“Look, I see something that’s wrong in the system and I didn’t like it,” Paul said on the show. “I see how these fighters work. I know how hard it is to be a fighter and I know how expensive it is to be a fighter. And I just see this tyrant in Dana White, just controlling these fighters like puppets.”

“Making them do whatever stripping belts, not giving them fights they want. Not paying what they want. I’m like ‘f*ck this guy’. It became like a personal thing for me and that’s really how it started. It was really like a snowball effect,” he added.

Jake Paul believes he could finish Tyron Woodley in round 1

In a brief career so far, Jake has finished all his opponents. He thinks it won’t be any different with Woodley, even though he is a dangerous fighter.

“I’m just built different,” Paul told Sky Sports. “I have something inside of me that I think is just a natural-born fighter, with natural power. You can teach a lot of things, but you can’t teach speed and you can’t teach power I think that’s why my fights have ended so early.”

“Honestly, after this camp, I said three [rounds] and now I’m thinking max two. But to be honest, something in my heart tells me that it’s going to be another one-round fight. As crazy as that sounds. I think it’s going to be a very short night for Tyron,” he added.

It won’t be an easy job, though. Woodley, unlike his previous opponents, is a legitimate prizefighter. Jake has to be at his best to beat ‘The Chosen One’.
