Dan Hardy was quick to respond to the video posted by Woodley. He wrote, “So you left out the ‘LOVE’ part, and that’s written in pen? Well played. It looks like a tattoo your friend did when you were both drunk. An embarrassing tattoo is one thing, but a bad embarrassing tattoo is a whole other.”

The word ‘love’ appears to be written with a pen, while the rest of the tattoo appears to be inked. Dan Hardy and the fans are not wrong in speculating.

After leaving the UFC, Tyron Woodley got in the ring against YouTuber turned professional boxer, Jake Paul. Woodley and Paul first got into an altercation before the latter faced Woodley’s teammate Ben Askren in a boxing match.
Shortly after the exchange, the fighters met in the ring on August 29th, 2021, inside the Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse in Cleveland. Jake Paul won the fight via a split decision.
Woodley wanted a rematch because of the controversy surrounding the decision. ‘The Problem Child’ agreed to grant him the rematch only if Woodley got the tattoo. Now that Woodley has gone through with the wager, it puts him back in the mix for the rematch.
