“It’s a different sport. When I trained and was world champion, I boxed with great amateur boxers, who weren't elite, but were great. It's a completely different sport and, just to put it into perspective, if 'dirty boxing' were allowed in the sport, we would have a very different range of champions. Because it changes the rules and the game”, said Georges.

While recognizing that Tyron's experience can make a difference, St-Pierre remains firm in the opinion that the former UFC and youtuber can bring a great spectacle to the fans. The Canadian even stated that he will follow the confrontation.

“Woodley has more experience in combat sports than Jake Paul but it's a different game. It's interesting. As a fan, I will watch it, for sure”, he concluded.

Like Georges, Woodley has the UFC welterweight belt on his record. In August, the athlete will make his first appearance since being released by his 'former home'.
