Tyron Woodley has extra incentive to knock Jake Paul out after 'The Problem Child' guaranteed him a $500,000 bonus if he wins by KO. The former welterweight champion has revealed what he will do with the money if he puts 'The Problem Child' down for the count on December 18.

During an interview with Michael Babcock from TMZ Sports, Tyron Woodley said he would use the money to buy more 'stocking stuffers' for his loved ones. He also explained that while the knockout is on his mind, he will not necessarily go looking for it. Woodley said:

"I feel like the knockout is going to come... Everybody know me. When I see blood, when somebody shows me when they are hurt, I usually get him out of there. So in this fight, I'm not telling myself 'you got to get the knockout' and subconsciously thinking about it. I'm going to do things to set it up, and if I do that the entire fight and it becomes a victory by decision. Of course I want the knockout for sure, that's what I'm really hunting for. A little extra Christmas money ain't going to hurt nothing."

Watch the full interview with Tyron Woodley below:

Jake Paul introduced the incentive to give the 39-year-old extra motivation for their second fight. 'The Chosen One' was close to finishing Paul in their first fight when he hurt the YouTube sensation in the fourth round. An overhand right staggered Paul who circled away from the ropes before Woodley could inflict further damage.


Tyron Woodley has six knockouts in his MMA career

Tyron Woodley will enjoy a nice $500,000 bonus if he can add Jake Paul to his list of career knockouts. The St. Louis native has six stoppage victories in his MMA career, five in the UFC.

Two of Tyron Woodley's notable knockouts are from his fights with Robbie Lawler and Josh Koscheck.

In his title fight with Lawler, Woodley set up the then champion by measuring the distance for the first two minutes with his lead hand. Once 'Ruthless' felt comfortable, Woodley struck with a quick right that put the San Diego native down before finishing the job with follow-up strikes.

Meanwhile, against Josh Koscheck, Woodley countered a missed right hook with one of his own. Koscheck seemingly froze on his haunches for a moment, allowing Woodley to land another right that put 'Kos' away for good.
