He said, “So it’s not like I’ve knocked out everyone in a violent fashion in one way or another. And my power is only increasing, and I set up the shot. You watch the whole sequence. I think I see his hand come flying down. I think again, go to the body, and then bring it up top with all my power and brought my hips through.”

“And it’s not lucky, like, look at all the people that Tyron Woodley has been in there with, and he’s never been killed like that.”

Woodley initially dictated the rematch between the two men, as Paul rarely threw some power punches.
