“If Joe Rogan and Dana White Says It Is Law”- Tyron Woodley Explains How UFC Fans Have Been Brainwashed

Tyron Woodley is all set to make his professional boxing debut this Sunday. The former UFC champion will face Jake Paul in one of the most anticipated events of the year. Woodley has had a great MMA career and has an MMA record of (19-7) and successfully defended his UFC title 4 times.

However, despite all his achievements, there were many fans who did not consider Woodley a top fighter and hated him. During a recent interview with Ariel Helwani, Woodley was asked about the same. Helwani asked the former champion about what he thinks of the people who were critical of him.

Woodley said, “I don’t take it personally because everyone didn’t know me. It will make me laugh coz of this damn point. They didn’t know me, people that know me, they understood my stance where I came from. People that knew behind the scenes what I had to go through, whether it was negotiations contracts. Or with the weight cut, I was 205lbs, and I was lean ripped and I was killing myself to get down to 170.”

“If Joe Rogan says it law, Dana White says it law. They don’t go and check stats; they echo it. ‘Tyron Chokes in a big fight’ ah ‘Tyron chokes in big fights’. They don’t even change a word.”
