Nate Diaz, Jake Paul and Ariel Helwani stirring up ****. We are watching three geniuses at work.

Competitive bout but they both actually looked worse than I was expecting. Silva's age really showed, and Paul's style is steroids and cocaine. As long as he keeps picking matchups wisely he'll have success. Gotta give them both credit though, it was a legitimate contest and that's really all I wanted to see.

People forget how finished Silva was when he left the UFC just because of one nice boxing win. It was an appropriate step up for Paul though, competitive but still a win.

Can't believe it.

Sure, I thought it was possible for Jake to KO him. He's a big strong guy. But he out boxed Anderson for 6 of 8 rounds.

It was pretty frustrating to watch as an Anderson fan. When he was aggressive, Jake didn't really know what to do but cover up. It's when he let Jake get comfortable and then setup some combinations of his own when he got in trouble. Don't know if it was fatigue/age for Anderson or what.

At least Nate will get a big pay day now.

There is zero chance the Nate antics with Paul's team weren't pre-planned. Him, Paul and Ariel are all in this together.

Really not sure why you were so surprised here?

Silva had been getting tired in his last handful of ufc fights as well.

I think Paul probably knocks out Nate.

Silva clearly was the more skilled boxer but he also was taking entire rounds off. It looked to me like he emptied the tank heavily in round 5 and had an awesome round, did OK in round 6 but then had nothing left for 7 and 8. He's 47 years old. If this fight was 4 rounds he would have won easily.

I think Nate is going to rock Jake Paul's world.

Cyborg looks like she’s had some work done

Natty or not?

I don't see Nate beating Jake, Jake's just too big

Unfortunately, I think he might lose too. He’s pushing 40 and will be outweighed by 20+ lbs against Paul.

When I was watching livish we all thought Silva won more rounds. But the sound was off and I'm out $10 bucks either way.

Thought Silva did the better pure boxing tbh, Jake threw a lot and missed a ton and seemingly got credit for it. Kudos on the knockdown tho, that’s a feather in Jake Paul’s cap

Commentators and ref were f***in terrible, C-league stuff

Krause had a good breakdown of the Jacoby robbery

Agreed, size difference will be significant and Nate has never had 1 punch KO power. He occasionally catches someone with MMA gloves on but I feel like he will lose this fight. Nate should push for 12 rounds if he’s not going to bulk up
