UFC star Jorge Masvidal believes that Tyron Woodley is going to decimate Jake Paul. Paul and Woodley are scheduled for a bout on August 29 which will air on Showtime PPV. Woodley is a former UFC welterweight champion, and he never had a pro boxing match. Paul is 3-0 as a pro boxer and is fresh off a first-round TKO victory over Woodley’s friend and training partner, Ben Askren.
Jorge Masvidal predicts Tyron Woodley vs Jake Paul
Masvidal appeared on the Punchin’ In Podcast and kept his prediction for Paul vs. Woodley brief (via Sportskeeda.com).
“He’s gonna get killed by my boy (Tyron) Woodley.”
Masvidal’s comment is interesting as he had been working with Paul to prepare for his April bout with Askren. Joe Rogan ‘Beat Up’ By Kid At Gym
Woodley has said that he feels Paul is too aggressive for his own good and believes that will end up playing into his hands (h/t MMAFighting).
“When people press me, they get knocked the f*ck out, every single time,” Woodley said. “Who’s pressed me and not got knocked out? When I sat back and I let people in on the fight and I let people be like, ‘Ah, I’m waiting on Tyron to do what he normally does’ and when I didn’t do it, it gave them the confidence and courage to walk down. Then they’ve got a chance.”
We will see the outcome as they both square off inside the squared circle.
