Tyron Woodley Agrees He Is Under More Pressure Than Jake Paul- “He Is Fighting for a Different S***

Former UFC champion Tyron Woodley has been out of form in combat sports for the past few years. He is currently on a losing streak that goes both into the MMA and the boxing chains. Following a failed boxing debut against Jake Paul in August, ‘T-Wood’ will re-match ‘The Problem Child’ on December 18 in a high-voltage clash.

While Paul is currently undefeated as a boxer, it’s clear that the stakes are low on Tyron Woodley’s side. Several people demeaned Woodley after he lost the first fight against Paul. The former champion is under scrutiny ahead of the re-match. Woodley is well aware of that and claims to be enjoying all the pressure.

When Ariel Helwani asked him about facing all the heat, Woodley replied, “I like it tho, I need it. I needed this question. I needed this pressure. He is fighting for a different s*** that I am fighting for. And I don’t know him that personally to even know what he is fighting for. But I can tell you it’s different and his reason is as strong as mine.”

“He is gonna make adjustments. I know, he is gonna be a little bit sharper and I am definitely gonna be f*** sharper.”
