The long-awaited and heavily hyped bout between ex-YouTuber Jake Paul and former UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley finally happened Sunday night. After a hard fought eight rounds, Paul withstood a late flurry from Woodley to win in a split decision.

Coming off of just three professional bouts, Paul agreed to take a considerable step up in competition by getting in the ring with Woodley. Even though the man nicknamed “The Chosen One” was making his boxing debut tonight, he wasn’t far removed from his last appearance in the Octagon in March. His loss via submission at UFC 260 was his fourth consecutive defeat heading into free agency where Woodley and the organization couldn’t come to terms on a new deal.
