After his planned fights for August were scrapped, Jake Paul quickly set his sights on returning to the ring in October. That return finally happens on October 29, as he steps in between the ropes to fight Anderson \u2018The Spider\u2019 Silva. The fight with the UFC legend is a bit different from the other MMA fighters he\u2019s fought in the boxing ring, seeing as Silva has got a fair bit of boxing experience under his belt and is a renowned striker. After wrapping up his review of UFC 280, Andrew Schulz touched on the fight during his October 25 episode of the Flagrant Podcast, suggesting Jake is going into it on the back foot. Andrew Schulz says Jake Paul is \u201cunderdog\u201d against Anderson Silva \u201cI think Jake can pull it off, I know it sounds crazy but I think Jake can pull it off,\u201d Schulz said. Though, his co-host Akaash noted the YouTuber might have some serious ring rust after last fighting almost a year ago. \u201cJake might have gotten better in the last year but that was like a year ago,\u201d he replied. \u201cAnd Woodley got some licks in. (Anderson) is a much better boxer and that\u2019s where I\u2019d like to see Jake win, but I don\u2019t know.\u201d Schulz noted that Anderson is a better striker than Woodley and has more experience under his belt, which makes Jake a bit of an \u201cunderdog\u201d for the fight. \u201cIt\u2019s so tricky. Every time you go Jake is not going to do it, he does and at a certain point in time you\u2019ve got to roll with him,\u201d he added. Timestamp of 1:33:18 The Flagrant podcast host stated that he is excited for the bout and hopes it does well from a pay-per-view perspective, especially as plenty of MMA fans are curious about what Anderson does. Some bookmakers have got Jake as a slight underdog, which backs up Schulz\u2019s take but at the end of the day, it only takes one punch.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Andrew Schulz explains why Jake Paul is \u201cunderdog\u201d in Anderson Silva fight YouTube: Flagrant\/Jake PaulAndrew Schulz believes Jake Paul is the \u201cunderdog\u201d for his fight with Anderson Silva, but isn\u2019t putting it past the YouTuber to pull off an upset.
