After a chaotic press conference where a member of Jake Paul's team got into it with Tyron Woodley's mother of all people, this event could ultimately end in chaos.Recently Showtime released the first episode of All Access, focused on the fight.

2021 been a big year for the Paul brothers. Back in June, Logan Paul fought boxing champ Floyd Mayweather Jr., in what was hardly the fight of the century. Now, Jake Paul will fight mixed martial artist Tyron Woodley. And if you need a bizarro reason to watch, the loser has to get a tattoo proclaiming their love for the fight's winner. What in the name of Mike Tyson's face tattoo is even going on here?

Tyron Woodley's sister appeared to get upset and the situation escalated.

Tyron Woodley's mother Deborah Woodley, affectionately referred to as "Mama Woodley" is a well known figure in the MMA community. She's incredibly well regarded for congratulating and showing respect to her son's opponents win or lose.

The fact a member of Paul's entourage has verbally attacked one of the most loved figures in MMA has set a number of fighters off. Including Jake Paul's last opponent Ben Askren.

Whoever gets the tattoo, you just know there'll be plenty of publicity about the actual tattooing itself, not to mention photos of the final embarrassing product. (Smart tattoo artists in the Paul-Woodley circle are probably already thinking about how to eventually cover up or disguise the message.)Why is the fight happening?The Paul brothers, Logan and Jake, are both YouTubers turned boxers, which seems like an odd career path, but it is what it is. For one thing, they're young. Jake Paul is 24, and Logan Paul is 26, so they've got youth on their side, plus their YouTube cash gives the option to do whatever they want with their free time. And what they want, apparently, is to beat people up and get beat up in return. These fights aren't always for the record books, but for the bank books. (Logan Paul's June bout with 44-year-old Mayweather was simply an exhibition.) While Jake Paul has fought three professional bouts, and won them all, his opponents weren't professional boxers at their prime. Paul beat YouTuber AnEsonGib, former professional basketball player Nate Robinson and retired MMA fighter Ben Askren. (That .) And all of the Paul brothers' fights draw headlines and chatter, and add to their fame and bank balances.Woodley talked some trash about Jake Paul at the Askren fight, and that led to the planned Paul-Woodley fight."Easiest fight of my career and biggest purse of my career all in one night," Woodley said of the Paul match,
