the fight.[70]
Woodley was scheduled to face Leon Edwards on March 21, 2020, at UFC Fight Night: Woodley

rib injury.[77][78]

earned him the Fight of the Night award.[81] Weeks later, it was announced that Woodley had
fought out his contract after eight years competing in the promotion.[82]
Other ventures

Kickboxer: Vengeance and Sultan, the latter being an Indian movie directed by Ali Abbas
Zafar.[83][84] He also appears in several fight scenes of Escape Plan 2: Hades.[85] Additionally, he
hosts a podcast called "Morning Wood with Deez Nutz" and a weekly internet web show on TMZ
called "The Hollywood Beatdown".[86][87]
Before the Jake Paul vs. Ben Askren main event took place, Woodley was involved in a
backstage situation with Jake Paul and J'Leon Love, where he was mocked due to his
inexperience in boxing and the result of Paul's bout against Woodley's long–time teammate Ben
Askren was discussed.[88] After Paul knocked out Askren, Woodley called out Paul.[89] On May
31, 2021, news surfaced that Woodley has now been scheduled to make his professional boxing
debut against internet personality Jake Paul on August 29, 2021.[90][91] Woodley became the first
man to take Paul past the second round, but ultimately lost by split decision. One judge scored
the fight 77–75 for Woodley, while the other two judges scored it 77–75 and 78–74 in favor of
Paul.
Personal life
Tyron has four children. He has said that his goal is to open a non-profit facility for troubled
youths one day.[92] When his hometown of Ferguson, Missouri engaged in civil unrest after the
shooting of Michael Brown, Woodley publicly condemned the rioting and lootings that took
place.[93]
