UFC bantamweight champion Aljamain Sterling admits he was "blown away" by Jake Paul 's performance in his win against Anderson Silva.
Paul, 25, extended his unbeaten record to six professional fights win this past weekend by winning a unanimous decision against 47-year-old Silva. The YouTuber-turned-boxer has continued to up his level of competition since making his pro debut, arguably having his best performance against his toughest opponent to date in Silva.
Sterling, who defended his title earlier this month against TJ Dillashaw at UFC 280, posted a video of Paul landing a three-punch combination on Silva during their fight with the caption: "I’m actually blown away by Jake Paul's performance against a GOAT of MMA. Despite the age difference, Jake showed that he can legit box. Fun boxing scrap. Silva can still heat as well!"
