Jake Paul and Anderson Silva made an interesting bet on the fight in Arizona.
Jake Paul has the advantage over Anderson Silva in their main event on Saturday, October 29th, at least according to the bookmakers. The odds are in Paul’s favor, despite Silva having more than one lead in the tape story.
Paul is looking to take his boxing record to 6-0 by winning again at the expense of another former UFC entrant. Silva’s status as an octagon legend will likely make this the toughest fight for YouTube star Paul.

According to OddsChecker’s Colby Faria, Paul is -150 to win and Silva is +145 to raise. Those who are particularly confident in Paul’s chances can get a +2300 odds on Problem Child defeating Silva in the second round.
Anyone who takes such odds will have a firm belief in the power of Paul’s one punch. It’s the same power that helped the 25-year-old knock out former UFC fighter Tyron Woodley in his last fight in December 2021.
Perhaps the strongest evidence of Paul’s confidence is that I bet he and Silva agreed. If Paul loses, he will have to face The Spider in a kickboxing match, but Silva’s loss will result in the creation of an organization dedicated to providing “higher pay and better medical care” to those who compete in the UFC:
Jake Paul and Anderson Silva agree on a pre-fight bet on Saturday night. If Silva wins, Jake will have a kickboxing rematch with him. If Jake wins, Silva joins him to form an association to help UFC fighters get better pay and medical care…

Being thrown into a kickboxing match with an award-winning mixed martial artist like Silva would be a real situation for Paul. It can still come to this, based on the advantages of Silva.
Those advantages include a two-inch reach advantage and Silva being one inch taller than his opponent, according to The Sportsman’s Kieran Spratt. Throw in a subtle southpaw thrust and Silva has what he needs to keep Paul at bay and avoid the force of his knockout punches.
Silva will also be able to use his great combat experience to conserve his energy and pull Paul into unfavorable situations.
Speaking of unfavorable situations, Silva could be in one of them after rumors surfaced that he was knocked out twice during a recent sparring session. Despite the fact that Silva released a statement in which he tried to explain that he was simply knocked down, Mark Raimondi of ESPN Ringside reported that the Arizona Boxing and MMA Commission is reviewing the status of the Brazilian:
If Silva clears things up, he’ll be in a strong position to make his height, reach and experience matter and get Paul thinking about kickboxing.
