YouTube sensation Jake Paul has been under heavy fire from fans following his victory over former UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva. The fight was criticized by fans who claimed to have proof that the fight was indeed pre-determined with particular reference to the way Silva landed after getting caught.

However, former UFC fighter and renowned podcaster Brendan Schaub defended ‘The Problem Child’ and addressed these accusations. In an episode of the ‘Thicc Boy’ podcast, Schaub roped in 7-time Super Bowl winner Tom Brady and 4-time NBA champion LeBron James and compared them to Paul.

He stated that people could not fathom how Paul was able to beat Silva and that he was suffering from the problem of being too good, like Brady and James. He then added that this was the reason why many fans try to find ways to discredit Paul’s accomplishments.

“It’s a good show it was so good you think somebody else is writing it. Hell yeah dude, this is great this is fantastic so with Jake same thing. Exact same thing, same thing with Tom Brady right dude he is 44.”

“There’s no way he’s that good yeah he’s on steroids right? We want to cut the legs from other people because we could never comprehend that somebody could achieve these accomplishments. Oh my God, Tom Brady he’s on so much sh*t, LeBron did so much sh*t.” said Schaub.
