Chael Sonnen believes that Jake Paul has taken a massive risk by accepting a short notice fight against Tyron Woodley.

The former UFC middleweight praised Jake Paul for accepting the fight against Tyron Woodley after Tommy Fury pulled out of the scheduled bout due to fractured ribs and a chest infection.

In a video posted to his YouTube channel, Sonnen said:

"We now, have found out who the real fighters are. This is the biggest mistake of Jake Paul's short career. Absolutely, without question, this is the biggest risk he could possibly take. To fight Tyron Woodley who, by the way, is training all the time. I saw him run on TV at the Triller event 2 weeks ago and he looked fantastic... And Jake's not even thinking about the guy. So while I tell you that this is a huge mistake of Jake Paul... You must accept him into the club [of real fighters]."

Jake Paul, on hearing that Tommy Fury was out of the fight, immediately turned his attention to former rival and opponent Tyron Woodley.

​

In a recent interview, 'The Problem Child' stated that his team instantly contacted Woodley's team for the rematch.

“Yeah, I got the news early Friday morning when it was pretty much a done deal.” Paul told The MacLife. “And my manager Nakisa [Bidarian] had already spoken to Tyron [Woodley], who was willing to step up. And I believe, later that evening or the next day, we already had the contract signed from Tyron.”
