Revisiting the Silva vs Weidman MMA Rivalry

The trilogy between Anderson Silva and Chris Weidman has a long history in the UFC. Weidman surprised the world by knocking out Silva in their first fight at UFC 162, ending Silva’s nearly seven-year tenure as the champion. Silva’s second fight with Weidman at UFC 168 ended disastrously for him; he snapped his leg in Round 2, giving Weidman his second TKO win.

Over a decade later, fans will finally witness the third and final chapter, not in the cage, but in the ring.

What Makes Silva vs Weidman III a Must-Watch Boxing Bout

This fight is more than just a trip down memory lane. Silva can try to make up for two terrible losses, and Weidman can show that he can do well outside of MMA.

Silva, who is 50 years old, knows a lot about boxing. His boxing technique, which is based on movement, timing, and counter-striking, could work well with the regulations of classical boxing. Weidman, who is 41 years old, will look to use his quickness, strength, and strategy to become used to a new fighting sport.

While neither fighter is in their prime, both still draw massive fan interest, especially with the fight’s historical weight and Netflix’s global platform behind it.

Will Silva Get Revenge or Will Weidman Go 3–0?

There may not be title belts on the line in Silva vs. Weidman 3, but the emotional and legacy value is clear. Will Silva finally win, or will Weidman win all of them?

The fight is going to be one of the most talked-about crossover events of the year since it will be on one of boxing’s most interesting cards, along with Paul vs. Davis and title bouts featuring Alycia Baumgardner and Gary Antuanne Russell.
