Most Valuable Promotions (MVP) has added former UFC legend Anderson \u201cThe Spider\u201d Silva to the main card of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.netflix.com\/title\/82122635\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Jake vs. Joshua: Judgement Day<\/a>, and he\u2019ll now face former UFC champion Tyron Woodley in a six-round cruiserweight fight (195 lbs).<\/p>\n<p>The bout arrives after Silva\u2019s originally announced opponent was moved\/changed earlier in the fall. Originally, Silva and Chris \u201cThe All-American\u201d Weidman were scheduled to <a href=\"https:\/\/cordcuttersnews.com\/former-ufc-champions-to-clash-in-boxing-trilogy-on-netflixs-jake-vs-tank-card\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">settle their UFC trilogy outside of the Octagon<\/a> and inside the ring during Jake vs. Tank.

Always respecting my opponent and showing total respect to the boxing world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The new addition to the card pits two era-defining MMA icons in a nostalgia spectacle under boxing rules.
