“I grew up going to Cavs, Browns and Indians games on the weekends, dreaming as a little kid of one day being in a position to put on a show for my hometown like they did,” Paul said. “On August 29, that dream comes true. My biggest challenge to date, in front of the city that made me, on pay per view for the world to see me knock out a UFC champion. I’m also thrilled to have Amanda Serrano on this card. She stands out as the most prolific KO artist in women’s boxing. What a night this is going to be!”

“I’m a grown-ass man,” said Woodley. “I don’t play games with kids. They brought me in to take the trash out. You’re welcome!”

Paul and Woodley have been at odds since the lead-up to Paul’s pro boxing match against Woodley’s dear friend, “Funky” Ben Askren. Paul fed Askren a first-round knockout.
