Despite being 47 years old, Anderson Silva was in good form heading into the fight. He had previously fought and beaten Tito Ortiz and Hugo Chavez Jr. Therefore, many people, including Dana White, considered Silva a real challenge for Paul. However, Paul came through on his words and has set his sights on the UFC president again.

Prior to the fight, Paul had claimed White of trying to sabotage the event. He reiterated his statements post-fight as well. “Dana, bro, you said I wouldn’t do this. And I did it. With flying colors. But you know, he’s in hiding. He’s trying to do everything he can to stop my run, to sabotage my fights.”
Dana White, however, stated before that he had no interest in Jake Paul or his fight against Anderson Silva. “I literally was saying the other day, everybody keeps asking me about Jake. This guy’s not even in my sport. I don’t care,” a frustrated White said.
