GLENDALE, Ariz – Anderson Silva got one last look at Jake Paul before fight night.
The former UFC middleweight champion faced off one last time with Paul in a very intense staredown hosted by Georges St-Pierre at Friday’s ceremonial weigh-ins at the Desert Diamond Arena.
You can watch the staredown in the video above.
Paul is undefeated in his professional boxing career with a record of 5-0. He last competed in December 2021, when he knocked out former UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley in a rematch. Prior to that, Paul had defeated Woodley in a split decision in August of that same year.
Paul was supposed to compete earlier this year against boxers Tommy Fury and Hasim Rahman Jr. However, both bouts were canceled for various reasons.
Paul holds wins over former UFC fighters Woodley and Ben Askren, as well as former NBA standout Nate Robinson and YouTuber Ali Enson Gib.
The 47-year-old Silva has re-invented his fighting through boxing, as he’s looked sharp since UFC departure in 2020. The former UFC middleweight champion won a split decision over former boxing title holder Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. in summer of 2021, then knocked out Tito Ortiz in September of that same year, and fought Bruno Machado to a no contest in May as part of an exhibition bout.
