Anderson Silva rejects Jake Paul's tattoo offer ahead of boxing fight

UFC legend Anderson Silva has refused to engage in Jake Paul 's pre-fight antics by shutting down his tattoo bet.

Paul, 25, looks to extend his unbeaten run to six professional fights when he faces 48-year-old Silva in arguably his toughest challenge to date. The YouTube star often makes pre-fight bets with his opponents and he tried to do the same with Silva, issuing a tattoo challenge to the Brazilian. Before Paul could even finish his sentence about getting a spider tattoo if he loses on October 29, Silva said there's no way he would entertain the bet.

"No no no stop, let me tell them. You don't need to get a spider tattoo, I know you're my fan don't worry," he said. "Stop, come on. I'm your fan too, I'm a big fan but I hate tattoos bro. I hate them, I don't have tattoos. My kids have tattoos and I say 'why do you have that' and they say 'dad you need to get one' and I say 'no no, stop'."
