Older, shorter, smaller, past their prime legends that have spent their entire career running their bodies into f****** car accidents, and we hold these guys near and dear to our hearts. And then this f***head pulls them out of semi-retirement and knocks them out on pay-per-view and then still s***s on all of us? Go f*** yourself. Like, why are we still pandering to this piece of s***?

Jake Paul defeated Anderson Silva by unanimous decision of the judges in a boxing bout on Oct. 30. It's the sixth win for the blogger in professional boxing. Silva became the third former UFC fighter to lose to a blogger. Ben Askren was the first, and then Tyron Woodley suffered the same fate twice.

Silva, 47, defeated Julio César Chávez Jr. in the summer of 2021 by split decision. In September of that year he defeated Tito Ortiz by knockout.
