Jake Paul Reveals ‘Eight Legged Arachnid Killer’ Outfit Before Anderson Silva Fight Presser

Jake Paul is ready to face former UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva in possibly the biggest fight of his young boxing career. The Youtuber turned boxer will face the MMA legend in his 6th professional fight set to take place on October 29th in Arizona.

The Problem Child considers Silva to be one of his idols and had high praise for the champion. Moreover, In a video, Paul stated that the former UFC champ was an icon and one of the best strikers in the sport of MMA. “I’m fighting not only one of my idols but one of the greatest strikers in combat sports history Anderson ‘The Spider’ Silva.” said Paul.

However, he then warned Silva to watch out for him and insinuated that he was a ‘spider exterminator’. ” Yes, his nickname is Spider and on October 29th I will exterminate the spider. Jake Paul Spider exterminator, I’m the eight-legged arachnid killer. Watch out for me because Anderson Silva’s the spider.” He added.

Following this, Paul also revealed his outfit for the pre-fight press conference hilariously trolling Silva in the process. The Ohio-based boxer sported an outfit very similar to a hazmat suit and a chemical tank. This was aimed at taking shots at The Spider, with Paul being the spider exterminator.

Joe Rogan weighs in on Jake Paul vs Anderson Silva

UFC commentator and JRE host Joe Rogan recently shared his opinion on the match-up. However, this was during the time the fight was not confirmed and was purely speculative. In his podcast, Rogan stated that it would be Paul’s toughest challenge if the fight ever materialized and that Silva is an elite talent capable in all forms of martial arts. “If Jake Paul really decides to fight Anderson, that’s a very, very, very tough fight. Anderson, if he just went straight into boxing, would have been a f*cking world champion.”

It looks like Rogan’s wish has finally come true. The Problem Child already has a great track record with MMA fighters with wins over former UFC champion Tyron Woodley and Ben Askren. However, Silva is a pure striker and not a wrestler like Woodley or Askren, who could pose a threat. The only thing Paul has an advantage in would be his age. He is more than 20 years younger than Sliva.
