Tyron Woodley finally got the Jake Paul tattoo on his body as requested by the YouTuber.

The former UFC welterweight champion had revealed the words 'I love Jake Paul’ on the inside of his index finger, although not everyone believed the tattoo to be real.

Paul defeated Woodley by split decision in their boxing match in August and prior to the contest, a bet had been made that the loser had to get a tattoo of the other on their body.

Woodley declined to get inked on the night, even though Paul had brought a tattooist to the arena. However, he was told by Paul the only way to get a lucrative rematch would be for him to follow through with the bet.Now Woodley has it and journalist Ariel Helwani shared a video of the 39-year-old getting it done, seemingly proving its authenticity.

Former UFC title contender Dan Hardy was not impressed. "Anyone who has a tattoo knows that's not a tattoo.

"What a dork," Hardy tweeted.He went on to say: "So you left out the ‘LOVE’ part, and that's written in pen, Tyron Woodley? Well played.

"It looks like a tattoo your friend did when you were both drunk.

"An embarrassing tattoo is one thing, but a bad embarrassing tattoo is a whole other."Woodley bit back by taking a snipe at the former welterweight's career in the octagon: "Your UFC career is embarrassing. Your claim to fame is you got stomped by [Georges St Pierre] and didn't die. everything was by design. I'll keep setting trends while you tweet."Woodley shared an image of his name trending on Twitter, along with his clap back.Hardy replied: "You’re trending because you’ve got Jake Paul tattooed on your finger. Well done. Congratulations on your championship success.

"I remember the crowds booing in appreciation as you wore your heel out against the fence, backing up and avoiding the fight."

Woodley then said: "Belt and titles. Things you dreamed of. They cheered as you were carried out on a stretcher. Champs now were in diapers last time you fought.

"Keep living your dream on the bag in your garage. From Outlaw to Uber Black driver."

Hardy finsihed the debate saying: "We’re the same age, you fool. It's just that I was competing in the UFC a bit earlier, during the reign of the greatest welterweight champion of all time. You came after."

Hardy was released from his commentary position in UFC in May of this year, but he has expressed an interest in fighting once more.

His last fight was in 2012 and he has not fought since after being diagnosed with Wolff–Parkinson–White syndrome.

Woodley, on the other hand, is clearly still looking for a showdown with Paul, but the YouTuber turned boxer has been chasing a fight with Tommy Fury.
