A legacy is a delicate thing, and Chris Weidman believes Tyron Woodley may have severely damaged his after being knocked out by Jake Paul earlier this month.
Woodley served as a short-notice replacement for Tommy Fury, who was set to meet Paul before a broken rib and chest bacterial infection forced him to withdraw from the fight. The ‘Chosen One’ had already suffered a split decision defeat to the ‘Problem Child’, but still wanted another opportunity to prove he could beat the YouTuber-turned-boxer. Woodley was unable to do that in the rematch and got melted in the sixth round with a hellacious right hand from Paul.
