Jake Paul was impressed as Anderson Silva returned to the boxing ring for the first time in since 2005.

‘The Spider’ impressively beat former world champion, Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. over eight rounds in Guadalajara, Mexico last night.

Post-fight, Paul took to social media to congratulate Silva on his win and propose he fights Roy Jones Jr. on the undercard of the YouTuber’s fight with Tyron Woodley which is set for August 28.

“Respect to Anderson Silva @spideranderson on the win….vc é uma lenda brasileira! Would be an honor to have him vs Roy Jones Jr on the same card as Tyron and I,” Paul wrote.

A fight between the MMA legend and Jones Jr. has been talked about for more than a decade. Now, Silva is a free agent after being released by the UFC last year and the fight is possible.

In the build-up to his fight with Chavez Jr., Silva hinted that a fight between him and Jones Jr. was closer than ever.

“Yeah, absolutely, because I talked about fighting Mr. Roy Jones Jr. for many, many years ago when I started fighting in the UFC,” Silva said. “I think now is coming closer to this reality, and let’s go see. My focus is just for this fight now, and then let’s go see in the future.”

The question is will Silva and Jones be interested in rushing into a fight on the undercard of an internet celebrity? Probably not.

Paul, despite earning three knockout wins during his professional boxing career is yet to earn the respect of true fight fans. He could move one step closer to doing that if he takes out Tyron Woodley later this summer. The former UFC welterweight champion is the first opponent Paul has faced who actually has a reputation for knocking people out.

“First of all, boxing is an amazing sport,” Silva said. “I love boxing, and I practice boxing for a long time – not professionally, but I try to do my best. I continue training, and I continue challenging myself. This opportunity to fight Chavez Jr. is not about proving (anything) to anyone, it’s just to challenge myself.

Mike Tyson may have returned to the ring for the first time since 2005, but that didn’t stop him from getting high right before making the walk.

Tyson fought Roy Jones Jr. to a draw in their eight-round exhibition boxing match headliner last night in a fight that exceeded expectations for many.

Tyson, in particular, was impressive as he didn’t tire to the level of Jones and showed impressive head movement and technical ability even at the age of 54. That was despite “Iron Mike” revealing he smoked marijuana right before the fight.

“Absolutely, yes,” he said in the post-fight press conference (via MMA Junkie).

In fact, Tyson smoked right after the fight as well before speaking to the media.

“Listen, I can’t stop smoking,” he added. “I smoked during fights. I just have to smoke. I’m sorry. I’m a smoker. … I smoke every day. I never stopped smoking.”

This shouldn’t come as a surprise to most, however.

Tyson has been smoking marijuana for years and notably owns a successful cannabis company named Tyson Ranch. Not to mention, his podcast “Hotboxin’ with Mike Tyson” involves him chatting with guests in a studio full of smoke.

“It’s just who I am,” he said. “It has no effect on me from a negative standpoint. It’s just what I do and how I am and how I’m going to die. There’s no explanation. There’s no beginning. There’s no end.”

That said, marijuana doesn’t help him numb any pain he received at the hands of Jones.

“No, it just numbs me,” he added. “It doesn’t numb the pain.”
