The moment Jake Paul knocked out Tyron Woodley was so shocking that many claimed Woodley took a dive. It seemed like the only explanation for a UFC champion to get knocked out by a YouTuber.
Tyron Woodley recently went on The MMA Hour and addressed the claims he took a dive. The former UFC champion did not hold back.
“Yeah, I took a motherfucking dive but it wasn’t on purpose,” Tyron Woodley said (h/t MixedMartialArts.com.) “That motherfucker hit me with some shit [laughs]. I just feel like this, be real, man. People resonate with real. Remember the time when Sean Sherk was being accused of steroids and he got popped with the drug test and he was saying somebody put it in the supplement, and we never forgave him? When Chael Sonnen popped a positive test he said, ‘That’s it? That must’ve been a bad day.’ He went into it and we never brought it up again. People fuck with realness and they fuck with being authentic.”
Tyron Woodley admits he still communicates with Jake Paul and the two will be linking up to do business together. It's not quite clear how the two could get it done.
“Yeah, I’ve been talking to him,” Tyron Woodley said. “We’ll talk every day. We gonna do some business. We was already business partners. He didn’t pay me to let him fucking knock me out. No amount of money can say, ‘Hey, let me knock you the fuck out bro.’ No, I’m not doing that.”
