Jake Paul has called out Anderson Silva after the former UFC champion put in a dominant display Bruno Machado in Abu Dhabi tonight.
Paul has been working towards a return to the ring on August 13, and listed Silva among his possible opponents, depending on how he performed tonight against Machado. And after his exhibition fight concluded, the YouTuber appears to have played up a future meeting.
There is undoubted respect between Paul and Silva, with the YouTube star's brother even admitting that the legendary ex-UFC star was the first celebrity that the pair met as kids. And at 6'2" with a record now of 4-1 in the boxing ring, he could pose the perfect challenge for 5-0 Paul.
