Tyron Woodley claims he will be seeking a finish win over Jake Paul when the pair clash once more on December 19. During a media conference call, Woodley told MMAFighting.com that he considers the knockout bonus “free money”.
““At the end the of the day, you put a bag on your own head. Sh*t, I’m completely all about taking that free money. I had plans on doing that anyway, but if he wants to entice me a little bit more.
Woodley to Paul: “Don’t put a bounty on your own f*cking head and think I’m not going to take it”
You don’t offer a kid from Ferguson half a bag to go out there and do what he wanted to do anyway. So it does put motivation. You don’t put a bounty on your own f*cking head and think I’m not going to take it.”
Woodley, as part of his rematch contract to replace Tommy Fury against Jake Paul next weekend, included a $500,000.00 knockout bonus. That is, if Woodley seals a win with a knockout or TKO, he picks up an extra half million dollars. Not a bad cash injection right before Christmas.
“For sure, I’m motivated by money. I’m motivated by legacy. I’m motivated by greatness. I’m motivated by redemption. So when people say it’s not about the money for me, they’re f*cking lying. Why would you be prizefighting if you didn’t want to get a prize?
Sometimes it’s about the principle. When you feel like you’re at a certain level, you feel like you’re at a certain point of your life and your career, you want the bag to match where you feel like you’re at, it’s just kind of a personal matter behind it. Definitely it’s additional motivation.
You’ll see me walking away with another $500,000.” The former UFC welterweight champion also broke down how he’s going to take the win against Paul. He pointed out that he felt that he earned a victory in their last fight, and this time he will leave no doubt.
“I felt like there was times where I made him miss and I didn’t make him pay. I’m not going to go in there and technique him. I feel like there was times that he could have had more stern consequence for even trying to hit me. That’s one thing that I can pick out.
I feel like I won the fight anyway. I kind of watched the fight for the first time yesterday and I won rounds four through eight. That’s five of the eight rounds.
I don’t understand how I can win four, five, six, seven and eight and he still won the fight. Even that without counting a 10-8 round in the fourth round. Add those little small tweaks in there, a little more volume and I think you’ll see me get the knockout.”
