Anderson Silva wants second Jake Paul fight but with exhibition rule change

UFC legend Anderson Silva would be willing to stage a rematch with Jake Paul providing it is a kickboxing exhibition.

Silva will take to the squared circle in his latest outing against YouTube star Paul in Phoenix on October 29. The Brazilian has made a huge impression in the boxing ring having picked up victories against both former world champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr and Bruno Machado.

His latest stint in fighting has seen him viewed as a threat to Paul's undefeated streak, having retired from his hugely successful career in the UFC which sees him ranked as one of the greatest fighters ever. And although he will not be able to use any of his MMA skills in this bout, Silva believes he can win in the boxing ring.
