After taking part in a multi-million dollar ad campaign for Brazilian TV that featured Jean Claude Van Damme and five other Brazilian martial arts legends, it appears that Anderson Silva will do his retirement fight under boxing rules.

Word of the fight, which is part of the Spaten Beer Marketing Campaign, began to spread when Silva posted “Spider Grande Finale June 15” on his Instagram stories. According to a source close to the situation, the fight will take place in Sao Paulo, Brazil, against another big-name star of the sport. It will be a closed event with only 600 VIP guests allowed to attend.
