Jake Paul has claimed that he saw a different side of the ex-UFC champion Tyron Woodley when they reportedly faced off in private. The 24-year-old YouTuber also revealed some insights into the face-off that was reportedly scheduled to prepare the fight-posters. However, Paul’s comments regarding ‘The Chosen One’ might not sit well with the MMA fans.

There was no media, and it wasn’t for the public to see. And I saw a different Tyron [Woodley] than I saw in the public face-off.”
