Jake Paul said Anderson Silva 's demeanour changed after their press conference when the pair faced off for the first time.
Paul, 25, looks for his sixth professional win on October 29 when he challenges UFC legend, Silva, over eight rounds at the Gila River Arena in Phoenix. The pair came face-to-face ahead of their fight at a press conference earlier this week and Paul said he was taken back by how serious Silva was during their staredown having been jovial during whilst answering questions onstage.
"All the fun of it aside, when we got into the face-off you see a different Anderson Silva than the one who is there up onstage having a jolly time." he told ESPN. "That's 'The Spider' Anderson that I saw in that face-off and you can tell he's got that killer in him, 100 per cent. It was weird but it felt right, it was felt like this was destined to happen. It was a surreal moment for sure, I never thought I'd be here and I'd be fighting one of my idols."
