Anderson “The Spider” Silva and Chris “The All-American” Weidman are running it back — not in the cage, but in the boxing ring — on Friday, November 14, live from Miami’s Kaseya Center, streaming on Netflix.
The fight headlines the Jake Paul vs Gervonta “Tank” Davis mega card, making this one of the most explosive combat events of the year.
Ten years of pain, pride, and unfinished business are coming full circle.
Anderson Silva: The Artist Turned Avenger
Anderson Silva’s return isn’t about nostalgia or cash grabs — it’s personal.
The Brazilian legend (3-2 boxing, 34-11 MMA) ruled an era with 17 straight wins and 10 UFC title defenses, creating highlight reels that made him a myth.
Then came Chris Weidman — 2013.
First, the shocking knockout. Then the gruesome leg break.
Silva’s empire fell in an instant.
Now, at 49 years old, “The Spider” is back to rewrite the ending.
“We have a history,” Silva said. “This is another battle. A spectacle. We’re putting another stamp on our chapter — live on Netflix.”
For Silva, this isn’t just another fight. It’s redemption — and maybe peace — on his own terms.
Chris Weidman: The Spider Killer Returns
Chris Weidman has nothing to prove — and that’s what makes him dangerous.
The New Yorker (16-8 MMA) has been through years of injuries, surgeries, and comebacks, but the man who twice beat Anderson Silva isn’t showing up to be anyone’s memory.
“I’m undefeated in boxing,” Weidman said. “And it’s gonna stay that way. I’m the original Spider killer.”
That Long Island toughness hasn’t faded. He ended Silva’s golden run once. He plans to bury it for good on November 14.

Nakisa Bidarian, the man running MVP, put it simply:
“This is unfinished business — legends settling scores, live on the biggest stage. Anderson’s comeback, Weidman’s pride — one more round for the ages.”
Two Legends. One Ghost. One Last Fight.
For Silva, it’s pride.
For Weidman, it’s legacy.
For the fans, it’s pure theater — a trilogy marinated in pain, payback, and respect.
One’s chasing peace. The other’s chasing proof.
It doesn’t matter if it’s in a cage, ring, or car park — this was always going to happen.
Silva don’t need to prove nothing. He already a legend. I think he doing this for himself, not fans. But still, he risking his health and that’s dumb at his age.
He doing it for pride, man. When you a fighter, you don’t just stop. He wanna leave the sport on his own terms. That’s real.
Yeah but pride don’t fix broken bones. He already got hurt bad once. If he loses again it just makes things worse. He should’ve stayed retired.
Jake Paul and Tank Davis on the same card makes no sense. One is a YouTuber, the other a real champion. This whole event just feels like a circus, not a serious boxing night at all. 🤷
I don’t care what anybody says, this fight is about respect. Silva wants to end things right and Weidman got pride. This ain’t just another match, this personal and gonna be emotional for real fans.
I think Silva gonna surprise people. He been training and he ain’t just coming back for no reason. He wants revenge and that makes him dangerous. Weidman better not underestimate him or he in trouble.
This fight should be in the UFC, not boxing. They both MMA fighters, not boxers. It’s weird and don’t feel right. Fans wanna see them do what they known for, not this punching only stuff.
Exactly. Boxing makes it boring. They should be kicking and grappling. That’s how they fought before. This just looks like a cash grab for Netflix.
Nah man, boxing is better. No wrestling and just hands. It’s more exciting sometimes. Plus it’s safer for Silva with his leg and all.
People keep hyping Silva but forget he been losing before. He ain’t the same guy from the old days. He got knocked out and broke his leg. That don’t just go away. Weidman gonna win easy.
Weidman already beat Silva twice, so I don’t even get why they doing this again. It’s just for money and clout. Ain’t nobody asking for this rematch, it don’t prove nothing.
I think Silva is too old to be fighting again, especially against someone like Weidman. Boxing ain’t the same as MMA and age really matters in boxing. He’s just gonna get hurt again.
You wrong, Silva still got skills. He beat Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. in boxing. Weidman not even a boxer, Silva got a real chance here if he don’t mess around.
I agree with Victoria. This fight is just for hype. They too old to be fighting. Should just retire and let the young ones shine now.
