Chris Weidman, UFC legend, wants Jake Paul to fight Anderson Silva, Brazilian MMA icon.
Paul believes that Paul is wasting time calling out Nate Diaz, Jorge Masvidal and other UFC fighters for fights.
Jake Paul was told by TAG1 to stop wasting time with UFC fighters.
Weidman thinks Silva would be a better choice, as Silva was released last year by Dana White.
Weidman stated that Anderson Silva would be a great opponent for him.
"He is calling out all the fighters with UFC contracts. He's not really - none are going to happen at the moment.
"The UFC would need to support it almost as a Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor match.
"But, unless you're drawing $500 million like Conor McGregor and Mayweather fights were doing. The UFC isn't doing that because it wants to split it.
They would split it but if it isn't that amount of money they won't do it. We are wasting our time just talking about (Nate), (Jorge), Masvidal, and (Kamaru] Usman.
In the last few weeks, Paul and Masvidal have had an angry exchange.
Paul offered Gamebred his help by appearing on Logan's podcast Impaulsive.
Paul stated that Masvidal was like "I only fight the most talented people or I fight to make money. And you're neither of those."
"Masvidal! I have an offer for right now: $5m Guarantee, plus a percentage of Pay-Per-Views.
"That's the highest you have ever won in a fight. Now you don't have to say "I fight the best or I fight for money."
Let's make it happen.
Masvidal turned down the offer and told his foe that he would place him in a wheelchair.
He posted on social media, "The UFC won't let me go for the chump change."
"Make it 20 guaranteed plus PPV, and I'm sure that the UFC will be okay with it so long as they pay their fees and then I'll happily break your face.
"If the UFC says no, because the money is still too high, then go over to them and sign a one-fight agreement. We can agree that I can only box in the cage.
"If I do something else than that, I will forfeit all my money to you." Get paid and laid out.
