Silva, regarded as one of the top mixed martial arts fighters of all-time, is a former UFC middleweight champion. He is 2-0 since transitioning into boxing, including a knockout over Tito Ortiz.
Paul owns a pair of wins over Tyron Woodley and Ben Askren, and is much younger than the 47-year-old Silva. He is a perfect 5-0 overall.
