'The Problem Child' is coming off the biggest win of his career as he defeated former UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva in an eight-round professional boxing match. Paul astonished the audience with his performance and defeated his Brazilian opponent via unanimous decision. His pro record now stands at 6-0.

Meanwhile, the Stockton native recently became a free agent after a 15-year long run in the UFC. Diaz took on Tony Ferguson in the last fight of his UFC contract, submitting him during the fourth round of the match. His pro-MMA record stands at 21 wins and 13 losses.

Ready for free agency, Nate Diaz says he has "higher goals, higher objectives" than fighting for UFC.

Israel Adesanya gives his opinion on the Jake Paul vs. Anderson Silva fight

'The Last Stylebender' gave his reaction to the recent professional boxing bout between YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul and UFC legend Anderson Silva.

In the latest edition of Adesanya's YouTube show, FREESTYLEBENDER, the reigning middleweight champ shared his admiration for 'The Spider'. Commenting on the boxing showdown at the Showtime pay-per-view this Saturday, Adesanya said:

"I love this game. To me though, even when I watch [Floyd] Mayweather on Instagram, seeing him hit the pads or hit the bag - the same thing with Silva, I'll always enjoy watching him move. I'll always enjoy even just that. I've always enjoyed when he starts to move. I feel nostalgic right now."

The middleweight champ added:

"This is what Anderson does, he hasn't attacked yet. He's just reading. Classic Silva... Now he's starting to move. This is classic, bro. I love this guy... You gotta appreciate a master at work, man."
