That's a good thing. I hope more people will bet on the 'fan favorite' Wonderboy Thompson so that the lines move giving Woodley more value. I have already made a bet on him at 2.09 and I will bet more if I see his line move higher. Thompson choked in the first fight, this time he's saying he'll let go and strike away. That will open him up for mistakes that Woodley can exploit.
Tyron woodley is not getting the respect as a champion and so is the reason he is frustrated and he might take that out against Wonderboy in this match and i have not seen any champion being an underdog, no wonder he is complaining .What i understand is that no one appreciates Tyron is simply because he fought for the title after coming off a split decision victory over Kelvin Gastelum and for over a year he did not fight and got the opportunity to fight for the title while Demian Maia and Thomson were riding more win streaks and deserved the title shot than Woodley at that time.
Nah. I think he's just trying to get attention in order to draw a large crowd and sell the fight. I think he's also trying to be something like Muhammad Ali by going the racial prejudice route, hoping to get our heads turned and get our attention. This is not the day and age to do that anymore because the social and political issues are different compared to Ali's time.
Want to get the crowd going? Woodley should start acting ghetto and Tupac his way to get people to hate him, and then love him but all the way interested in what he's gonna do next.
I read some of the transcript and kinda funny how Tyron Woodley would play the
"race" card on the table. We all know that D. Johnson has clean up his division
so its hard to promote him no one in his division has match up to him so seldom
that he gets fight, but if he did he was promoted same as other champion.
Jon Jones has its own problem as well, and we see how UFC have promoted him
as well during this championship days. There are a lot of black champions before
him and no one is complaining. The issue with him is his attitude. To quote Dana,
“The thing is with Tyron, he’s a smart guy, he’s a good looking kid, he’s explosive, he’s got knockout power but he’s a bit of a drama queen,” White said when speaking with ESPN recently. “The way that he’s talking about [being] treated, too and I think he means the fans, when a fight is made and Conor McGregor is a perfect example. Conor McGregor has that fight anybody, anywhere attitude but doesn’t just have the attitude, he lives it. I’ve stood in front of him [on] 10 days notice and his opponent falls out and he doesn’t care. He doesn’t care. Bring them all in, I’m better than everybody, I’m the man, I’m the guy.
“If Tyron Woodley had that attitude, Tyron Woodley would be a massive star. But he does these things where he’ll say on Instagram where [the fans] know who’s next, who’s supposed to fight next, and he’ll go on social media and go ‘I’m not fighting him, I don’t want to fight him, I think I want to fight this guy’ and that’s not what people want to hear. People don’t want to hear that.”
