Jake Paul gave the world one of the cleanest knockouts of the year on Saturday night. Paul took on Tyron Woodley for their rematch on December 18th at the Amalie Arena in Tampa, Florida. The fight was relatively uneventful up until the sixth round.
Paul dipped his shoulder to fake a body shot, then came up top and connected with a right hook flush on the temple. Woodley was out on his feet as his body plummeted face-first onto the canvas to the roars of the thousands in attendance.

Following his highlight-reel knockout, Paul called out a number of UFC fighters, including Conor McGregor. Immediately after he knocked Woodley out, he also called out Jorge Masvidal and Nate Diaz for leaving the arena.
Then, in the post-fight press conference, he added Conor McGregor and Kamaru Usman to his hit list as he sent a message to Dana White. “I just knocked out a five-time UFC champion and embarrassed your whole company.”
“Please, please let me get Kamaru Usman. Please let me get Diaz, please let me get Masvidal, please let me get McGregor. Coz imma embarrass them too. I promise you that Dana, I promise you that.”
Paul seems very confident in his abilities, calling out some of the finest strikers in the UFC. Conor McGregor is currently recovering from a fracture, looking to make his comeback to fighting. Will he take on ‘The Problem Child’?
