Chris Weidman is the latest high profile MMA fighter to suggest that former UFC champion Tyron Woodley destroyed his legacy in his recent knockout loss to Jake Paul.

‘The Chosen One’ first fought Paul in September and ran the YouTuber close over eight rounds before slipping to a split decision defeat. On December 18, Woodley attempted to avenge the loss but was shockingly knocked out cold inside six rounds.

Since then, Woodley has been ridiculed online and Weidman thinks ‘T-Wood’ will struggle to bounce back from such an embarrassing loss.

“Damn, Tyron Woodley is going to have to live with that. It seems like they’re just comparing him to Ben Askren now,” Weidman said on the latest episode of ‘Won’t Back Down’. “He’s not going to get another chance, like that’s it. I don’t know who he’s going to fight that we give him the draw and excitement that he would need to like elevate him back… I think his legacy has definitely been tarnished, which sucks to say.”  (Transcribed by Sportskeeda)

Chris Weidman Is Not The First Fighter To Suggest Tyron Woodley Has Tarnished His Legacy

During a recent episode of The TimboSugarShow, Sean O’Malley gave a similar assessment of Woodley’s legacy following the second Paul loss.

“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.”

Woodley, who is 39 years old, has lost six consecutive fights but has shown no interest in retirement. The former welterweight plans to stay busy in 2022 and expects to fight four times.

Do you agree with Chris Weidman? Did Tyron Woodley destroy his great legacy in his knock out loss to Jake Paul?

Hector Lombard Wants To ‘Beat Up’ Tyron Woodley Next

Hector Lombard has renewed his calls for a fight with Tyron Woodley less than a week on from ‘The Chosen One’ getting viciously knocked out by Jake Paul.

Lombard and Woodley previously had a run-in at Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship 19 back in July. The former Bellator middleweight champion accused Woodley of trying to steal his side chick and things got pretty heated.

Hector Lombard Is Still Salty About His Side Chick

Several months on from their run-in Lombard is still holding a grudge against ‘T-Wood’ and would love nothing more than to settle their beef in the BKFC boxing ring.

“I’ve always been interested to fight that fake f*ck,” Lombard told MMA Junkie. “I told you guys a long time ago, he’s a fake f*ck. He tried to pick up other people’s girls – not only mine, any girl that moved around, he tried to pick her up. Like, he feels that he deserves everything, and listen, it’s not about the girl because everybody, you know, when I made a post, everybody’s thinking about that I have feelings for the girl. No, I have feelings for the action of this clown that you think is your friend. You think like he can be your buddy, and here he is trying to get a hold of the girl.

“I think we need to get that fight out of the way, and I’m not going to let go until I get that fight,” Lombard added. “His punk ass needs to get beat up by me, and then I would be a happy man.”

Lombard claims it’s a fight he has been chasing for some time having previously begged the UFC matchmakers to book him against Woodley.

“I even went and I was begging Dana White first, and then I went directly and I begged Lorenzo to get me a fight, and Lorenzo told me like, ‘Oh, let’s see what’s going to happen,’” Lombard said. “But I went to beg Lorenzo. ‘Lorenzo, get me that fight!’”

Cormier Criticizes Woodley For KO Meme Contest, Blames Jake Paul

Daniel Cormier, Tyron Woodley

Daniel Cormier isn’t a fan of how Tyron Woodley has handled himself following his sixth-round knockout loss to Jake Paul.

Woodley has rolled with the punches since the devastating defeat, even going as far as hosting a fan contest on his Instagram for the best knockout meme. He ended up paying one fan $5,000 for a meme that went viral earlier this week.

Woodley appears to be optimistic about his fighting future and is handling the loss on his terms. However, Cormier doesn’t like the optics of Woodley making fun of himself in light of the vicious knockout.

Cormier explained his position during a recent episode of ESPN’s DC & RC.

“It’s a bad look. And you know what’s worse? [What happened] after,” Cormier said of Woodley. “I don’t know what T-Wood was doing on social media. He pulls the knockout. He made a contest about [making memes of himself], it’s like Jake Paul is beating these dudes so bad, that they start to make fun of themselves.” (h/t Sportskeeda)

Tyron Woodley Looks To Get Back To His Old Winning Ways

Woodley took the fight on just days’ notice after Tommy Fury pulled out due to an injury. He was allegedly getting ready for a fight in January when the call came for a rematch with Paul.

Woodley has appeared forward-thinking after the loss to Paul, hinting at a busy 2022. He’s planning on potential boxing and MMA fights as he approaches his 40th birthday.

Woodley has had his fair share of struggles as of late. Before his back-to-back losses to Paul in the boxing ring, he lost four-straight bouts in the UFC before ultimately parting ways with the promotion.

Daniel Cormier Rips Tyron Woodley For Mocking His Own Loss

Daniel Cormier was far from happy with Tyron Woodley creating a meme-making contest about himself following his loss to Jake Paul.

Despite suffering another embarrassing defeat, Woodley was in very good spirits, to the point that he offered a $5,000 reward to whoever could create the best meme of said loss, and he has already picked a winner. 

Even though Woodley had no problem taking shots at himself, Daniel Cormier was far less than happy. During the most recent episode of ESPN’s “DC & RC” YouTube show, “DC” said:

“It’s a bad look. And you know what’s worse? [what happened] after. I don’t know what T-Wood was doing on social media. He pulls the knockout. He made a contest [about making memes of himself], it’s like Jake Paul beating these dudes so bad, that they start to make fun of themselves.” 

DC explains the dangers of fighters like Tyron Woodley facing Paul

In the same episode, Cormier explained the dangers of fighters like Woodley taking on someone like Paul:

“They’re going to fight this kid under his ruleset. This kid has all the time in the world to train. Kid has money. Kid has ways of improving, and honestly, he’s much better than people give him credit for. Kid can fight a little bit.” (Transcribed by Sportskeeda)

After knocking out Woodley, Paul has since proceeded to call out Jorge Masvidal and Nate Diaz. The former has seemingly declined the challenge, whilst Diaz has not yet surfaced to respond. 

Do you think Daniel Cormier is right? Is Tyron Woodley mocking himself a bad look?

Tommy Fury has broken his silence following Jake Paul vs. Tyron Woodley 2.

The Love Island star was supposed to square off against Paul this past weekend but was forced out of the bout after suffering broken ribs and a chest infection in camp.

Woodley stepped in on short notice with the hope of avenging the split decision defeat he suffered at the hands of ‘The Problem Child’ earlier this year. Things didn’t quite pan on the way he planned and in the sixth round of their rematch, Woodley was knocked out cold by the former Disney actor. Fury stayed radio silent over the weekend. The 22-year-old was so quiet that Paul took to social media to suggest Fury has now interest in rebooking their fight.

On Wednesday, Fury spoke out for the first time about Paul vs. Woodley 2.

“I think it’s a pretty bad place you’re in when the commentator’s whose commentating your fight says, ‘It’s getting pretty hard to watch now,’” Fury said in an interview posted by Frank Warren’s Queensberry Promotions. “And they’re joking between the commentators, ‘Who won that round? Well, nobody.’ That went on for well more than half the fight. I was just watching it and it was very upsetting for me to sit there and watch it. I’m not gonna beat around the bush because I know if I’d have been there it wouldn’t have gone six, seven rounds or whatever it was. It wouldn’t go there because for the first four or five rounds, the guy didn’t throw a punch. He didn’t throw anything. They were just wrestling each other.

“So for me to sit there and watch that and it was meant to be my night and that was meant to be my time, you get everybody talking sh*t back and forth, ‘he’s done this and done that,’ the people that know me know how much of a bitter pill that was. They know what I’ve been going through and that’s it. It was hard to watch because that should have been me in Tampa Bay, Florida. Thousands of people packed that arena, live all across the world, that should have been me and it will be me.”

Fury wants to rearrange his fight with Paul and sees no benefit to the YouTuber calling out MMA stars such as Nate Diaz, Jorge Masvidal and Conor McGregor.

“I don’t get what he’s trying to achieve by calling out UFC people,” Fury said. “He wants to be a boxer doesn’t he? So fight a boxer.

“Calling out all these wrestlers and non-boxers, in a cage they’d kill him any day of the week but let’s be honest and let’s be serious here: would he beat Nate Diaz [in boxing]? One hundred percent. Would he beat any other MMA super fighter, 100 percent, because they’re not boxers. I’ve really got nothing else to say on that because I’m not entertaining that. He’s the fight I want next and he’s the fight that’s gonna happen next.”

Fury concluded the interview by sending a message to Paul, he said.

“My message to Mr. Paul is what’s happened is very unfortunate. I understand he’s gonna be angry. He’s gone through training camps, expenses, but I’m angry also and we’ve got a lot of unfinished business. I think we need to get this year out the way, call this a write-off, you enjoy time off and I think we’ll meet up in 2022. We’ll get this fight done and get this unfinished business out of the way. Everybody wants to see this fight.

“You want to proclaim yourself as a boxer. Stop calling out the UFC people. Come and fight me like you were going to. Yeah, what happened was unfair. My fault, my bad, hold my hands up, what can I do? Ungodly things happen. But next year, let’s get it done bright and early, let’s get back in training and let’s give this whole world the fight that they want to see. Let’s see if you’re the real boxer or not. You’re getting all this and you’re getting all that that you’ve never fought a boxer before and you still haven’t. Let’s get this fight on, let’s get this fight done, I’ll be ready to go in March. So I’ll see you then.” (Transcribed by MMA Fighting)
