The last few months in boxing have served up many surprising clashes. Whether it is retired legends coming back to the sport, or YouTubers facing professionals, it has been unpredictable, to say the least. And the boxing fight between Anderson Silva and Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. is another example of this. Former UFC champion Silva will face Chavez Jr. in an eight-round professional bout. And the event has already given one big talking point as Chavez Jr. missed weight and claimed he did not know that he had to make 182 lbs [https://www.essentiallysports.com/boxing-news-julio-cesar-chavez-jr-loses-100000-of-purse-money-to-anderson-silva-after-missing-weight/]. So ahead of the fight, here are three outrageous things that we think could happen. [https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/Anderson-Silva-Juliio-Cesar-Chavez-Jr.jpg] THREE PREDICTIONS FOR ANDERSON SILVA VS. JULIO CESAR CHAVEZ JR. 1. Anderson Silva to attempt a head-kick: Silva has spent the last 20 years mastering MMA. In addition, he was famous for his fantastic head movement and vicious kicks. And if the fight turns into a slugfest, it would be no surprise to see Silva’s instincts take over, and he attempts a leg kick. Although unlikely, it would be a huge talking point if it happens. 2. Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. to knock out Anderson Silva like Chris Weidman: One of the biggest upsets in UFC history came when Anderson Silva faced Chris Weidman [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/chris-weidman/]. ‘The Spider’ started show-boating and showed off his incredible head movement. However, Weidman landed one of the many punches he three and sent Silva down. It will be no surprise if the former UFC champion [http://ufcstats.com/fighter-details/1f454354805b6f75] shows off his incredible head movement again. However, Chavez Jr. is a former world champion and could easily make him pay.

Anderson Silva calls out Roy Jones Jr.: In the build-up to this fight, Silva has insisted that he wants to continue fighting. And ‘The Spider’ [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/anderson-silva/] has had a long-standing verbal battle with boxing legend Roy Jones Jr. Therefore, regardless of the result, there is a good chance ‘The Spider’ will call out Jones Jr. [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/roy-jones-jr/] for an exhibition. Therefore, these are three unlikely things that we think could happen in the fight. While many suspect the bout will be fairly uneventful, it would be no surprise if any of these three events happen.

<p style="color: #252525">Weidman was on the receiving end of a controversial result in his fight against <strong style="color: #252525">Gegard Mousasi</strong> at UFC 210. The referee put a pause on the action, as he believed Mousasi landed illegal strikes on a downed Weidman. However, the referee soon changed his decision as one of Weidman's hands appeared to be up in the replays. Therefore, he added a TKO loss to his resume in a debatable manner.</p>

However, his stocks never experienced a dip due to his commitment to fighting. Chris Weidman&#8217;s record and stats The Serra-Longo Fight Team representative holds a record of 15-6. His penchant for finishes is evident in his six knockout wins and four submission victories. Chris Weidman&#8217;s fighting style Weidman has what one could describe as a well-rounded fighting style. As a BJJ black belt holder, he has good grappling skills, above-average striking skills, and excellent wrestling. Therefore, he is dangerous both on the mat and on the feet. Chris Weidman&#8217;s cars and houses The middleweight star owns a large entourage of cars and especially a white Mustang to travel in, which he never fails to show off. Furthermore, he used to live in a luxury house in Dix Hills, New York, but he switched to a new place in South Carolina in the summer of 2020. Chris Weidman&#8217;s Controversies Weidman was on the receiving end of a controversial result in his fight against Gegard Mousasi at UFC 210. The referee put a pause on the action, as he believed Mousasi landed illegal strikes on a downed Weidman. However, the referee soon changed his decision as one of Weidman&#8217;s hands appeared to be up in the replays. Therefore, he added a TKO loss to his resume in a debatable manner.
