The Arizona State Athletic Commission gave the green light to the fight Jake Paul against Anderson Silva this coming Saturday, October 29th, in Glendale. A possible reason for the breakdown of the fight was the words of Silva, who said the day before that he had "twice been knocked out" in sparring. Later, at a special commission hearing, Silva said that he was "misunderstood."

Jake Paul and Anderson Silva agreed on a bet: if Silva wins, Jake will have a kickboxing rematch with him; if Jake wins, Silva will form an association with Paul to help UFC fighters get better pay and better medical care.
