
