That said, it will also be the biggest payday of Tyron Woodley’s career, who has been with the UFC for several years.

Meanwhile, both men have already voiced their supremacy over the other, based on certain legitimate features. Per the recent scenario, Paul and Woodley will have their unique chances of winning the showdown.
