The stunning conclusion to the rematch between Jake Paul and Tyron Woodley left the combat sports community in utter disbelief.

Paul delivered on what he had promised and knocked out Woodley in devastating fashion at the Amalie Arena in Tampa, Florida.

However, some fans are skeptical about Paul's vicious knockout. Numerous theories about the outcome of the fight have been conceptualized and shared on various social media platforms.

Fans have been debating whether both fights between Paul and Woodley were rigged, with many speculating that the latter intentionally took a dive and lost the rematch.

A Twitter user pointed out that an alleged signal by Paul moments before the final punch of the fight was a cue for Woodley to hit the canvas. He stated that before Paul landed his massive overhand right on the former UFC star, he subtly signaled to Woodley that the knockout punch was coming.

Aljamain Sterling spoke about Jake Paul vs. Tyron Woodley fight being rigged, labeling the accusations as 'nonsense'

Aljamain Sterling reposted the first video where a user pointed out that Jake Paul signaled to Tyron Wodley to drop his guard, making way for 'The Problem Child's overhand right.

Sterling took to Twitter and said:

"I really hate ppl sometimes...I’m going to bed man. Please stop the nonsense."

However, there is no evidence to support the theories regarding the fight being rigged. Jake Paul appeared to be setting up the overhand right throughout the bout.

At the post-fight press conference, Paul shared that he kept feinting at Woodley in the opening five rounds and tricked the former UFC welterweight champion into thinking that a body shot was coming his way instead of a powerful overhand right.

Woodley acknowledged the same after the bout, saying that one mistake cost him the fight.
