Nov. 21 (UPI) -- Tyron Woodley replaced Chris Weidman as Anderson Silva's foe for a boxing bout between ex-UFC champions Dec. 19 in Miami, promoters announced Friday.
"Rising to occasions like this are the moments where legends are born," Woodley said in a news release from Most Valuable Promotions.
Woodley will take on Silva in the six-round cruiserweight matchup on the undercard for a Jake Paul-Anthony Joshua heavyweight clash at the Kaseya Center, which will air on Netflix.
The 50-year-old Silva (3-2) and 43-year-old Woodley (0-2) each previously lost to Paul. The 28-year-old YouTube star-turned boxer beat Woodley twice in 2021. He beat Silva in their lone matchup in 2022.
