Jake Paul knocked out Tyron Woodley back in December but the combat sports world is still shocked by the outcome. UFC champions getting knocked out by YouTubers never happens. Joe Rogan recently gave his theory on what happened.
Tyron Woodley did take the boxing match on short notice and that was a big factor for Joe Rogan. He believes Jake Paul was in better shape for the fight and there were cardio issues for the former UFC champion.
“It would have been a different fight had Tyron had the time to prepare, I guarantee you,” Rogan said on his Joe Rogan Experience podcast. “He would have had more conditioning, more confidence to hit the gas. If you don’t have a full camp, you still are in shape, you’re a professional athlete. He’s still a fucking stud of a man. But, he doesn’t have the kind of conditioning that you need to go a hard fight. There was no way he was conditioned for that fight.”
That being said, Joe Rogan had very nice things to say about the Paul brothers and their involvement in combat sports. Jake Paul has shown ability and big power in the boxing ring.
“Him and his brother are fucking animals,” Rogan said. “I mean, what they’ve been able to do is incredible. His brother knocked out Tyron Woodley. You understand that? With one punch. He knocked out one of the greatest Welterweight champions of all time with one punch is fucking bonkers.
“See, he’s got the power out of the two of them,” he continued. “Logan is a really good athlete but he’s not as good of a boxer. But Jake Paul on top of being a better boxer, he’s got legit power. Tyron took it on just a few week’s notice. There’s no way he was conditioned for that fight. So when you’re not fully camp conditioned, you take breaks. When you’re in the fight and there’s maybe times you should move then you just go, ‘I gotta take a fucking break here.’ and try to gather up your energy and you manage it over the course of three minutes. You can’t just go out.”
