Jorge Masvidal Says Jake Paul Has Never Been in the Ring Against Someone Like Tyron Woodley- Predicts a Knockout
Follow Us
UFC’s BMF champion, Jorge Masvidal, sat down for an interview with Ariel Helwani recently. Masvidal hasn’t done too much media since his knockout loss to Kamaru Usman at UFC 261. However, Helwani has been among the people on whose show he has appeared. So, it’s only fitting ‘Gamebred’ was called as The MMA Hour show has restarted. Masvidal was asked for his prediction of the upcoming boxing match between Tyron Woodley and Jake Paul.
Paul recently went to train with Masvidal ahead of his fight with Ben Askren. Woodley, on the other hand, had been a long-time friend and training partner of Masvidal from their American Top Team days.

Masvidal predicted Woodley will knock Jake Paul out, reasoning the former UFC welterweight champion’s superior athleticism and experience as the key factor.
“It’s not to diss Jake, but you’ve been watching MMA for a minute. Woodley can put them hands Ben Askren never could, you know what I’m saying. So, it’s like you got a guy that could fight,” said Masvidal.
“Woodley could have made his money grappling, which he did. He was good enough of an athlete. And he was good enough of an athlete to make his money with his hands. Knock people the f*ck out, you know,” he added.
“So, I don’t think, I don’t, it’s not, I know Jake’s never been in there with a guy like that, you know. He’s explosive, he’s a good athlete and has ton of experience over him,” Masvidal concluded.

Can Tyron Woodley finish Jake Paul?
While Woodley hasn’t been in his best form lately, ‘The Chosen One’ is still a force to reckon with. He is a vicious striker and has managed several finished via knockout in his career.
Whether T-Wood shows up as his former self remains to be seen. One thing is for sure, he will have the onus of the MMA community upon his shoulder to be the man to stop the Jake Paul hype train.
