Tyron Woodley and Jake Paul: An overview
To the uninitiated, the aforementioned scrap makes sense since Jake Paul defeated Woodley’s friend and teammate in his last fight. It took ‘The Problem Child’ less than two minutes to dispatch Ben Askren while Woodley stood in his corner. Tyron Woodley also got into it with Jake Paul’s training partner, J’Leon Love, backstage.

7 days ago @danawhite woke up and watched this video. He immediately knew @TWooodley was washed, as he saw the fear in TWood’s eyes, when @JLeonLove checked him. What an embarrassment for MMA that day. Dana had no choice but to cut him. pic.twitter.com/cptNCQPKaQ
