#2. UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya

Israel Adesanya sees Jake Paul winning through using his size advantage

Reigning UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya gave a breakdown of Jake Paul vs. Tyron Woodley on his YouTube channel. 'The Last Stylebender' enumerated the keys to victory for both competitors. However, Adesanya sounded like he's more confident about Paul's chances of emerging victorious.

"If Jake Paul is gonna win, what he should do, like I said, he's crazy," Adesanya said. He's already playing little games with Woodley along the way, which is fun to watch. He's like a troll; he's trolling him. He can play of that a little bit if he knows how to."

"It's easy to do it outside the ring, but then when you're in a fight, it takes a skill – a skillful personality to be able to play off the investments when you already planted something on his head. Cash out on it."

Adesanya also pointed out that Paul's size advantage could play a huge role in how the fight unfolds. The Kiwi fighter added:

"Also he has to use the long game. He's a big boy. He's 6-foot-1 and Tyron is 5-foot-9. So yeah, he needs to use the size, use his reach. He's got a longer reach than him, 76 inches to (Tyron's) 74."

Official pick: Jake Paul

#1. UFC welterweight star Jorge Masvidal

Jorge Masvidal thinks Tyron Woodley will knock Jake Paul out

UFC welterweight star Jorge Masvidal supported Jake Paul during his fight against Ben Askren. However, 'Gamebred' recently hopped off the Jake Paul bandwagon and pledged his allegiance to Tyron Woodley.

The two-time UFC welterweight title challenger doesn't only think Woodley will win, but he also boldly predicted a knockout in favor of 'The Chosen One.' Speaking with Ariel Helwani on an episode of The MMA Hour, Masvidal said:

“So it’s not to diss Jake, but you’ve been watching MMA for a minute. Woodley can throw them hands. Ben Askren never could. So it’s like you’ve got a guy that can fight if it’s slinging fists. Woodley could have made his money grappling, which he did. He was good enough of an athlete, and he was good enough of an athlete to make his money with his hands to knock people the f*** out."

“So I don’t think – I know Jake’s never been in there with a guy like that, that’s explosive, is a good athlete, and has a ton of experience over him. So if Jake wins, f***ing wild, my hat’s off to him, I was wrong, I don’t know s*** about fighting. But, chances are, Woodley’s going to knock him the f*** out.”

Official pick: Tyron Woodley
