It remains one of the most shocking moments in MMA history, and one that fans still talk about today.<\/p>\n<p>Silva has had success inside the boxing ring. He\u2019s defeated the likes of former boxing world champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. and Tito Ortiz. \u201cThe Spider\u201d dropped a unanimous decision to Paul back in Oct. 2022.<\/p>\n<p>Weidman has yet to have a pro boxing match, so it\u2019ll be interesting to see how he fares against Silva in this environment.
