Hold your horses on the comeback fight of Anderson Silva.
Former UFC Middleweight Champion Anderson Silva is one of the greatest mixed martial artists of all time. Owner of the longest winning series in UFC history (16) and the second most title defense (10), Silva continued to fight with his estate in his forty fighting.
After his UFC exit in 2020, Silva returned to boxing in 2021, picking up victories at former WBC champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. And Tito Ortiz before he dropped a decision for Jake Paul the following year.
Since then, 50-year-old Silva has only fought once in an exhibition match against former UFC title Challenger Chael Sonnen last summer, which ended in a draw.
This week, Silva is said to be reportedly another former rival of him in Chris Weidman, the hunter who removed his middleweight title in 2013.
However, according to the Silva family, the trilogy fight may not happen.

Anderson Silva's children call 'Cap' on boxing return vs. Chris Weidman
On Friday, Silva's Boxer -Sons Gabriel and Kalyl responded to a report that their father had been set to fight Weidman again.
“I don't think my father knows this,” said Kalyl in a now deleted Silva vs. Weidman post of complete violence.
“I don't think so either,” replied Silva's daughter Kaory.
'[Cap]'Gabriel noticed an emoji of a hat, which suggests that it was not fighting news.
At the moment Anderson Silva should not yet close the rumors of his boxing match with Weidman yet.
Weidman is 2-0 against Silva in MMA and beats him in back-to-back fights in 2013, one by knockout after Silva Showboated, and the other, a leg injury for Silva after Weidman had checked a leg kick.
