On October 29, former UFC fighter Anderson Silva and YouTuber turned-boxer Jake Paul are scheduled to square off inside the ring. Since Paul will be facing the toughest opponent of his career thus far, fans have been anticipating this battle with great interest. Many people who follow combat sports and who have made predictions about this matchup think that the seasoned UFC legend would easily defeat Paul. But the erstwhile rival of the latter has something to say about that.

Jake Paul fought Tyron Woodley twice inside the squared circle in 2021, and the former emerged as the winner both times. Recently, Woodley appeared on ‘The Fighter vs. The Writer’ podcast, where he warned Anderson Silva about Paul’s boxing skills. 

Woodley stated, “He’s training his a*s off. He’s got KO power, and he’s learned to throw that particular punch that he’s got timing on… I hear people saying ‘now [Jake Paul] fighting a real fighter.’ That s*it right there is funny. I think it’s a good fight. I’ll probably be there.”

Following Woodley’s remarks about Paul’s KO power, the UFC world has been trolling him for his comments. Take a look at some of the best reactions. 

One of the fans wrote, “I don’t think the Spider needs any advice from Tyrone.” 

Another fan had some harsh words for Woodley, and he said, “Woodley should just keep himself on the sidelines and keep his opinion to himself. Woodley was never even close to the fighter Silva was.”
