Tyron Woodley has revealed that he wants to take on former UFC commentator and competitor Dan Hardy, but only in an MMA-styled matchup.
‘The Chosen One’ made an appearance on The MMA Houron Wednesday and responded to comments regarding a potential matchup against Hardy. ‘The Outlaw’ had earlier stated in the year that he had signed a contract to box Tyron Woodley during 2022.
Tyron Woodley didn’t confirm whether this is true or not, but he did have some strong words for Hardy himself.
“I don’t even want to give Dan Hardy the clout”
“I want to say some bullsh*t about him, but I really don’t want to give him the clout. One, who gives a f*ck about a dyed-up mohawk right now. Stop dude, you f*cking 90. Get the dye off, you not ‘The Outlaw’ no more. You ain’t swung at a face in 10 years, so stop with The Outlaw sh*t.
“They were talking to me about him and there was some good money out there. There’s been a lot of good money out there for a lot of different fights, so I’m going to look at it, but I was thinking about the boxing thing with Dan. I think it would be letting him off the hook. If I fought him in MMA it would be a little elbow, a little knee, a little b*tch slap. I need some hands open so I can do some of that. I don’t know, potentially we’ll see.”

Tyron Woodley Feels People Hate On His Success
Woodley was on the receiving end of two losses in boxing last year at the hands of Jake Paul but despite this, he now feels other combat athletes are looking to him for the big fight paychecks.
“There was some talking to [Hardy’s team] because a lot of these dudes — and he’s not the only one, a lot of these dudes have piggybacked off of me — what I did in MMA put me in position where I can do certain things in film, music, and other fights in other organizations. I’m the only real free agent out here to be honest. Who else can do whatever the f*ck they want to do, when they want to do it, fight whoever they want to fight, no contract, nobody holding me down, and I’m making a lot of money?”
“So people are gonna hate me. They’re gonna hate on me. They’re gonna see my opportunities, but they haven’t gotten the wisdom yet. My goals and what God has for me and the windows He opened, you will never be able to access it and you can never close my window. So when people look at you and compare themselves, you’re not supposed to compare yourself to another. Don’t look at what I got, look at what you were supposed to get, look at your vision.
I think when guys take their eyes off of their vision and what the f*ck they’re supposed to do and start looking at another man; one, it’s suspect. Two, it’s kind of like you’re taking your mind off of your goal. Don’t look at what I did and want the payday I got. Ain’t none of y’all been no five-time world champions, none of them. So what are y’all talking about?” (transcribed by MMAfighting.com)

Who do you think would win in an MMA matchup between the Tyron Woodley & Dan Hardy?
Since turning to the sport of boxing, Youtube sensation Jake Paul has been the talking point in the world of combat sports. It’s easy to see why after making a substantial amount of money in 2021.

Since turning to the sport of boxing, Youtube sensation Jake Paul has been the talking point in the world of combat sports.
It’s easy to see why after making a substantial amount of money in 2021.
Forbes conducted a series of the highest paid Youtube stars for 2021, in which Paul placed No. 2 on the list. The 24-year-old has estimated earnings of $40 million from his boxing career, also collecting an additional $5 million from his videos, endorsements, and other businesses on the side.
Since then, Jake Paul has revealed the $40 million estimations were slightly lower than what he earned for the year.
Jake Paul Comments on Forbes List
“True story on my momma. So my dad called me today and asked if the numbers that were reported today were inflated,” Paul wrote on his Instagram story. “He said ’I knew you made close to that, but did you really make that?
“The answer was, ‘Yes, dad and in fact the numbers are slightly low.’ Mind you, I don’t lie to my dad and he knows everything about my life. Even my brother thought the numbers were lower (according to my dad’s conversation with him). A lot of times Forbes inflates the number made. In 2018 when I made the list, I made $17 million and they reported $22 million I believe. On this day, they are actually behind, and the numbers are actually low. Most celebs would say, ‘Thank the Lord I’m so blessed,’ but I say any regular motherf*cker could do this sh*t if you a sicko and ready to die for your cause.”
The “Problem Child” unquestionably made his presence known in not only the world of boxing but in MMA too. Paul ended the year with a (3-0) record, including two stoppages victories over former MMA champions, in Ben Askren and Tyron Woodley.
The credibility of Paul’s opponents has consistently been questioned between the ropes. Still, in September, he gained respect after earning a split decision victory over former UFC champion and knockout puncher Tryon Woodley. A fight that generated close to 500,000 PPV buys.
Four months later, Paul was met with Woodley for the second time, which resulted in Woodley faceplanting the canvas in round six. While Jake Paul added another viral knockout to his forever-growing collection.
It’s still unknown who Paul will compete against next, with the Ohio-born fighter calling out names such as Conor McGregor, Dustin Poirier and Nate Diaz. Whoever Paul ends up fighting next can expect a healthy payday.

Jake Paul has responded to claims that his sixth-round KO over Tyron Woodley was lucky.
In the rematch, both Paul and Woodley hesitant were to throw much volume but in the sixth round, Paul landed a vicious right hand that put Woodley out cold. Although many were critical of his performance, according to “The Problem Child,” he was setting up that shot the entire fight.
“I’ve done that to every single person that I’ve fought,” Paul said during an episode of Boxing with Chris Mannix as a rebuttal to those who claim the punch was lucky. “So it’s not like I’ve knocked out everyone in a violent fashion in one way or another. My power is only increasing, and I set up the shot, you watch the whole sequence.
“I think I see his hand come flying down, I think again, go to the body, and then bring it up top with all my power and brought my hips through,” Paul continued. “It’s not lucky, look at all the people that Tyron Woodley has been in there with, and he’s never been KO’d like that.”
With the KO win over Tyron Woodley, Jake Paul improved to 5-0 and continues to be a big name in boxing. However, after his last win, he said he wants some time off and will likely return in the summer. Who he fights in his return is uncertain.
Regardless, Jake Paul is still set on continuing his boxing career following his violent KO win over Woodley in December. The fight also marked the end of his two-fight Showtime deal.

The polarizing YouTuber turned boxer Jake Paul has offered his services to the UFC and Dana White at a discounted price if certain demands are met.
Paul is fresh off his sixth-round knockout over former UFC champion Tyron Woodley to wrap up his meteoric rise in 2021. He earned back-to-back wins over Woodley along with a first-round knockout over another UFC fighter, Ben Askren.
Paul and White have gone back-and-forth on social media for months, each issuing various challenges to one another. Paul has expressed interest in eventually transitioning to MMA later on, and specifically signing a one-fight deal to compete on the highest platform in the UFC.
During a recent tweet, Paul offered to sign with the promotion for just $50,000 if White and the promotion offers benefits to their fighters.
The Jake Paul, Dana White Feud Continues
“5 days have passed & while I’ve agreed to be tested, Dana has vanished like Casper,” Paul said. “Dana: my 1 fight deal, I will fight for $50K, the new min. You make millions off of me & all of UFC fighters benefit from the new min, rev share, and healthcare.”
Paul has called on the UFC, and more specifically White, to treat its roster better. The social media personality has agreed to be randomly tested for steroids if the UFC and White agree to increase fighter pay and provide additional healthcare benefits.
White and others have accused Paul of using performance-enhancing drugs since the beginning of the year, and their beef has turned more personal in recent weeks. Last year, Paul went as far as threatening to assault White if the two ran into each other in Las Vegas.
It’s unclear if either side will formally agree to some sort of a deal, but it’s clear that the White/Paul saga doesn’t have an end in sight.

Jake Paul has denied the reported number of buys for his latest boxing fight, although he has admitted the fight didn’t do too well.
Earlier this week, DAZN reported that Paul’s rematch fight against Tyron Woodley did a low number on pay-per-view. It reportedly sold approximately 65,000 buys. The figure for online purchases of the event are not known at the moment.
Paul has denied this rough figure but also admitted his disappointment with what he knows about the sales.
“The PPV number rumors are b*******,” said Paul in a Twitter post. “1st fight [with] Woodley we sold 500k+. Numbers for this one are still rolling in but still looking positive. Not my best business night.”
Paul gives credit to Showtime and Woodley for putting on the show, also using the opportunity to take a shot at his opposition.
“Shoutout to Showtime for riding with me and all the fighters on the card and Tyron for not being a b**** like most of these “fighters” are,” said Paul.
Masvidal Mocks Paul over Report
UFC fighter Jorge Masvidal has run with the report about the PPV, using the stat to mock the celebrity-turned-boxer.
Masvidal talked about the reported sales and used the statistic to distance himself from a potential fight against Paul.
“Bitch boy can’t afford the big boys. Never again do I want to hear my name associated with the fake,” said Masvidal via Twitter.
Paul was originally set to face undefeated boxer Tommy Fury earlier this month. He was given Woodley as an opponent after injury forced Fury out of the matchup.
