Twitter reacts to Jake Paul vs. Anderson Silva.
Jake Paul and Anderson Silva collided Saturday night, with Silva wanting to follow in the footsteps of his MMA brethren. On the same card that saw Silva lose to Paul, fans saw fellow MMA fighters Chris Avila and Uriah Hall get wins. Silva could not follow suit, losing to Paul.

Lost all respect for Jake Paul today. He beat a 47 year old and is trying to brainwash everyone. Disrespectful #paulvssilva

I thought this fight was a lose-lose for Jake. Either beat a 47 year old man or get beat by a 47 year old man.
I was wrong. It’s worse.
He BARELY beats a 47 year old man#paulvssilva

Anderson Silva,as I said before,is far too irresponsible on the resets and it lost him the fight. All this fight does is further prove that Jake Paul doesn’t stand a chance against most any actual boxer. We knew that,though. Groundhog Day. #paulvssilva

Can’t believe I have to like Jake Paul. Spida really gave him a run for his money til Father Time kicked in at the end rounds. Still, great fight. I was entertained…for free of course! 😂 #paulvssilva #showtimeboxing
