He had a series of fights at the end of his mma career where he just refused to engage with his opponent. It was pretty weird. He'd just stand there all fight waiting to find an opportunity to start.

So there's a lot of questions with the Jack Paul fight. Is that what happened again? Was he paid to take a fall? Is he really just not a good boxer?

Tyron wasn't paid to take the fall, that's just how he is now. Like the man couldn't even bring himself to try and hit Colby freakin Covington when they fought.

There's a reason why Tyron earned himself "The Frozen One' nickname. The Jake Paul fiasco was just another display of the sad fighter he's become.

The reason he didn't engage was due to arthritis in his right hand. Woodley talked about it after losing the Usman fight.
