Anderson Silva is keeping a close eye on the upcoming boxing showdown between Jake Paul and Nate Diaz.
The former UFC middleweight champion and MMA legend very much enjoyed the recent booking between Paul and Diaz. Not only does Silva think it’s a fun pairing, but he also sees the bout as competitive, enough to have him on the fence with his pick.
“I’m so excited. That’s a good show for us, a very good show for us,” Silva recently told Fight Hub TV. “I don’t know (who’s going to win). It’s very tough. Everybody thinks Jake is not training boxing, but Jake is training a lot. The people need to respect everything Jake is doing, because he’s very professional, and he’s very focused on his job. I respect him a lot, you know.”
