Jake Paul may not be interested in boxing Anderson Silva after the MMA great beat Julio Cesar Chavez Jr., but he did offer up a more interesting possibility.

Anderson Silva did what many thought was impossible on Saturday night by beating Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.

And not only did he beat the former boxing world champion, many think the judge who scored the fight for Chavez Jr.

Now all of a sudden MMA has what it apparently needs in this age where celebrity boxers are gaining clout by clubbing our converts: a UFC GOAT who can bring it in the ring (watch the highlights from the Chavez Jr. fight here).

Jake Paul is going to fight Tyron Woodley in the fall?

Would Anderson Silva be interested in battling either one of them.

“Respect to Anderson Silva on the win,” Paul wrote on Twitter.

Even when Silva was just going through the motions at the end of his MMA career, UFC president Dana White refused to contemplate allowing it.

“Anderson Silva had his day,” White said after Silva’s final UFC fight.

the UFC is no place for ‘the old guy stuff.’ But there’s certainly nothing wrong with Anderson Silva fulfilling his dream of boxing Roy Jones Jr
