Paul has three next possible fight options after beating Silva

Jake Paul defeated former UFC middleweight champion, Anderson Silva, via unanimous decision on Saturday. After overcoming adversity in the early portions of the fight, Paul finished strong, dropping Silva en route to victory with scorecards of 77-74,78-73, and 78-73.After the fight, he took to the mic and called out MMA legend Nate Diaz and undisputed super-middleweight champion Canelo Alvarez. “I want Nate Diaz whose a b****. He tried to come into my locker room, he tried to cause some s*** and he always leaves the arena. So, Nate Diaz stop being a b**** and fight me – and Canelo you too,’ said Paul.”You too, Canelo. You guys said ‘oh, you can’t beat a striker, you can’t beat a legend like Anderson Silva’. I just did it so why can’t I beat Canelo? F*** y’all.”Here, Express Sport, ponders that very question with three possible next fights for The Problem Child.

Everyone wants that fight, he was trying to fight people in the hallway.’Nate, stop fighting people for free, let’s do it in the ring.

He likes to act tough, and he is really not.
