UFC welterweight contender Stephen Thompson explained why it would be a “bad idea” for Jake Paul to fight Tyron Woodley in a boxing match.<\/p>\n

Thompson has fought Woodley twice in the UFC, the first time fighting to a majority draw and then losing a majority decision in the rematch, so he knows “The Chosen One” better than anyone. Recently, Woodley completed his UFC contract and he is now a free agent. One of the fights that have been bandied about for him by fans and media is a boxing match against Paul. At this point, we aren’t sure if this fight will end up happening, but based on their previous run-in, it seems as though Woodley and Paul are interested in it.<\/p>\n

Speaking to James Lynch<\/a>, Thompson was asked what his thoughts are on a potential Paul vs. Woodley boxing match. Despite the fact Woodley has lost his last four fights in the Octagon and was just finished by Vicente Luque in his last fight, Thompson is confident that it would be a rough night for Paul if they end up fighting in the boxing ring.<\/p>\n
