I probably won't bet this fight because I have no idea who will win. Anderson Silva is clearly the better and more established fighter, but he's old... Jake has age and likely supplements on his side, so for me this is a risky fight for Anderson Silva while also being one hell of a payday. I can see why he didn't want to turn this fight down. Win or lose I suspect it'll be the last time he enters the ring. Personally, I'd like to see Jake get knocked out and I'd hate to see Anderson Silva get knocked out, so I probably have too much emotion on the line to add money to it. I'll watch the fight though and hope for the best. Old man power better be on display.
I've seen multiple people claiming that Jake Paul is using steroids now. Is there any merit to that or is that just something people do when someone in the fighting business has some degree of success?
I can't remember who said it now, but they claimed that from his amateur fights to his first pro fight he put on a unimaginable amount of muscle. To me, he looked like he toned up more than put a massive amount of muscle on. He also cut his body fat percentage quite significantly which gives the impression of being bigger, due to the muscles bulging rather sitting under a layer of fat.
After his fights he pretty much goes back to his normal body weight, like a lot of professional fighters do. Going by face value, I imagine the claims are unsubstantiated.
i believe it stemmed to his beef with dana white. because paul is challenging white to take cocaine test. and white is challenging paul to take steroid test. as dana white is accusing paul of using steroids and can't sell PPVs.
