Former middleweight champion Anderson
Silva will return against Uriah Hall in
a featured middleweight bout at a UFC event on Oct. 31.
UFC president Dana White confirmed the pairing to
ESPN late on Tuesday. During a media scrum following the
Contender Series earlier in the evening, White said that it could
be the final fight of Silva’s MMA career. However, Silva’s
management told ESPN that a decision has yet to be made on “The
Spider’s” final bout.
The 45-year-old Silva last appeared at UFC 237, where he suffered
an injury due to a leg kick from Jared
Cannonier in May 2019. The legendary Brazilian has won just
once in his last eight promotional appearances dating back to
2013.
Hall, meanwhile, has won three of his last four Octagon outings,
including a split verdict over Antonio
Carlos Jr. at UFC Fight Night 158 last September. Hall was
supposed to face Ronaldo
Souza at UFC 249, but the bout was canceled after “Jacare”
tested positive for COVID-19.
