In one of the most anticipated combat sports events of the year, Jake Paul proved to the world that he isn't a one-trick pony as he defeated Tyron Woodley via split decision and took his record to 4-0.
Being the polarizing figure he is, it's no surprise that the MMA community was rallying behind former UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley. 'The Chosen One' has put people to sleep with his knockout power, and the mixed martial arts community was hoping to see him do the same to Jake Paul.
While Tyron Woodley gave Jake Paul the toughest challenge of his four-fight boxing career so far, he was unable to get the job done. In the fourth round, Woodley had Paul badly hurt, but 'The Problem Child' managed to keep his wits about him. As soon as the bout ended, fighters from the MMA world took to Twitter to express their thoughts.
Unsurprisingly, Stockton native Nate Diaz was not impressed.
UFC middleweight king Israel Adesanya harked back to his UFC 263 fight against Marvin Vettori, where he grabbed the Italian's bottom during a clinch.
Current UFC welterweight champion Kamaru Usman, who dethroned Tyron Woodley and kicked off his losing skid, wasn't impressed with the fight, either. 'The Nigerian Nightmare' tweeted a 'facepalm' emoji to express his disappointment.
Former UFC champ-champ Daniel Cormier, who's had his own feud with Jake Paul, was quick to give an unbiased assessment. Cormier believes Woodley should have pressured when he had Jake Paul hurt. DC highlighted that it was Paul's activity that won him the decision.
Gilbert Burns gave props to Jake Paul for his boxing skills.
Former UFC middleweight champion Chris Weidman believes Tyron Woodley won the fight.
UFC light heavyweight Anthony Smith wasn't impressed, posting a 'yawn' emoji in his tweet.
Controversial UFC bantamweight champion Aljamain Sterling was also baffled with the judging for the fight.
Tyron Woodley wants an immediate rematch with Jake Paul
Immediately after Jake Paul was declared the winner, Ariel Helwani conducted the in-ring post-fight interview. During this exchange, Tyron Woodley claimed he had done enough to secure an immediate rematch.
Woodley claimed he landed more power punches, had Jake Paul hurt, and that he and Paul would make for another massive pay-per-view. Jake Paul stated that if Tyron Woodley gets the "I love Jake Paul" tattoo, they can perhaps meet in the ring for a rematch.
However, there is no official word on that yet.
