Logan Paul explains why he can\u2019t believe Anderson Silva actually wants to fight him Instagram: Logan Paul \/ Anderson SilvaLogan Paul was a massive fan of UFC legend Anderson Silva growing up, and he explained how he can\u2019t believe the fighter he always looked up to has now made it his \u201cgoal\u201d to fight him. Logan has been basking in glory after holding his ground against Floyd Mayweather and showing the world that he\u2019s no slouch in the ring. He wasn\u2019t happy with his performance. However, it earned him praise from many others, including Mike Tyson. Since then, he\u2019s been linked to several other possible fights. At one stage, it looked like a re-match against Olajide Olayinka Williams \u2018KSI\u2019 Olatunji was on the cards, while others believed he was going to take on Mike Tyson. However, the rumor that gained the most traction was that he\u2019d go toe to toe against Silva in a boxing match. And it solidified even further when MMA fighter Dillon Danis leaked a message that claimed a \u201chuge event\u201d between them is going down in September. Silva recently said in an interview that taking on Logan was his next goal, and Logan explained why it feels surreal. \u201cThe first celebrity I ever met and got a picture with was Anderson Silva. He was so famous, and I was so excited,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019m watching this interview, and I\u2019m like, how the f**k is it Anderson Silva\u2019s goal to fight me?\u201d the maverick star added. \u201cGrowing up, I wanted to be Anderson Silva. I was like, oh my god, that guy is so badass. I want to fight like him and be famous like him, and now his goal is to fight me?\u201d Logan isn\u2019t the only one to be shocked by the possibility of them fighting. However, the world never expected him to step into the ring against Mayweather either. His performance in that fight was impressive given the disparity in their experience. But will he be able to do it again against someone who better matches his height and weight like Silva? There\u2019s only one way to find out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
