The build-up to the fight between Tyron Woodley and Jake Paul has been taken up a notch. The incidents that took place during their press conference a few hours back have heightened the animosity between the two camps. It is understood that after the press conference between the two men, a member of Jake Paul’s camp made a few distasteful comments towards Tyron Woodley’s mother. 

This was not welcome by Woodley and his camp as his sister immediately confronted the individual who made the comments. All hell broke loose as the two camps bickered over events that had just taken place.

Following the incident, Tyron Woodley shared his thoughts on what had just happened. He said, “One thing I don’t do is disrespect. And when disrespect comes to my mother, it’s a whole issue. F**k this money, f**k this bag, f**k the pay-per-view, f**k the fight. When it comes to that it will not be tolerated.”

“At the end of the day, they didn’t like what I said, well s**t’s the truth. So they started going back and forth and talking. Which they’re more than willing to do. But what you’re not willing to do is f***ing talk to my mother any type of way…. I don’t care if you kill my friend, I am never going to speak on nobody mom.”

Did Jake Paul and his team cross the line with Tyron Woodley?

It is well documented that Woodley adores his mother. He often credits the fighting spirit he has inherited to his mother as she worked multiple jobs round the clock as the sole provider for her family. Woodley’s mother is also well-loved and respected in the MMA community for the way she embraces Woodley’s opponents following a win or a loss. 

Tyron Woodley is not an emotional fighter. However, the altercation tonight might prompt him to come out guns blazing against Jake Paul. ‘The Chosen One’ has been accused of being gun shy in his previous fights. However, his disdain for ‘The Problem Child’ might force him to take a different approach this time around.
