Sean O’Malley: Tyron Woodley ‘Completely Destroyed His F*cking Legacy’

Sean O’Malley feels that following on from his knockout loss Tyron Woodley has ruined the legacy he had built for himself across MMA. Woodley has lost back-to-back boxing matches against Jake Paul with the rematch ending by a devastating KO. ‘The Chosen One’ also had the misfortune of losing his final four bouts in a […]

‘The Chosen One’ also had the misfortune of losing his final four bouts in a row within the UFC and although it was against the top end of the division it showed the true trajectory the former welterweight champion was heading on.

O’Malley spoke on an episode of the TimboSugarShow and explained that like many fans the vicious KO caught him off guard given the slow pace of the fight in the rounds prior to this.

“I was watching them on my laptop with my eyes kind of shutting. It was the sixth round getting closer to the end of the fight. It looked like it was probably gonna go all eight [rounds] and it was a close fight.”

“I didn’t really know who I had necessarily winning each round. But, out of f*cking nowhere, [Paul] slept him… bad!”

Sean O’Malley says Woodley’s legacy is now ‘completely destroyed’

Woodley now sits in a difficult spot as an athlete himself. Given his ending at the UFC, it is extremely unlikely they would be looking to re-sign the former champion, and with boxing not going the way he wanted who knows what’s next for him.

However, no matter what adventure he moves on to Sean O’Malley feels that this loss could still have a serious effect.

“Dude, it completely destroyed his f*cking legacy,” O’Malley said. “That could affect Tyron Woodley big time, or he could just be completely unattached to that and still be happy. That’s a f*cking skill that you have to require.” (transcribed by mmanews.com)

Former UFC champion Tyron Woodley is rolling with the punches after his loss to Jake Paul, even paying a fan for a hilarious meme.

Woodley lost to Paul this weekend via sixth-round knockout, in arguably one of the most eye-opening knockouts in recent boxing history. Paul was supposed to fight Tommy Fury before Fury suffered an injury, and he stepped up on short notice.

Woodley has been criticized from all angles since his loss to the polarizing Paul but has taken it with stride. After hosting a fan contest on his Instagram for the best meme from the knockout, he awarded content creator Chris Ashley a $5,000 prize.

Check out Woodley announcing the winner, along with a clip of the meme here.

“Merry Christmas!” Woodley said in the caption. “Spread some love and do some good.”

Tyron Woodley Seems Forward-Thinking After Jake Paul Loss

Just minutes after his loss to Paul, Woodley seemed optimistic about his fighting future during his post-fight press conference. He encouraged fans not to write him off just yet as he gets ready for a potentially very active 2022.

Woodley has previously said that he envisions multiple boxing and MMA fights next year. He was originally slated to face Dan Hardy in a boxing match in the UK in January before the Paul rematch became available.

Woodley is arguably one of the most decorated fighters in UFC history, stemming from his welterweight championship run. He earned the belt over Robbie Lawler at UFC 201 via first-round knockout before defending the belt three times.

Despite approaching his 40th birthday, Woodley seems intent on keeping his combat sports career intact for the foreseeable future. In the meantime, he appears to be handling the knockout loss to Paul well, which has no doubt earned him the praise of many fans.

Pulev’s sole other professional boxing loss came against former champion, the heralded, Wladimir Klitschko back in 2014, with the European Championship gold medalist scoring wins over the likes of Tony Thompson, Derek Chisora, Kevin Johnson, Hughie Fury, and Rydell Brooker.

Khamzat Chimaev Calls For Neil Mangy Fight: ‘Let Me Eat This Guy’

Khamzat Chimaev had one of the most impressive starts within the UFC that we have seen for a very long time, smashing his way through his first four opponents ‘Borz’ is now looking for his fifth.

Khamzat Chimaev had one of the most impressive starts within the UFC that we have seen for a very long time, smashing his way through his first four opponents ‘Borz’ is now looking for his fifth.

Chimaev has been extremely active on social media calling out pretty much every fighter on the UFC roster in hopes for scheduling his next bout, however, Dana White has admitted that finding an opponent has been a lot harder than anticipated.

The likes of Nate Diaz, Kamaru Usman, Colby Covington and most recently Belal Muhammad have all been potential matchups that ‘Borz’ has been calling for, however, given his time in the UFC only consisting of four fights many of these more experienced UFC fighters are opting against running such a high risk in a fight against Chimaev.

“@danawhite let me eat this guy bro neil_magny170,” Chimaev wrote on Instagram.

Khamzat Chimaev vs Neil Magny?

Following reports on social media, it appears now that an opponent has been found, and a more than willing one in the form of welterweight contender Neil Magny.

Neil Magny has been vocal on social media for quite some time now trying to not only get himself a fight but get himself a fight against Chimaev. Dana White would go on to say that Magny is one of few fighters and if not currently the only one in the division willing to accept a deal and test himself against the undefeated prospect.

Magny last competed at UFC Fight Night: Rodriguez vs. Waterson where he was able to beat Geoff Neal via unanimous decision. Khamzat Chimaev’s last outing came at his return following a year off against Li Jingliang and UFC 267 where Chimaev was able to secure the submission victory inside of the first round.

Who do you think would win a fight between Khamzat Chimaev and Neil Magny?

Michael Bisping Gives Props To Jake Paul: ‘I’ve Never Slept Anyone Like That’

Michael Bisping has put praise onto Jake Paul following his devastating KO of Tyron Woodley this past weekend whilst speaking on an episode of his Believe You Me podcast.

Paul and Woodley faced each other once again come Saturday night and although many fans again were disappointed with the performances of both, that all soon changed when Paul landed an overhand-right which sent Woodley faceplanting to the canvas in the 6^th round.

The former UFC Champion praised Paul for the power he was able to generate within that shot and highlighted how it wasn’t something he was able to do during his long and successful career.

“I’ll tell you this. Here’s another thing, he’s knocked out everybody that he’s faced. He knocked out Tyron Woodley, Ben Askren, Nate Robinson. And I’ll tell you what, that knockout of Woodley there – I’ve had about 40 professional MMA fights, boxing fights, kickboxing fights – I’ve never slept anyone like that. You know what I mean? That was a f***ing knockout and a half.”

**Michael Bisping labels Paul vs. Woodley 2 a ‘sh*t show’**

However, like many fans, Michael Bisping was disappointed with the overall performance of both men inside the ring. Until the knockout blow came there had been very little of anything from either fighter.

“I did watch it, the debacle that it was. It wasn’t really a fight, it’s always tricky talking about Tyron Woodley because I like Tyron a lot, but what a s*** show! What a s*** show that was, f*** me, even their own commentators were talking s*** about it and saying, ‘what is this?’ I forget what the exact quotes were but they weren’t very complimentary. There was a lot of hugging, there wasn’t too much fighting and fortunately for Jake Paul, he managed to get the knockout in the sixth round.” (Transcribed by sportskeeda.com)
