Who would have thought that back when Jake Paul knocked out Nate Robinson on an undercard for Triller we would end up here? After begrudgingly impressive performances against MMA champions Ben Askren and Tyron Woodley, the influencer has landed a fight with a combat sports legend.
On Saturday night, live on Showtime PPV/Fite.tv, Paul will fight former UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva (in a professionally sanctioned bout).
The 47-year-old comes into this one off the back of boxing wins over Tito Ortiz and Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. It should also be mentioned that prior to being locked into his UFC contract, Silva dabbled in boxing.
