Helwani then went on to speak with both fighters with Woodley, who has only been knocked out once in his storied MMA career while KO’ing seven of his 19 victims, up first.
“Easiest fight of my career and biggest purse of my career all in one night,” the Missouri native said. “Basically, they brought me in to take out the trash. [I] can’t wait to shut this b*tch up.
“This is getting done for the culture, the whole MMA and boxing community, to rid this guy of combat sports,” he vowed.

Of course Jake Paul also talked some trash:
Paul wrote: “Tyron ran his mouth a little too much in the locker room when I knocked out his best friend Ben [Askren, in the first round of their April fight] and earned himself a top spot on the Problem Child death list.”
“Tyron’s a seasoned striker who has fought the best MMA fighters in the world but will be dropped by a Disney teen star in two rounds,” he predicted.

This is just the beginning..
Paul once again not fighting a real boxer, and the guy he’s fighting also happens to be 40 years old.
I assume at some point they’re going to give Paul a real opponent. Expect plenty more trash talk to come. . .
