Here’s how the fans reacted to Masvidal’s post

• Why all UFC legends selling their body
  Looks like UFC didnt paid them well !
• Get knocked out the third time he’ll wake up a millionaire. He is fine all he needs is to take a shot and be on Jake Paul’s highlight reel.
• He’s training to take the fall, it was planned
• He is practicing taking a dive for a few mill!
• Because his trainer is most likely a better boxer than Jake Paul, he should definitely have a brain scan after being slept twice by sparring partner
• Massive pay day for silva, take a dive and the money and ride off into the sunset
• I respect the shit out of Anderson. That being said, I hope he doesn’t go through with this fight. If Jake was a real man, he’d call it off himself.
• Masvidal should step in. Jake won’t accept that I bet
• It’s like fighting his dad !! SILVA at 25 will SMASH him
• Anderson is 47 and has had his bell rung many times over the years.
  In his prime he was as good as it gets. I hate to see him chasing a dream that can’t come true
• The spider won’t win anyway
• Bad training partner
