Aljamain Sterling spoke about Jake Paul vs. Tyron Woodley fight being rigged, labeling the accusations as 'nonsense'

Aljamain Sterling reposted the first video where a user pointed out that Jake Paul signaled to Tyron Wodley to drop his guard, making way for 'The Problem Child's overhand right.

Sterling took to Twitter and said:

"I really hate ppl sometimes...I’m going to bed man. Please stop the nonsense."
I really hate ppl sometimes 😑😑😑 I’m going to bed man. Please stop the nonsense twitter.com/jakeverysmalld…

However, there is no evidence to support the theories regarding the fight being rigged. Jake Paul appeared to be setting up the overhand right throughout the bout.

At the post-fight press conference, Paul shared that he kept feinting at Woodley in the opening five rounds and tricked the former UFC welterweight champion into thinking that a body shot was coming his way instead of a powerful overhand right.

Woodley acknowledged the same after the bout, saying that one mistake cost him the fight.
