Inside how Tyron Woodley cashed in his 'karma' ahead of Jake Paul rematch

TYRON WOODLEY HAD just gone on his lunch break. It was Dec. 1, and the former UFC welterweight champion was on a set in Atlanta, working on a television show.

Woodley was about to raid the snack table in catering -- there was a cookie with his name on it -- when he looked down at his phone, which he had set on silent. The screen flashed "Nakisa Bidarian," Jake Paul's chief adviser and the co-founder of Paul's Most Valuable Promotions.

Woodley didn't know why Bidarian was calling. He picked up the phone, and Bidarian told Woodley that a reporter would be contacting him about an article on Paul.
