SEAN O’MALLEY said Tyron Woodley’s brutal knockout loss to Jake Paul has ‘completely destroyed his f***ing legacy’.
Paul in August beat ex-UFC champion Woodley but over eight rounds in a split-decision.
The YouTuber, 24, was then set to fight Tommy Fury, 22, until the unbeaten Brit pulled out with a broken rib and chest infection.
وودلي, 39, instead filled in on late notice but was savagely sparked out with a massive right hand in round six.
His decision to rematch Paul would have been a financially smart one, but could backfire on his reputation.
UFC bantamweight O’Malley, 27, قالت: “Dude, it completely destroyed his f***ing legacy.”
Paul has now knocked out every opponent he has faced, YouTuber ‘AnEsonGib’, نجم الدوري الاميركي للمحترفين السابق نيت روبنسون, 37, والمتقاعد بن اسكرين من وزن الوسط في بطولة القتال النهائي, 37, joining Woodley.
Askren, a grappler with limited striking skills, was the first professional fighter the social media sensation beat.

And O’Malley questioned whether Woodley can overcome the loss like Askren did.
هو قال: “That could affect Tyron Woodley big time, or he could just be completely unattached to that and still be happy.
“That’s a f***ing skill that you have to acquire.”
O’Malley continued: “نحن سوف, I think with Ben, Ben supposed, well kinda supposed to win.
“But the way he looks I feel like just makes it feel like an excuse for him.”
