Ever since Jake Paul fought against Ben Askren and won the fight. ‘The Problem child’ has been constantly calling out various MMA stars including Conor McGregor, Tyron Woodley, and Daniel Cormier. Paul even got into an altercation with Daniel Cormier at the UFC 261 event.
Now finally former UFC champion Tyron Woodley talked about Paul and called him out for a fight. During a recent interview with Ariel Helwani, ‘The Chosen One’ talked about how he believes Paul is a superb athlete but not a fighter.
“I like it, it’s a show. I get it but like fight me then. If you really want to fight somebody, you wanna say you beat somebody. Fight a world champion, fight somebody that actually you know will get in your face and make it real for you. Then if you beat me, you can really say you are a fighter.”
