Jake Paul knocked down MMA legend Anderson Silva in the final round of his UD victory on Saturday night.
Paul headed into his bout with Silva knowing that he was to face the sternest test of his professional boxing career to date.
Granted, Silva is 47-years-old and past his best, but he still possesses a skillset like nobody that Paul had faced in the ring prior.
Silva gave him a good run for his money, taking Paul all eight rounds of the contest and ending his streak of having knocked out every opponent he’s faced.
Paul did, however, send Silva to the canvas in the final round, adding the cherry on top of what was a seriously impressive performance from the YouTuber.
It’s no secret that Paul has some serious power in that right hand of it, with Silva falling onto his backside after being caught by it…
