Jake Paul imagined he would knock out and ’embarrass’ Tyron Woodley in their rematch.
Paul defeated the former UFC champion in eight rounds in August but promised to leave no doubt in the second attempt.

He was supposed to fight Tommy Fury, until the former British reality TV star passed out from a broken rib and a chest infection.
So it gave 24-year-old Paul the right opportunity to right a wrong, when Woodley, 39, filled in for Fury, 22, on late notice.
And the YouTuber stunned those in attendance after the brutal finale of his sixth round.
But it came as no shock to Paul, who revealed in a social media post that he conceived the viral KO.
A sign read: “I’ll knock out Jake Paul, defeated and embarrassed Tyron Woodley, live on Showtime on December 18.”
Woodley YouTuber ‘AnEsonGib’, ex-NBA star Nate Robinson, 37, and retired UFC welterweight Ben Askren, 37, join Paul’s KO list.

And he claimed to send them to his meme collection.
Paul said: “I’ve had four big bouts, more than enough, in 13 months. No one in boxing history has done what I’ve done at this age.
“Mass pay-per-view, ousted everyone I’ve fought, the only person as active as me is Canelo, and he fights 50+.
“I turned them all into memes, that s*** is going viral all over the internet and I’m ready to fight anyone.
“It doesn’t matter if he’s a professional boxer or a five-time UFC champion, I don’t care.
“I’m really made for this and no matter what, I’m going to find a way to get the job done and that’s what I showed tonight.”
