Paul and Woodley will collide in the main event of the pay-per-view card. It will be a rematch of their initial clash in August, which saw the YouTube sensation edge 'The Chosen One' via a split decision.
'The Problem Child' was originally gearing up to square off against up-and-coming British boxer Tommy Fury, the younger half-brother of heavyweight boxing world champion Tyson Fury. However, Fury pulled out of the bout citing a bacterial chest infection and a broken rib.
Jake Paul hints at possible fight with Nate Diaz
Nate Diaz's team was a notable presence at the Jake Paul vs. Tyron Woodley press conference earlier this week. Paul revealed in an interview with The Schmo that there's a "strategy behind" the move to invite the UFC star's team to the event.
On top of that, Paul said a matchup between himself and Diaz is a fight that "people need to see." During the event's open workouts on Wednesday, Paul told media members:
"Look, there’s a lot of s*** talk going back and forth, and I would love to make that fight happen, if it’s even possible. I know he’s with the UFC, so whatever happens will happen. But that’s a massive fight, and I think the people need to see that one. I’ve got to get through Tyron, maybe Tommy [Fury]. Who knows? Maybe Nate Diaz, maybe Conor McGregor. The road path is massive right now."
