As Anderson Silva nears his biggest boxing bout to date against former YouTuber Jake Paul, we get to see a side of the spider rarely seen before. In a new All-Access documentary by Showtime, we get to see the former middleweight champion’s massive toy collection. Silva retired from MMA back in 2020 after his bout against Uriah Hall at the Apex Facility.
While many thought the spider was done with combat for good, almost immediately he jumped back into the ring, with heavier gloves this time. In his return to boxing, Silva surprised many, outshining former boxing world champion Julio Ceasar Chavez and hence opening up a ton of new doors for the spider.
Now as he prepares to face up against Paul, it may seem too surprising to think that the former UFC Champion has a more juvenile energy to him than the young YouTuber. While Paul’s juvenile behavior may sometimes end up leading to controversies, Silva’s is much more endearing.
The champion has a room filled with mini-action figures, an impressive collection regardless of the contents. Speaking to the documentary crew about the lack of fancy cars on his property, Silva said, “It’s because that is not important, this is what’s important”, as he led the crew to a massive room filled with these collectible figurines.
The room contains a variety of figures ranging from superheroes to Michael Jackson. The room also had a figurine of Ali and some of Silva’s UFC colleagues. He revealed that it was the GI JOE that was his favorite toy. “I started collecting them when I was 8 years old”, said the Brazilian revealing he’d receive one or two such toys a month. “Everybody spends money on something, I spend money on my toys”, said Silva as he proudly glanced across his vast collection of nearly 6000 figures.

When will Anderson Silva and Jake Paul fight?
Silva and Paul will clash in an 8-round, professional boxing fight. The bout will take place in Glendale, Arizona at the Desert Diamond Arena. The same Arena previously hosted UFC 263, which holds the record for the venue.
A final press conference between the two is scheduled to take place on the 27th of October, two days before the fight itself. A win for Paul would legitimize his boxing career to an extent and keep the possibility of more lucrative fights down the line still alive.
