Joe Rogan blasts claims Jake Paul vs Anderson Silva was \u201cfixed\u201d Spotify: Joe Rogan\/YouTube: ShowTime SportsJoe Rogan has debunked claims that Jake Paul\u2019s win over Anderson Silva was \u201cfixed\u201d and explained exactly how the YouTuber managed to knockdown the MMA legend. At the end of October, Jake Paul finally made his return to the boxing ring, stepping inside the ropes to face off against UFC icon Anderson \u2018The Spider\u2019 Silva. While he didn\u2019t score a knockout victory like in his previous fights, the \u2018Problem Child\u2019 did manage to defeat Silva via the judge\u2019s scorecards, and even produced a late knockdown of the Brazilian fighter. As they have done with his previous fighters, some critics called the validity of the result into question, with many suggesting it was \u201crigged\u201d and that Silva took a dive instead of actually being knocked. Joe Rogan backs \u201clegit\u201d Jake Paul win over Anderson Silva Jake has already fired back at those claims, but he\u2019s now gotten the support of Joe Rogan, who gave a blow-by-blow breakdown of the knockdown during his November 2 episode of the JRE Podcast. \u201cWe should point something out because people are trying to say that fight was fixed because of the knockdown. There\u2019s a video where people are questioning (it), I just want to explain to people that this is what happened,\u201d Rogan stated when touching on Jake\u2019s fight. \u201cAnderson moved forward to Jake Paul and Jake hit him with sort of a stepping jab. He caught him right on the chin. And when he caught him on the chin, Anderson was falling backwards and then he leans away from the right hand and he goes down. He was down from the punch, it looks like the right-hand doesn\u2019t connect but the left hand is what f**ked him up. That dude hits f**king hard.\u201d The UFC commentator further added that the knockdown was \u201clegit as f**k\u201d and anyone questioning it was \u201ccrazy\u201d because Jake actually has power and is improving as a boxer. \u201cDude, he can fight. He can fight. Is he the best in the world? No, but is he getting better with every fight? Yes,\u201d Rogan added. It\u2019s not the first time Rogan has been impressed with Jake\u2019s showing in the ring, and it probably won\u2019t be the last either.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
