UFC Welterweight Gilbert Burns does not have confidence in Tyron Woodley as he prepares to face Jake Paul.
Gilbert Burns recently spoke to TMZ Sports on the upcoming Jake Paul vs Tyron Woodley boxing fight for SHOWTIME. The 170lb fighter was not shy when it came to his opinion on the former UFC fighter, and his chances against YouTuber turned pro-boxer Jake Paul.
Burns has a win over Woodley in the octagon, going to a unanimous decision after five rounds at UFC on ESPN: Woodley vs Burns. Gilbert Burns dominated the fight, and it was the second in a downwards spiral for the former UFC Welterweight Champion, Tyron Woodley.
Woodley lost two other fights following that contest in March 2020 and was subsequently dropped from the UFC roster.

“I don’t see any easy fight for Tyron Woodley", Gilbert Burns would begin. "And I see the pressure’s on Tyron Woodley. He has to win that fight; otherwise, it’s going to be harder to recover from."
"So a lot of pressure on Tyron Woodley going into this fight,” Burns continued. “I don’t have a prediction for this fight (but) I’m not that confident that Tyron Woodley’s going to pull that one-off.”
