TYRON WOODLEY had to sign a contract stating that he wasn't allowed to knock Jake Paul out.

That is according to Conor McGregor's team-mate Dillon Danis, who claims fellow MMA star Woodley agreed not to seek a KO victory over Paul.

The controversial YouTuber outpointed the mixed martial artist in an eight-round bout last summer in Cleveland

Woodley landed the biggest blow of the fight in the fourth round but baffled fans when he didn't follow up even though his opponent went flying into the ropes.

Danis told The MMA Hour last week: “Tyron Woodley, from what I heard, had it in the contract that he was not allowed to knock out Jake Paul.

"I swear on anything, when he was against the ropes, I swear, that’s why when Jake Paul was against the ropes, Tyron Woodley didn’t hit him.

"I’m telling you right now. It was in his contract where it said you’re not allowed to knock him out.”

Danis then doubled down on his astonishing statement by claiming that Woodley signed a non-disclosure agreement saying he can't even talk about whether he could knock Paul out or not.

The MMA star is not getting a rematch in the near future as the social media celebrity will take on Tyson Fury's brother Tommy on December 18.

Danis told Plan Bri Uncut: "Tyron Woodley, that's why he hasn't said anything about it, he had to sign an NDA not to say anything about that. So it was like a double rule, you know?

"The fight was not rigged. They could box, but he's not allowed to like knock him out. So when he was against the ropes, he kind of just stood there.

"Now he's fighting Tommy Fury, who's terrible. He's like a Jersey Shore reject. It's an easy payday for him, it's a smart move.

"If I'm going to do MMA or boxing, I don't mind either one. I'm gonna see Jake or Logan [Paul]. Logan's been talking s***, so I don't know."
