    and again…Woodley was gone for a year and is 6-3-1 in his last 10 fights. Wonderboy 8-1-1 in last 10 fights. Woodley needs to defend his belt a few times after a win (IF he beats Thompson)
    And hey Woodley- youre an awesome fighter but you are not very likeable because you wont ever stop whining and race baiting. Its over the top. Im black by the way!!! theres always going to be racist a**holes, but most ufc fans dont sit around putting energy into hating on you Tyron. How self-centered of you to think as much. People, including my black ass dont like listening to your annoying mouth!! Take a lesson from your opponent. All class- straight up.

    To fuck with Tyron, when Wonderboy walked in people should of chanted the Champ is here. And in the questioning started  the questioning with referring to Thompson as Champ, and ended the conversation with White Power and an arm extended fist salute. 😉

    ive always respected woodley, but this has made me respect him in a much higher level! and i also a lot respect goes to wonderboy!. Refreshing to see fighters stop doing the old cliche we hate each other talk shit route.

    I think Woodley just wanted a money fight after he dedended his belt. has nothing to do with him being afraid or anything. Now though, I think this is building up to a money fight. I think he was just upset at Thompson for taking away his chance at the big bucks.

    its great seeing twood open up and be more positive. as a person and fighter he is probably the most interesting guy on the ufc roster. he has so much he can market but its his negativity and whining aka "race card race baiting stuff" thats been holding him back. i like how he was taking subtle jabs at wonderboy because come on guys someone has to take the aggressive bad guy stance and obviously woodley would be perfect for that and also it would be boring with no tension,drama,hate or buildup in a fight. we all know wonderboy has no edge at all and he cant market the fight so i understand why woodley wants a superfight with drama and weight to it other than a rematch against a bland opponent. so for all of you wondering why woodley has been such an asshole lately its becuase the fight cant market itself and hes carying the entire load. i hope he starts being more positive tho and cuts back on the race topic

    Woodley you are a great fighter, loads of respect to you for what you have done. But have you ever thought you are not marketable because you are boring as a person and a massive pussy (outside the octagon of course) Crying all the time and prepared to say ANYTHING is racist. Ali stood up against the war ffs how can you compare yourself to him?! You call getting a draw racist. Grow up ffs.

    Cry baby pussy. I bet my house that Woodley is listening to his wife and mama that he's a "victim" here and didn't have his father. I use to talk the same way and was brainwashed by my mom and sisters just like Woodley as kid when I didn't have a father.around.

    The first fight was just OK. Both fighters have potentially entertaining fighting styles but boring personalities. I don't think an immediate rematch was called for. It wasnt a situation where Wonderboy was robbed by the judges decision. He was fortunate to come away with the draw. Woodley seemed in control most of the fight and had the bigger moments. I don't blame him for pursuing a bigger more compelling opponent.

    Tyron really think hes not popular because of Race lmao hey Muhammad Ali was Black but he had this thing Called Charisma If you Would stop bitching and Take on a Mike Tyson Ruthless type of Roll that would Work better for you Dumbass and Change that Wack ass entrance Music Learn how to Promote yourself

  77. Luke Grant

    I can relate to what tyron is saying if he were of different complexion hed get paid more but some things shouldn't be said out there because thee are so many who judge you just on the one. thing you say its like that in every walks of life its the world we live in now

  95. Dean D

    Awesome questions Wade and the MMA H.E.A.T. team. Can't wait for the VR 360 version. Tyron spoke well here and I get where he is coming from. If the UFC promoted T-Wood and Alan Jouban the world would be a better place. Honestly take the lens of PVZ and Sage and put it towards others.

    I fucking hate it when there made to sit next to each other. I get that where trying to show how civilized and classy MMA fighters are, but it absolutely kills the buzz and rivalry. Any heat seems fake af, when there shoulder to shoulder.

  106. rebelcsb1

    See this is what pisses me off, I actually really like Woodly and he seems like a good dude. But God he has fucked himself over by playing the race card and complaining all the time. After seeing what he did to Robbie and even in the first Wonderboy fight I became a big fan of his fighting style and would probably follow him. But he alienates people with all the other shit.
