In one of the most anticipated combat sports events of the year, Jake Paul proved to the world that he isn't a one-trick pony as he defeated Tyron Woodley via split decision and took his record to 4-0.
Being the polarizing figure he is, it's no surprise that the MMA community was rallying behind former UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley. 'The Chosen One' has put people to sleep with his knockout power, and the mixed martial arts community was hoping to see him do the same to Jake Paul.
While Tyron Woodley gave Jake Paul the toughest challenge of his four-fight boxing career so far, he was unable to get the job done. In the fourth round, Woodley had Paul badly hurt, but 'The Problem Child' managed to keep his wits about him. As soon as the bout ended, fighters from the MMA world took to Twitter to express their thoughts.
