Jake Paul drops Anderson Silva in win

Posted on October 30, 2022October 30, 2022 by Santiago Leon

Jake Paul, the YouTube-star-turned-prizefighter, beat former longtime UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva by unanimous decision (77-74, 78-73, 78-73) Saturday night at Desert Diamond Arena. The bout was very competitive, but Paul pulled away late and sealed the victory by dropping Silva in the eighth round with a right hand.

β€œHe was my idol growing up,” Paul said. β€œHe inspired me to be great.”

This was the toughest matchup so far for Paul, the 25-year-old social media maven. Silva is 47 years old, but he had solid boxing performances, including a win over former world champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr., after leaving the UFC in 2020.

Paul (6-0) now owns victories over three UFC fighters: Silva, former welterweight champion Tyron Woodley (two wins, including a knockout) and Ben Askren.
