Dana White gives his prediction for the Tyron Woodley vs Jake Paul fight

Tyron Woodley is expected to face YouTube star turned celebrity boxer Jake Paul in a boxing match on August 28. Ahead of the upcoming fight, UFC president Dana White recently revealed his prediction on an episode of the 'Real Quick with Mike Swick' podcast.

While Dana White predicted a knockout win for Tyron Woodley, he was emphatic about Woodley losing a lot of past glory. When asked for a prediction, Dana White told Mike Swick:

"You tell me when was the last time you saw (Tyron) Woodley look like Woodley. I'd have to go with (Tyron) Woodley via knockout. Listen man, Woodley should knock him out but again the Tyron Woodley we talk about that was champ isn't the same f***ing guy he was, you know, four years ago."

Tyron Woodley recently ended his tenure with the UFC following an eight-year run that saw him dominate the UFC's welterweight division for nearly three years.

'The Chosen One' bid farewell to the octagon on a four-fight skid, which started with his welterweight title loss against current champion Kamaru Usman at UFC 235. Tyron Woodley has since dropped back-to-back bouts against top contenders Gilbert Burns, Colby Covington and Vicente Luque.
