Rohini, in her role as a UFC writer, combines her admiration for the mental resilience that MMA fighters have and her love for analysis. She has been following UFC since 2020 and very often contemplates the psyche of fighters while they are in action and wonders what kind of mental preparation goes into it. This is reflected in her copies about the sport. Ironically, being a Nate Diaz fan, she can't watch a ton of blood being spilt in the octagon.

October 2022 has been a fantastic month for the sport of boxing. There have been several interesting fights this month, and the only anticipated clash remaining before the month ends is – Jake Paul vs. Anderson Silva. However, before the two bring hell on each other inside the squared circle, they were seen grooving together in their boxing gear. The video showed Jake Paul [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/jake-paul/] and Anderson Silva [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/anderson-silva/] dancing off to a Michael Jackson song, which seems like a promotional activity. The American Youtuber turned boxer was seen in black shoes, black boxing gloves, and black shorts. While the Brazilian was also in the same attire, but he was clad in all white. DIVE DEEPER: ‘Fighting a 50 Year Old Man Isn’t a Risk’: Fans at Crossroads Over Latest Jake Paul Training Clip Ahead of Anderson Silva Fight [https://www.essentiallysports.com/boxing-ufc-mma-news-fighting-a-50-year-old-man-isnt-a-risk-fans-at-crossroads-over-latest-jake-paul-training-clip-ahead-of-anderson-silva-fight/] Meanwhile, just a couple of days are remaining for their battle to happen. The Ohio native has been trolled before for not facing a ‘real fighter’ inside the ring yet. But now he will go against the toughest opponent of his career, who is also one of the most legendary fighters in the UFC. JAKE PAUL OFFERS ADVICE TO BOXING FANS BEFORE HIS FIGHT WITH ANDERSON SILVA The Brazilian fighter is a seasoned athlete and has much more experience as compared to Paul. However, he is 47 years old, which might become a problem for him to defeat an agile and young Paul. Fans are divided into two about who will win this fight, and there has been a powerful buzz online ahead of their clash on October 29th. ‘The Problem Child’ was in conversation with TMZ [https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.tmz.com/2022/10/23/jake-paul-warns-bettors-anderson-silva-fight/], where he had a piece of advice for boxing bettors. He said, “You shouldn’t have done it. You should’ve invested into something else. I’m knocking this guy out, I’m promising everyone that.” He further added, ”Come back to this interview, everyone, after the fight, and they’ll say, ‘Wow, he predicted the future,’I have a crystal ball in my room, and I can see it. And everyone who bet on me? Good stuff, man. You’re gonna have some dough, maybe a new car, maybe your rent paid.” In the interim, what do you think about Paul and Silva’s new dance video?
