Michael Bisping Blasts Rumors That Jake Paul vs Tyron Woodley Fight Was Rigged

Jake Paul defeated Tyron Woodley in a boxing match back in August, which many fans believed to be nothing but a fluke. Jake Paul rejected a rematch with Tyron Woodley despite him getting a tattoo. However, as luck would have it, Tommy Fury had to pull out from his boxing match, giving Woodley a chance to face Jake Paul once again. 

On December 18, Jake Paul and Tyron Woodley duked it out once again, with Woodley being determined to avenge his loss. However, it didn’t quite turn out the way Woodley had hoped.

While the first half of the boxing match was quite lacklustre, the second half more than made up for it. During the 6th round, Jake Paul did the unthinkable and knocked out Tyron Woodley with a vicious right hand that dropped him

Some believe a secret hand gesture gave away the knockout punch and the fight was rigged. Immediately after Jake Paul’s shocking victory, fans suspected the match as rigged from the start. Due to this, ‘rigged’ and ‘staged’ began trending on social media.

While speaking on his podcast, MMA legend Michael Bisping talked about Jake Paul and Tyron Woodley’s match. He blasted rumors that it was staged, as it looked very real to him.

It’s ridiculous. … Anytime somebody gets beaten, knocked out, something like that, they start. These conspiracy theories start going around. There’s no way Tyron Woodley’s gonna do that. Secondly, I mean, I’ve seen enough knockouts to know when one was real. That looked f**king real.

The kid can bang, simple as that. He’s a big, strong, young kid. … Boom. … That’s not a fix!”

Jake Paul recently claimed that he can make $250 million from boxing as well. The Problem Child is currently taking time off after defeating Tyron Woodley, so it remains to be seen what is next in store for him.
