Video: Tyron Woodley, Jake Paul share intense faceoff ahead of boxing rematch

Before they meet inside the boxing ring again, former UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley and Jake Paul came face-to-face on Friday evening.

In the final moments of the ceremonial weigh-ins in at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Tampa, Fla., Paul and Woodley got up close and personal once again as they had an intense exchange of words.

The faceoff was the last time the fighters see each other eye-to-eye before stepping inside the ring on Saturday evening.

Check out video of the intense staredown below (via Showtime Boxing on Twitter):

“Thank you for bringing the dog out of me,” Woodley said immediately after the staredown. “Tomorrow we battle. Eat well, rest well. It’s gonna be a f*ckin’ fight tomorrow night.”

“It’s f*ckin’ go-mode,” Paul said in response. “A different Jake Paul you’re gonna to see this time. We’re f*ckin’ buckin’ in the middle of the ring. No funny sh*t. No funny sh*t like last time, I’m f*cking him up!”

Paul vs. Woodley 2 airs on Showtime pay-per-view Saturday evening, and features a number of intriguing matchups including a high-level women’s matchup between Amanda Serrano and Miriam Gutierrez, and a matchup between former NBA star Deron Williams and former NFL running back Frank Gore.

Watch the full ceremonial weigh-ins in the video above.
