Jake Paul vs Anderson Silva live stream details and how to watch

Jake Paul returns to the ring for the first time in ten months against Anderson Silva at the Gila River Arena in Glendale, Arizona.

After winning his first five professional outings, The Problem Child now takes on his toughest test to date. Silva (3-1 boxing, 34-11 MMA) is a vastly experienced combat sports athlete.

The Brazilian is a former long-reigning UFC middleweight champion and holds the record for the longest title reign in the promotion’s history (2,457 days). However, now 47 and ten years removed from his prime Silva comes in as a slight underdog with his best years very much behind him.

Quotes

Jake Paul: “For sure I have more pressure on my shoulders. Just being the ‘A’ side, and the amount of s*** I talk I think the entire MMA community is waiting for me to lose. They want me to lose. I just have so many more big ideas and plans in this sport and I just plan on being here forever. This is the start of that, and the pressure is on.

“I’m the young guy and he’s really, really good and has more experience. He has the weight, the height, the reach, so all the odds are stacked against me. He’s very fast, very technical, very rangy, good defense, good movement. I’ll have to be perfect on Saturday night. I know I’m capable of doing that but I’m ready for war. Skill aside, it might come down to who wants it more and I believe that’s me.

Anderson Silva: “When you fight in combat sports you have to be a little crazy. I’m a little crazy, too. This is not for everyone. Everyone here are special guys and for sure everyone here is a little crazy.

“This is a competition and I’m training hard to make a great show for everyone. This fight is very special to me. I try to do my best because I love fighting and I love my job and now I’m free to do everything I like to do.”
