Henry Cejudo Tyron Woodley

Former UFC flyweight and bantamweight titleholder Henry Cejudo isn’t a fan of Tyron Woodley‘s new ‘I love Jake Paul’ tattoo, and thinks the former welterweight champion could be the new ‘cringe king’ of MMA.

Cejudo has remained in the public eye since retiring from the UFC last year, following his win over Dominick Cruz in his bantamweight title defense at UFC 249. He is still training down in Arizona and has hinted at a possible return to the octagon to potentially face UFC featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski.

Cejudo was always known to be a bit cringe during his time in the UFC, especially beginning when he won the flyweight title over Demetrious Johnson at UFC 227. But he thinks that Woodley may take the top spot amongst active fighters in combat sports.

Henry Cejudo thinks Tyron Woodley is unnaturally cringe

“I’m gonna have to give it to Tyron Woodley because it’s so unnatural,” Cejudo said in an interview with MMA Mania. “He so doesn’t see it. Colby Covington, he’s playing a character, it’s a persona. But Tyron Woodley, he just doesn’t see it, man. It’s gone wild, it’s a circus, man.

“He’s just so cringe,” Cejudo continued. “The dude has an ‘I love you, Jake Paul’ [tattoo] on his middle finger, and his movie sucks. But I’ll tell you what, he can promote a fight. He’s got a mouthpiece on ’em, but his actions don’t speak louder than his words. You want the gold? You got the gold, brother.”

Woodley fell to Jake Paul by a split decision earlier this summer and is hellbent on eventually getting a rematch with the controversial boxer turned YouTuber. Much to the chagrin of Cejudo, Woodley agreed to get a tattoo if Paul agreed to an immediate rematch, which hasn’t materialized. Paul will reportedly face Tommy Fury later this year.

It’s no secret that Henry Cejudo is seen by many as the ‘king of cringe’ in MMA, but he thinks former UFC champion Tyron Woodley isn’t far off.

Cejudo has remained in the public eye despite retiring from the UFC following his win over Dominick Cruz at UFC 249. Aside from his greatness inside of the Octagon, he was (and still is, to an extent) known as a bit of an odd character in the eyes of many fans.

But Cejudo thinks Woodley deserves to be in the conversation when discussing the most cringe athletes in combat sports today.

Henry Cejudo blasts Tyron Woodley, labels him as second-most cringe

“He’s just so cringey,” Cejudo said during a recent interview with MMA Mania. “The dude has an ‘I love you, Jake Paul’ tattoo on his middle finger. But I’ll tell you what, he can promote a fight. He’s got a mouthpiece on ’em, but his actions don’t speak louder than his words. He lost to a YouTuber.”

“Colby Covington, he’s playing a character,” Cejudo continued. “But, Tyron Woodley, he just doesn’t see it. It’s gone wild.”

Woodley recently lost his boxing debut to YouTuber turned boxer Jake Paul by a split decision, and is vying for an immediate rematch. Paul has made his opinions about a rematch clear and is turning his attention to a potential fight with Tommy Fury.

As for Cejudo, he’s contemplated returning to the UFC to challenge for the featherweight title against Alexander Volkanovski. The two combatants have gone back and forth in the media and online in recent months. Cejudo has also hinted at a return to bantamweight to fight either Aljamain Sterling or Petr Yan.

It’s safe to say that Cejudo isn’t a fan of Woodley’s approach to promoting fights, but the self-proclaimed cringe king isn’t willing to leave the throne anytime soon.

Do you agree with Henry Cejudo that Tyron Woodley is right behind him on the cringe meter?

Jake Paul Formally Announces Fight With Tommy Fury On Dec. 18

After previous unconfirmed reports, Jake Paul confirmed the fight via Twitter on Friday.

Jake Paul, Tommy Fury Poster

If Tyron Woodley does get a rematch against Jake Paul, he’s going to have to wait for it now that Paul has formally announced his fight with Tommy Fury.

After previous unconfirmed reports, Jake Paul confirmed the fight via Twitter on Friday.

“Pucker up Timmy, it’s time to kiss ur last name and ur family’s boxing legacy goodbye. DEC 18th Im changing this wankers name to Tommy Fumbles and celebrating with Tom Brady. Tickets on sale November 10th!”

As seen on the poster, the fight will be available on Showtime PPV and will take place in the Amalie Arena in Tampa, Florida. And as Paul referenced in his announcement, Fury will literally be putting his name on the line.

Paul Makes New Bet With Fury After Cashing In On Woodley Bet

On August 29, Jake Paul defeated Tyron Woodley via split decision. When the fight was over, Woodley was already campaigning for a rematch while both competitors were still in the ring. Paul agreed to grant Woodley the rematch if he followed through on their tattoo bet and immediately get the “I Love Jake Paul” tattoo.

Weeks later, Woodley finally caved and got the tattoo, hoping that this would seal the rematch. Instead, Paul has a new opponent and a new bet.

Jake Paul and Tommy Fury have been trash-talking one another for some time, including backstage after the Paul/Woodley bout. Fury had competed in the undercard of the event, picking up a unanimous decision victory over Anthony Taylor. When the two ran into one another, they had a heated exchange, which set the stage for a future bout.

Paul made the negotiations between himself and Fury public, offering the Englishman a $1 million payday to accept the fight. Fury rejected the offer but things took a turn when big brother Tyson got involved in the mix.

Tommy’s older brother, lineal heavyweight champion Tyson Fury, stated that if Tommy loses to Jake Paul, he would force his little brother to change his last name. This sparked an idea from “The Problem Child,” who made the following bet proposal: If Fury beats him, then Fury gets paid an additional $500,000 on top of the $1 million base salary. However, if Paul defeats Fury, Fury must legally change his name to “Tommy Fumbles.”

Fury quickly accepted Paul’s conditions, which led to the following celebration from Paul on social media.

“Ladies and gentlemen, the bank robbery has commenced!” a giddy Paul announced to his Twitter followers.

Here’s a look at the terms as laid out in the official contract:

In the wake of Tyron Woodley’s defeat to Jake Paul, Dan Hardy believes he dusts “The Chosen One” and takes him out within two rounds.

Dan Hardy, 39, has not fought since 2012 but has teased his return to mixed martial arts several times now. In spite of all the talks of returning he has yet to make his comeback. Nevertheless, he is stoking the fire with Tyron Woodley as the two have recently traded barbs in a private text message conversation.

Speaking with Jimmy Smith on SiriusXM, Hardy continued to prod at Woodley. “The Outlaw” firmly believes he would stop Woodley in two rounds and cited the former welterweight champion’s decline in activity during fights as fuel for his fire.

“Of course, if he shows up even twice as good as he did against Jake Paul, I would stop him in two rounds. Hardy stated. He just doesn’t have the work rate anymore. He didn’t have the confidence to go anymore and I get it, it does pass you by. I’m probably sounding a bit hypocritical here cause people are gonna say the same thing. It’s been nearly 10 years since I fought but in my head, I’m never gonna retire.” 

As of this writing, Tyron Woodley continues to call for the rematch against Jake Paul. Following his split decision loss to “The Problem Child”, weeks later, Woodley got the ‘I love Jake Paul’ tattoo.

It remains to be seen if Paul will bite on Woodley’s latest offering. Meanwhile, it appears “The Chosen One” has another big name lined up to fight him as Dan Hardy continues to throw his name into the hat. While Hardy proceeds to weigh his fighting options, should he finally make his move, MMANews.com will be the first to inform you.

Jake Paul Points Out “Loophole” In Woodley’s “I Love Jake Paul” Tattoo

The “I Love Jake Paul” tattoo that Tyron Woodley got branded on him was not the rematch-sealing gesture Woodley had hoped it would be. Prior to the Jake Paul versus Tyron Woodley boxing match on August 29, the tattoo stipulation was clear: the loser gets tattooed with “I Love <Insert Winner’s Name>.” Immediately after the […]

The “I Love Jake Paul” tattoo that Tyron Woodley got branded on him was not the rematch-sealing gesture Woodley had hoped it would be.

Prior to the Jake Paul versus Tyron Woodley boxing match on August 29, the tattoo stipulation was clear: the loser gets tattooed with “I Love <Insert Winner’s Name>.” Immediately after the fight ended, the stipulation was amended: Should Woodley get this tattoo, it would secure him the rematch that he demanded in the ring when Paul was announced the winner.

After Paul stated that the tattoo window had elapsed, Woodley got and displayed his brand-new tattoo anyway.

Before Woodley got the tattoo and one day after their fight, Paul took to Twitter to lay out the following guidelines to ensure all the expectations for the tattoo were aboveboard:

1. 3×2 inches at least

2. Can’t get it covered

3. Permanent

4. Must post on social media

5. Has to be visible with shorts and shirt on“

In a recent interview with TalkSport.com, Paul pointed out a loophole that he believes Woodley is trying to create, and it’s one that isn’t associated with the above guidelines.

“Let’s see what happens,” Paul said of a rematch against Woodley. “He was like three or four weeks late on the tattoo, he let the hype die down,” the 24-year-old explained. “I think he had a call with his accountants and he saw how much taxes he had to pay and he was like ‘oh, man, I need to get this tattoo right now.’

“The weird thing about it, and I’m saying this on record right now, is the tattoo is on his middle finger and it’s done in a way where he can change it to say ‘f*** Jake Paul’. He did it so the I looks like an F or could be changed to that, so I think personally he’s going to change it to say f*** Jake Paul on his middle finger.

“It goes perfectly with that, so I’m calling it out right now. He’s trying to find loopholes and be slick but he’s not as smart as he thinks he is,” Paul said.

This response to Woodley’s tattoo goes into much more depth than Paul’s previous, trollish one from last week. Nevertheless, it still falls shy of confirming that a rematch between the two will take place. You can therefore chalk this up to being the second consecutive response from Paul that Woodley won’t want to hear and one that may make “The Chosen One” choose to modify his “I Love Jake Paul” tattoo to the explicit remix that Paul suspects is already coming.

Do you agree with Jake Paul? Is Tyron Woodley trying to be slick with his interpretation of the “I Love Jake Paul” tattoo?

Recently, former UFC welterweights Tyron Woodley and Dan Hardy had a heated exchange on social media, and it now appears that their spat continued into the DMs.

Dan Hardy has been among the most critical of Tyron Woodley’s performance against Jake Paul in their August 29th boxing match. To be specific, Hardy thought Woodley looked like a “sack of shit” in the fight. Hardy’s roasting of “The Chosen One” only picked up after Woodley followed through on the “I Love Jake Paul” tattoo bet, which is what ignited their heated social media exchange this week.

Now, Hardy has released the alleged DMs between himself and Woodley that immediately followed their public bickering. Below you can find a screenshot of the exchange courtesy of Submission Radio, accompanied by the transcript.

Woodley: “Keep my name out your mouth. You stay smiling in my face and the quickest to talk shit behind cameras and keyboards.”

Hardy: “Mate, I’d talk shit to your face. You talk a big game and then shit the bed. You stood and stared at the kid for eight rounds and then call for an immediate rematch. Laughable.”

Woodley: “You never tasted gold. You are a mosquito. I’m glad your post got you a little taste of greatness. When was your last fight? Don’t worry. No one cares.”

Hardy: “When was the last time you showed up to fight?”

Woodley: “Key words….when I step in there. You washed. I’ll mail you a dryer for Christmas. Be well, mate. You been trying to tell me how to behave at the top for ages. I’ll add a (signed) t-shirt, too.”

Hardy: “You’re jokes, mate. Good luck with the rematch. Try hit him this time.”

There currently is no update on whether Jake Paul will rematch Woodley or not. Hardy himself has expressed an interest in returning to completion by fighting Woodley, and the mutuality of that interest may be growing every time the two legends interact.

Who do you think “won” this alleged war of words between Tyron Woodley and Dan Hardy?
