In what round did Jake Paul knockout Tyron Woodley?
Jake Paul knocked out Tyron Woodley in the sixth round of his second fight with the UFC veteran. 'The Problem Child' faced woodley on 18th December, 2021 at Amalie Arena in a highly anticipated rematch.
The fight was pretty uneventful up until the sixth round. With excessive clinching and lack of action, the fans were starting to show their frustrations with boos and jeers. It looked like the fight might just go the distance yet again.
However, the arena was brought to life as Jake Paul landed a flush overhand right hand to knock Tyron Woodley out cold. A feint from Paul deceived Woodley and as 'The Chosen One' dropped his hands, he was hit with a bomb that put him to sleep.

Tommy Fury was initially scheduled as Jake Paul's opponent on the card. However, the former was forced to withdraw from the fight due to a rib injury.
This situation opened up an opportunity for Tyron Woodley to take the fight on short notice and attempt to avenge the loss he suffered to Paul in their first outing but he failed to do so.
