Tyron Woodley had a huge amount of bossiness going into his bout with social media star turned professional boxer, Jake Paul. Although Woodley has spent decades honing his skills in the MMA cage, the former UFC welterweight champion remains steadfast in his belief that he can walt into a boxing ring and stop the practice. Paul’s exaggeration.
In just over a year, Paul decided to give up his YouTube stardom and choose a career in the pugilistic sport. As a result, sensational social media has scored sensational knockout wins over social media star Ali Eson Gib, former NBA player Nate Robinson and former MMA fighter Ben Askren.
Despite his record, Woodley is adamant that a confrontation with himself will end with a painful night at the office for the newly converted eccentric boxer. However, despite Woodley’s warnings, Paul secured a decisive victory in their first game in August 2021. Three and a half months later, Woodley attempted to redeem himself, filling in as a substitute. Late for the injured Tommy Fury.
But, although Woodley believed he would open the scoring, Paul knocked out an incredible knockout in the sixth round. As soon as Paul’s right hand was connected, Woodley was immediately plugged in, resulting in several Knockout of the Year awards being awarded to Paul.
Since the catastrophic failure, Woodley has been publicly punished. He also noticed that many people were trying to call Paul out, including his fellow MMA fighters and regular fans of the sport. Having spent 14 rounds with Paul, Woodley believes that if the former YouTuber decides to put on his gloves and face all of the people who keep calling him out, Paul will eventually make his doubters mad. conscious.
Woodley told The MMA Hour: “A lot of people say ‘oh you’ve been knocked out’ but he’s going to really enjoy it. “MMA fighters and others are just bumping their gums, he’s an athletic kid with no job other than this. He doesn’t have kids, he doesn’t have the business he’s running. He probably has the best coach, the best coach, the best nutrition.”
Long before Woodley stepped into the ring against Paul, the 39-year-old believed his overall fighting experience, albeit in a different combat sport, would help him win. However, while he was ultimately proven wrong, Woodley doesn’t see his most recent defeat to Paul as a complete stain on his résumé. Instead, the future MMA’s Arena of Fame simply marks his loss to a perfect right-hand man who landed at the perfect time. No more no less.
“I don’t really see myself getting knocked down by a kid on YouTube. I’ve seen af*cking’s phenomenal punch land at the perfect time. It was really the only thing that kept repeating in my mind over and over. ”
