Anderson Silva shocked the world as he beat Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. in their boxing match via split decision. This left an impression on Jake Paul as he showed his respect for the former UFC middleweight champion.
Paul took to Twitter to congratulate Silva on his win and revealed that he would love to have him fight on the undercard of his August 28 bout against another former UFC champion, Tyron Woodley. Jake Paul proposed a possible match against Roy Jones Jr. for Silva, and it would certainly be an amazing fight if it happens.

Anderson Silva beats Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. after a vintage display
Silva's eight-round display of volume striking was a performance that made his fans reminisce about the Anderson Silva of yore. Before his bad run of form in his final UFC fights, Silva was on a sixteen-fight winning streak and was known as the best striker MMA had ever seen.
He still holds that tag as he proves how good he is on his feet. He didn't just punch and jab his way through the fight; he also had time for some showboating, making the fans go crazy. It was one of the most legendary displays of his career.
