Israel Adesanya wants to see Jake Paul ‘shake up the world’ with a win over UFC legend and former middleweight champion Anderson Silva on Saturday in Arizona.
Having shared the cage with Silva, 47, in the past, New Zealand-based and Nigerian-born Adesanya believes 5-0 YouTube boxer Paul has what it takes to defeat ‘The Spider’ but warned that the latter is not to be overlooked despite his age.
Current UFC middleweight champ and UFC men’s pound-for-pound No. 2 Adesanya has been rooting for ‘The Problem Child’ since his knockout of ex-NBA star Nate Robinson in 2020 and wants to see him shock the world again on Saturday.
