Youtuber turned boxer Jake Paul stunned the world when he defeated former UFC welterweight champion, Tyron Woodley, twice in the same year. Paul has been working hard to earn a name for himself in the world of boxing. And he recently moved closer to his goal by defeating another UFC legend, Anderson Silva. However, recently Woodley spilled some beans about fighting Paul for the third time. But, not inside the squared circle.

Tyron Woodley has fallen short in front of Jake Paul twice in the past. Maybe it was because Woodley is an MMA fighter, and a boxing ring is a new setting for him. Given this, Woodley wants to take on Paul again, but in an MMA fight. The former UFC champ stated, “What we really should do is fight in MMA. Because a lot of people want to see what happens when we fight in MMA.”

As the host of the ‘geto boys reloaded’ podcast mentioned, Paul is very smart about giving himself a winning chance. Therefore, it seems absurd to challenge Paul to an MMA match. The YouTuber wants to be one of the finest boxers in the world, so that is what he will likely focus on more than preparing for an MMA bout.
