Chris Weidman is open to boxing Anderson Silva if promoters are willing to cough up \u201cgood money.\u201d<\/p>\n

But new reports<\/a> claiming the former UFC middleweight champion is set for a \u201cSpider\u201d trilogy are categorically false, according to the \u201cAll American,\u201d who suggested that someone went to print based solely on Weidman\u2019s off-the-cuff remark at last weekend\u2019s national wrestling tournament in Atlanta.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo,\u201d Weidman told MMA Junkie<\/a> when asked if there was any truth to the rumor. \u201cPeople would love to see me go against Anderson Silva again. His fans could see if he could get a win back on me and knock me out in boxing. That\u2019s more his thing, so why not? But that being said, no. I know where it came from because my manager did some research and found out. I\u2019d entertain it for good money. So someone ran with the Anderson Silva thing and just said I said it\u2019s set. I didn\u2019t say it\u2019s set. There\u2019s not talks. There\u2019s no dates set. I was just going to let them run with it cause maybe it ends up happening. But no, there\u2019s no talks that I know of.\u201d<\/p>\n
