Looks hesitant and flinchy.
Have to put out some kind of volume and not rely solely on your power.— The Thugjitsu Master (@thugjitsumaster) August 30, 2021

Woodley looks terrible, wow what a coward! He’s scared of a guy that didn’t fight for a living

I honestly thought jake would look better. Woodley needs to realize there’s level differences in there.

A boxer wouldn’t last this long in the octagon

That’s the Tyron I know to be a fighter. Could be 2-2 I would say 3-1 and tell Woolley he has the momentum. Keep it!!!

Fuck yeah TWOOD! Who else peeped Dave Chappelle getting hype when he had him hurt?

Woodley literally just gotta up the volume, Jake gas is gone, but woodley ain’t throwing

Think about this….. we’re in round 7 and Jake Paul is winning a decision over Tyron Woodley. Crazy
— Daniel Cormier (@dc_mma) August 30, 2021
Was this paid to go this way? If not then ???! 8rd sparring match.
— Michael Johnson (@Menace155) August 30, 2021
The weight makes a HUGE difference and TBF, Paul isn’t awful. He’s solid, bigger, and is using the range well and tying Woodley up when needed. Woodley should be teeing him up with that right hand, after utilizing the jab! #PaulWoodley
