UFC Fighters react after Jake Paul KO’s Tyron Woodley

Jake Paul and Tyron Woodley met inside the squared circle in a short-notice boxing rematch this evening in Tampa, Florida.

Paul (5-0) had previously defeated Woodley (0-2) by split decision in a high-profile boxing match which took place back earlier this summer in Cleveland. ‘The Chosen One’ hurt the YouTube sensation in that fight and nearly earned a knockdown. However, Jake Paul would ultimately land the better volume of strikes throughout the course of the contest and thus walked away with the split decision victory.

Tyron Woodley was attempting to overcome a five-fight losing skid when he returned to the ring this evening. ‘T-Wood’ had ended his mixed martial arts career suffering four straight losses inside of the Octagon.
