Anthony Smith encourages MMA fans to boycott Jake Paul’s fights until the boxer turned YouTuber fights against someone of his level and stops exploiting legends of the sport who are past their prime.
Paul faced UFC icon Anderson Silva on Sunday, scoring a final-round knockdown en route to a unanimous decision win.
The 47-year-old Brazilian is the third UFC star he has beaten in his young boxing career – and Smith has had enough.

Speaking on the ‘Believe You Me’ Podcast, the No. 5 ranked light-heavyweight slammed ‘The Problem Child’ for making a mockery of UFC greats.
“We should all boycott the rest of his fights until he fights someone who is at his level or whatever level we think he is,” Smith said.
“You all talk about MMA fighters, you talk about the UFC, then you pretend you want to raise fighters and you want everyone to be paid better, but then you ruin everyone every time they fight.
“And now we’re putting food on your table to carry our legends along.
“Older, shorter, smaller, past their major legends who have spent their entire careers with their bodies in fucking car accidents and we hold these guys close to our hearts.
Visibly enraged by Paul using the UFC as a tool to boost his profile by beating old legends, Smith continued with his forceful tirade.
“This bastard gets them out of semi-retirement and then just knocks them out on fucking pay-per-view, and then it still has to do with all of us?”
‘Go f**k yourself like why are we even giving in to this piece of shit?’
Undefeated Paul is now 6-0 as a boxer, despite not yet facing a professional boxer in the ring.

He was quick to call out UFC legend Nate Diaz as well as Canelo Alvarez, one of the best fighters in the world right now.
There will always be haters, there will always be critics. It’s just part of everyday life when you’re successful. I’m not worried about that shit.
“This is just the beginning. I want Nate Diaz, who is ab**ch. He tried to come into my locker room, he tried to cause some shit and then he always leaves the damn arena. So Nate Diaz, stop being so ab**ch and fight me.
“And Canelo, you too. You said, “You can’t beat a striker, you can’t beat a legend like Anderson Silva”. I just did it. So why can’t I beat Canelo. Damn everyone.’
