Chael Sonnen and Anderson Silva will revive their legendary rivalry in the boxing ring as the two mixed martial arts icons meet in an exhibition boxing bout.
Sonnen and Silva had two classic bouts in the UFC, with the Brazilian coming out on top on both occasions.
Silva’s first win over the American came at UFC 117 as he claimed the UFC middleweight championship with a submission victory.
The rematch took place two years later, though once again it was Silva who kept hold of the middleweight crown with a second-round TKO win.
Twelve years on from their last encounter, the two men will now clash in the boxing ring in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
The exhibition bout will take place over five two-minute rounds at 216 pounds.
