‘The Problem Child’ knocked out former UFC fighter Ben Askren in the first round, and later that year he twice fought ex-UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley.
He won the first bout via split decision, and when the two men met again Paul was able to knock out ‘The Chosen One’ in the sixth round.
Paul then registered a points win over legendary MMA star Anderson Silva in October 2022, but he was unable to take his perfect record to 7-0.
Instead he suffered a split decision defeat to Tommy Fury after years of verbal sparring between the two men on social media.
Paul did bounce back in August though, as he claimed a unanimous decision win over long-time UFC fighter Nate Diaz.
