Jake Paul's ferocious right-handed punch caught Anderson Silva flush in the face, sending the UFC legend staggering last night.
GLENDALE, Ariz. — Jake Paul's ferocious right-handed punch caught Anderson Silva flush in the face, sending the UFC legend staggering to the canvas on Saturday night.
“It’s surreal," Paul said. “I don't think it'll hit me until a couple weeks from now. I feel like I'm living in a movie. was the one that told me I could accomplish anything if I set my mind to it. You couldn't have written this in a story." Paul held his own during the middle rounds — with blood coming from Silva's nose — but couldn't land most of his powerful swings. That started to change in the later rounds as the younger Paul gained confidence and the punches started connecting.“He took so many hard shots throughout the whole fight,” Paul said. “The dude is a real dog. You see what happens to everyone else that gets hit with that. He’s the toughest guy in the world but I just wanted it more.
“That’s the game,” Silva said. “Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. But nothing will change in my life. I’ll continue training hard because I’m born for this.”
