Woodley is the former UFC welterweight champion of the UFC, with three successful title defenses to his record. In an interview with Ariel Helwani, Woodley opened up about fighting Jake Paul in a boxing match.

‘The Chosen One’ said, “If you want to go in and get it on, let’s do it. I don’t think he wants to do it. They offered me this, they offered me to fight him in November. Obviously, I couldn’t do it because I’m you know under contract with UFC but for this time I’m at the holiday. Dana or somebody hey guys, I don’t what’s going on right, it works out, but let me beat this dude’s a** please give me permission”.
