Jake Paul mimics Conor McGregor's catchphrase ahead of Tyron Woodley rematch

Jake Paul has copied Conor McGregor 's "win or learn" catchphrase ahead of his second fight with Tyron Woodley.

Paul fights Woodley on Saturday night after his original opponent Tommy Fury withdrew from the fight last week.

"Win or learn" is a phrase commonly repeated by McGregor and his coach John Kavanagh, describing how losses are not marks of failure but instead lessons.

Paul faced a big step up in competition against Woodley in August, outpointing the former UFC champion to win a split decision.

And the 24-year-old mimics the mindset of McGregor and his trainer in his approach to boxing.

"There's no way for me to lose here. Even in sparring if I spar a world champion and I lose, you don't lose. You either win or learn," Paul said.

Woodley is confident after watching back their first clash he can correct the mistakes he made to knockout the YouTube star.

"I think the first time around, I didn't know much about Jake in the ring, nobody did because he didn't have a lot of rounds," he said.

"Sparring is one thing, fighting is another thing. He fought at most two rounds before then, so I went in there and I had to be ready for everything.

"Now I got eight rounds of me fighting him. So I can look at what I did well, I can look at what he did well. Both guys got punched and fought the eight rounds.

"When the fight ended and I got back into training, I was working on the things I could have did differently. I needed to tighten some s*** up.

Paul put his rivalry aside with Woodley in a recent face-to-face interview by gifting his opponent with a brand new Rolex watch.

Despite accepting the gift, Woodley questioned the legitimacy of the present as Paul is notorious for his pre-fight antics and mind games.

Will it be repeat or revenge in the rematch between Paul and Woodley? Let us know your prediction in the comments section below

Paul's trainer has backed him to look "a lot better" than he did in his first fight against Woodley this weekend.

And Paul thinks his rematch with Woodley will be more "calculated" due to both men knowing more about each other's fighting styles.

"One hundred per cen we're gonna have a different fight, a more calculated fight and the more sharper man will win," Paul said.

"We didn't know how the other one was gonna come out. He can go back study the film, look at my flaws and see what he can do better.

"We both have adjustments and we're both seeing what the other person did and just who made better preparations.

"That's why this sport is amazing and that's why this fight is more amazing than the Tommy Fury fight in my opinion, it's exciting."
