‘Yeah, I Took a Motherf***ing Dive’: Tyron Woodley Opens Up on His Knockout Loss to Jake Paul
Follow Us
Last month, Jake Paul fought Tyron Woodley in a stellar rematch that had everyone’s attention. Although the ex-UFC elite was a favorite to win, Jake Paul slept Woodley with a power-packed overhand right to attain his biggest career win.
‘The Problem Child’ became an obvious center of attraction, bagging some sublime reactions from fans and purists. At the same time, many pinned this fight as rigged as they believed Paul could never demolish a former UFC champion.
However, ‘The Chosen One’ finally gave his take on the last punch he took on December 19. On The MMA Hour, he said, “Yeah, I took a motherf***ing dive, but it wasn’t on purpose. That motherf***er hit me with some s***” (h/t ESPN Ringside)

This rematch began well for the former UFC welterweight champ. Coming ahead with his jabs and straight rights, Woodley pressed the Ohio native and dictated the pace of the fight to a fair extent. Moreover, the duo even clashed their heads, which later opened a stream of blood on Paul’s head.
Paul remained in a vulnerable spot, and he was slowly losing his grip on this fight. But then came round 6, when Jake Paul applied all his force to land his best shot. He tricked Woodley into dropping his guard and went 5-0 as a professional.
