How did this fight take place?

It all started when Jake Paul fought Ben Askren. Woodley came in as Ben’s friend and was a part of his team. Just before the fight, Woodley went into Jake’s locker to check the wrapping of gloves, and that’s where things got heated.

Woodley and Paul’s trainer got into a war of words. The latter told Woodley that he does not know anything about boxing gloves and the UFC fighter was quick to respond. Moreover, Jake Paul even asked him to bet on the fight as Woodley came in as a Ben Askren supporter.
