#4. UFC commentator Joe Rogan
UFC commentator and popular podcaster Joe Rogan recognizes that Tyron Woodley is a less experienced boxer than Jake Paul. However, Rogan believes that Tyron Woodley's championship pedigree makes him the most dangerous opponent Jake Paul has ever had. According to Rogan:

"I know he can punch. He punches really hard, but he doesn't punch like a boxer. He throws big bombs and sets up takedowns. But he can crack, though. With one shot he can f*** anybody up. But the thing is: the way he throws shots, he'll throw like a bomb and then set up a takedown or set up a clinch."

"He's not a guy going out there with a peek-a-boo style, throwing jabs and hooks to the body. That's not his style. He's never been a guy who boxed. He's been a guy who uses boxing in MMA but he uses everything."
"The thing about it is that he'll be the most dangerous guy Jake has ever fought, for sure. Not even close; no one is more dangerous than Tyron Woodley. Tyron is not just an MMA fighter. Tyron is a UFC world champion and one of the best welterweights of all time. If you look at all the UFC welterweights of all time, he's top three."
However, Rogan is aware that success in the octagon doesn't necessarily translate to success inside the squared circle. Rogan added:
"But that doesn't necessarily mean that he wins. And I think Jake Paul can box. If you look at that Nate Robinson fight – and I know Nate Robinson didn't know what he was doing – but the way he landed those punches. He cracked him, knocked him out moving backwards. He can move backwards and then plant."
Official pick: Undecided
#3. Former UFC middleweight champion Michael Bisping
Former UFC middleweight champion Michael Bisping could see the fight go either way. However, 'The Count' believes mental toughness will determine who walks away on Sunday night with the victory. As far as Bisping is concerned, Jake Paul appears to be the fighter who's in a better headspace.
"What Tyron Woodley are we gonna get? This is what it all comes down to. I say it all the time but this is a physical sport. The mind controls everything. Where is Tyron Woodley's mind?"
"On the flipside, we know where Jake Paul is. Jake Paul is undefeated. He's young; he's rich; he's got everyone swinging off his nuts. His confidence is through the roof, he just knocked out Ben Askren in his last one."
"Tyron Woodley, I don't know. He's saying all the right things. When you see the interviews with him, when you look at him on Instagram and you see the training footage, he seems to have the correct approach. I don't know that Tyron wants to use this as a springboard to become a full-time boxer."
Bisping concluded that as much as he wants his fellow MMA star Tyron Woodley to prevail, all signs are pointing toward a Jake Paul victory.
"So he's saying all the right things, doing all the right things, but he has also lost his last four in a row. He's also pushing 40. Jake Paul is 24. He's taller, he's got the longer reach; he's hungry and he's undefeated. Yes, he's only had three but still he's undefeated. He feels like he can't be beaten. And Tyron Woodley? Well, he knows he can be because he has in his last four professional fights."
Official pick: Jake Paul
