Jake Paul slams Dana White for saying he would \u201cnever\u201d fight Anderson Silva Twitter; Jake Paul, Most Valuable Promotions \/ YouTube: GQ SportsYouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul is hitting out at UFC President Dana White for previously claiming he would \u201cnever\u201d take a fight with Anderson Silva \u2014 a bout that\u2019s coming to fruition in mere weeks. Jake Paul is set to take on his biggest opponent yet on October 29: Brazilian MMA legend Anderson Silva. After issues with two different opponents for his failed August 6 bout, Paul has scored a bigger and better fight than his previous rivals in Tommy Fury and Hasim Rahman Jr., but not everyone was convinced it would actually happen. Although Silva had expressed interest in taking on the Paul bros in the past, and vice versa, UFC prez Dana White was simply not willing to entertain the idea of such a fight actually taking place. Jake Paul slams naysayers over Anderson Silva boxing match Jake Paul uploaded a video showcasing White\u2019s previous comments on the then-potential bout in a September 6 tweet, where he lashed out at the combat sports businessman for his past remarks. \u201cAnderson Silva might actually be the GOAT of combat sports,\u201d Dana White said of the fighter. \u201cTo still compete, it\u2019ll be interesting to see what he does next.\u201d \u201cI f**kin\u2019 guarantee you this: You ain\u2019t gonna see Jake Paul calling Anderson Silva out. That I f**king promise you. He\u2019s his size, and he\u2019s actually good. \u2026Hey Jake, Anderson\u2019s out. Jake? Jake?\u201d \u201cDana? Dana? Dana? Guess who!\u201d the YouTuber shot back. \u201cNow, I normally don\u2019t agree with Dana White, but he is right. Anderson Silva is literally the greatest MMA fighter of all time, and one of the most versatile fighters in the history of combat sports.\u201d \u201cFor me, this fight was supposed to be after Tommy Fury, because I\u2019ve never fought a Southpaw, and this is a much tougher fight. Every fight critic said that I wouldn\u2019t take this fight, and if I did, I would lose to Silva. But it\u2019s time to dive into the deep end, put it all on the line, and give the people what they want.\u201d Paul continued his comments in a second video, where he remained confident that he\u2019d be the victor of their upcoming bout\u2026 a fight that comes right in the middle of talks with KSI for a match sometime next year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
