Former UFC light heavyweight champion Rashad Evans says his heart is with Tyron Woodley, but he expects Jake Paul to put up a “tough fight.”<\/p>\n

Woodley and Paul meet on August 28 on Showtime PPV in what marks the former UFC welterweight champion Woodley’s first professional boxing match<\/a>. Coming off of a TKO win over Woodley’s longtime friend and training partner Ben Askren, Paul is about as hot of a commodity as there is in combat sports right now, and both he and Woodley are expected to make monster paydays for their boxing match. However, for Woodley, it’s not just about the money, but also proving to all the doubters that he can still win fights at age 39.<\/p>\n

Speaking to ESPN<\/a>, Evans was asked about the Paul vs. Woodley boxing match. Although Evans gave Paul some credit for his boxing skills, he still believes that Woodley will win.<\/p>\n

Spoke to Rashad Evans (@SugaRashadEvans<\/a>) today. He told me he'd love to box Logan Paul, but whether that happens or not, he's definitely fighting again in MMA or boxing. Hopefully this year. Also gave me his thoughts on the Jake Paul vs. Tyron Woodley fight. pic.twitter.com\/5CkKDQjYjT<\/a><\/p>\n
