As Woodley responded positively, he fired back at Paul's clear attempt at insinuation by addressing his apparel. 'The Problem Child' wore a black T-Shirt with a gang sign along with five chains around his neck.
Tyron Woodley questioned Jake Paul's authenticity in terms of being able to pull a look like that off. When Paul accused Woodley of pretending to be "from the streets," 'The Chosen One' said:

“Speed is what you’re gonna see. Bumps is what you’re gonna have when you leave out of that ring. You’re gonna see speed. Speaking of bumps, those little bumps you have on your face kind of alarm me. You wouldn’t be happening to be taking PEDs, are you?”
