Jake Paul, who defeated Anderson Silva, has challenged UFC president Dana White to “suck his d***” after proving him wrong. After eight intense rounds on Saturday night, YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul, 25, defeated UFC legend Silva by majority decision to extend his unbeaten streak to six professional fights. After making his professional debut two and a half years ago, the victory was undoubtedly Paul’s greatest performance to date, as the judges in Arizona gave him victories by scores of 77-74, 78-73, and 78-73.

With the victory, White was forced to retract his previous prediction that Paul wouldn’t face Silva in the UFC. “I f*****g guarantee you this, you ain’t gonna see Jake Paul calling Anderson Silva out,” White said. “That I f*****g promise you. He’s Jake’s size and he’s actually good. But he is old which is what Jake likes, to fight old guys who are too small and that are absolutely positively washed up.”

In response to White’s remarks following his most recent victory, Paul made fun of the UFC president by saying: “Dana? Dana? Dana? You said I wouldn’t do this, and I did it, with flying colours. He’s in hiding. He’s trying to do everything he can to stop my run, to sabotage my fights. He hates me. He hates what I’m doing. He hates that I’m exposing his business, and now we’re gonna band together and create a united fighters’ association to help UFC fighters, all MMA fighters and boxers to get more fighter pay, long-term health care.”

Jake Paul is now 6-0

At Gila River Arena in Glendale, Arizona, Paul defeated UFC icon Anderson Silva by majority decision in an eight-round boxing match. Paul now has a professional record of 6-0, with his victory on Saturday perhaps being his best. For the majority of Round 1, Silva took a backseat and let Paul to assault, although subtly. In Round 2, Silva started to engage in some mind tricks and strong jabs. Though unfazed, Paul continued to use his powerful stroke throughout the round.

With almost 80 blows exchanged between the two competitors in round three, it was a spectacle. With the round, Silva’s face was also covered in blood. Unofficial score after four rounds showed Paul leading 39-37, although each round was as likely to go either way.

Paul projected a fifth-round knockout, but Silva had his finest round of the evening with a ton of strikes in that round. Both boxers engaged in a street brawl at the finish of the sixth round, slugging it out along the ropes for the last 20 seconds while the spectators stood up. Through seven, the unofficial score was 68-65 Paul, forcing Silva to play as aggressively as he had all night. However, Paul was able to bring him down. Silva promptly stood up, but no matter what he did for the remainder of the round, it was insufficient.
