The 24 year old YouTube sensation <a href=\"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/news\/jake-paul-gets-flooded-with-offers-from-mma-fighters\/\">knocked out former UFC welterweight champ Ben Askren<\/a> in the first round earlier this year and then agreed to fight Askren\u2019s friend and training partner Woodley.<\/p>\n<p>There were many in the MMA community who felt that Paul\u2019s win over Ben Askren was a fluke because Askren never had good hands and made a name for himself based on his wrestling. Jake Paul in recent months has challenged multiple MMA fighters including <strong>Conor McGregor<\/strong> and <strong>Jorge Masvidal<\/strong>. <\/p>\n<p>The MMA community pinned their hopes on Tyron Woodley and expected him to KO Paul. That almost happened as Woodley sent Jake Paul into the ropes but he did not hit the ground and recovered quickly. Most of the fight was spent prancing and dancing around the ring as both fighters did not seem very keen to stand and engage.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>two fighters went the distance and after 8 rounds, the judges scored a split decision and gave it to Jake Paul<\/strong>. Woodley looked a bit surprise but he was not robbed in our opinion as he did not impose himself or take the fight to Jake Paul.<\/p>\n<p>Immediately after the decision, Tyron Woodley called for a rematch with Logan Paul and embarrassed the MMA community further. Jake Paul asked Tyron Woodley to tattoo \u2018<em>I love Jake Paul<\/em>\u2019 on his body to get a rematch and Woodley was only too happy to do so!<br \/>\nJake Paul sent out a cryptic tweet on Tuesday saying retired boxer! We will have to wait and see if he means it!<\/p>\n<p><center><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Updated status:<\/p>\n<p>Retired boxer<\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Jake Paul (@jakepaul) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/jakepaul\/status\/1432472158341681156?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 30, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p> <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/center><\/p>\n<h2>UFC Fighters Speak Out <\/h2>\n<p>Tyron Woodley is a professional <a href=\"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/sports-betting\/mixed-martial-arts\">MMA fighter<\/a> and a former UFC champion.
