Before Tyron Woodley stepped into the ring to fight Jake Paul tonight at Amalie Arena in Tampa, Florida, the UFC star had a strong hunch about who he would face next.
After the decisive loss to Paul on August 29, in Paul’s hometown of Cleveland, Ohio, Woodley was furious with the result. Although Woodley admits that Paul has had his moments, the 39-year-old believes he should be acquiesced. In addition to what Woodley still considers a shaky assessment, particularly in the fourth round, Woodley believes an injustice has been done.
During this time, Woodley makes a powerful forehand serve. As the blow connected, its force pushed Paul into the second and third ropes, which Woodley vehemently believed should have been knocked down.
Now, with Woodley set to get his revenge tonight, the former UFC star is fully convinced that once he takes care of his business in just a few short hours, Paul will have no choice but to confront him. face him again.
Woodley told several reporters: “You’re going to see a trilogy. “You will see him taken down. When he got knocked down on Saturday, don’t you think he’s going to want to run that again? ”
Initially, Paul appeared to leave Woodley in the rearview mirror. The social media star has signed up for a bout where he will be taking on his first real boxer in Tommy Fury, the half-brother of WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury.
However, with Fury forced to remove the card due to injury, Woodley was called up. Without hesitation, the 39-year-old tennis player quickly took the opportunity to fix the score with Paul.
As Woodley patiently peruses his 2021 boxing schedule, he can’t help but smile. The former UFC champion admits that there have been plenty of exciting fights throughout the year. But, considering his first match with Paul generated around half a million pay-per-view buys, Woodley believes his and Paul’s combination is a match made from heaven.
“There have been many wars with so many people but none of them have had the echo of this war. This is not a Youtuber vs an MMA fighter. This is I’m not f*cking like you, you’re not f*cking like me. It’s the biggest game of the year, we’ve taken over for 2021.”
