Tyron Woodley got knocked out yet again. The most telling reaction, though, was not from the fans but rather from his rival’s family. Woodley boxed UFC legend Anderson Silva in the undercard of the Jake Paul vs Anthony Joshua fight. The reaction of WWE Superstar Logan Paul and his wife, Nina Agdal, spoke volumes about Woodley’s performance.

Logan Paul’s reaction feels accurate

Jake Paul’s Most Valuable Productions posted this very clip on their Instagram handle, and it’s going viral all over the internet. You could see the 28-year-old sharing a white couch with journalist Ariel Helwani. All while Logan and Agdal, who sat right next to him, were locked in as the Brazilian boxer improved his record to 4-2. The room had suddenly gone quiet during the moment of truth. What followed was intense “Wow,” reactions from Logan and background noises from the people standing in the room with professional cameras.

Someone in the room says, “He was not serious,” shockingly questioning the former UFC welterweight champ’s performance, unable to believe if what they saw just happened! Logan Paul was stunned and going through a roller coaster of emotions with his mouth wide open, his Danish wife leaned in towards the screen in disbelief, all while The Problem Child just sat there, processing it like the rest of us creating an awkward silence when something goes worse than expected. Also, Logan’s repeated “Wow” wasn’t mocking. It was the shock of, yeah, this really just happened again.

Moreover, if you’ve been following the sport, you know how these reactions from Logan Paul weren’t those of a neutral fan watching a random fight on a Friday night. Tyron Woodley’s transition from MMA to boxing has been a failure, losing all three of his fights. Two of them have come from the Problem Child back in 2021, thus adding another layer to the Paul family’s reaction to his knockout loss.

Tyron Woodley’s career takes yet another wrong turn

When you think about it, this was supposed to be the 0-3 boxer’s big moment! The fight was happening at Miami’s Kaseya Center, as an undercard on one of the biggest crossover boxing cards of the year. Instead, everything took a wrong turn quickly. It’ll be another harsh reminder for Woodley that boxing has not been kind to him. Silva dropped him in round two itself. A clean right uppercut, followed by a quick barrage that forced the stoppage at the 1:33 mark. Woodley did get back to his feet, but it was too late. The referee had seen enough. And just like that, the fight came to an end. The result shocked the fans and  named Silva as the G.O.A.T.

For The Spider competing inside the ring at 50 years old, this win was shouting that age really is just a number. He looked completely in control, improving his record to 4-2 and recovering from the same loss Woodley was going through. Silva too know what it is like fighting Jake Paul as the two fought each other in 2022, at the Gila River Arena, Glendale. Now, he’s recovered from that blow, with fans praising his timing and precision, whereas for Woodley, it’s the complete opposite.

Sure, he took the fight against Silva on short notice, and that earned him respect. But coming down from once being one of the most dominant welterweight champions in UFC history, the dramatic loss feels unsettling to most fans. Silva and Woodley both share losses to Jake Paul, but their trajectories since then couldn’t be more different. Silva has rebuilt himself as a legitimate boxing attraction. Woodley, meanwhile, keeps running into the same wall. That contrast is exactly why Logan Paul’s reaction resonated. He didn’t need to say much. One word did the job. What are your thoughts on this?
