Paul and Woodley have been at odds since the lead-up to Paul’s professional boxing match against Woodley’s dear friend, “Funky” Ben Askren. Paul fed Askren a first-round knockout. The win over Askren improved Paul’s pro boxing record to 3-0 with additional wins over NBA alum Nate Robinson and YouTuber Ali Eson Gib.
Woodley wrapped up his UFC career on the heels of four consecutive losses — to Vicente Luque, Colby Covington, Gilbert Burns and Kamaru Usman — dating back to March 2019. His resume of wins includes UFC Welterweight title fights against Darren Till, Demian Maia, Stephen Thompson and Robbie Lawler. “T-Wood” also beat Kelvin Gastelum, Carlos Condit, Josh Koscheck and Paul Daley, among others.
