I've seen some interviews with Woodley where he seems like a likable guy. But it's interviews like this that make me dislike him. I don't know what his perception was of how he should be treated once becoming a champ, but I guess reality didn't live up to his fantasy.

And in general I don't like people who always shift the blame on outside factors. Do what you can to improve your situation and don't just bitch and moan about it and wait for others to do it for you, because that will never happen.

Tbh im still waiting for John to post back after I destroyed his beliefs that woodley is treated worse than other fighters. Sad he ran off.

Anyways, yeah woodley is a clueless dude. How can he mention jones being thrown under the bus when he even still gets everything? Mighty mouse gets as little big sponsorships as Dominick cruz got (but cruz is on fox, lol so is woodley).

Poor mighty mouse has to live with being compared with guys like woodley and dc who get punditry and commentating while he gets nothing, not even their wages.

You are really turning into Charlie Z, I broke apart your argument with numerous factual inaccuracies.

Woodley saying Wonderboy's fans are racist...I don't think he's lying about that. I'm sure he's called the n-word daily from Wonderboy's fans. I don't understand how a fighter who just tried to outpoint Woodley is entitled to an immediate rematch. I don't get how people can hear about someone being racially harassed and think oh well they deserve it or no actually they are racist.

Lmfao I'm not even going to entertain this. You know you're wrong here, let's just move on past the childish stuff.
I just moved on after you got on your knees and begged me to let you go. But did you want me to talk to you all night :laugh:

And check the thread again buddy, you're last post didn't really leave anything up for discussion. But if you wish to talk about compensation for fighters what you listed were the downside deals. Woodley's problem with the UFC is he's booking these huge money fights and the UFC is refusing to pay his opponents, I don't see that happening with any other fighter in the UFC. Dana White is even trying to bring in Floyd Mayweather for Conor to fight but we can't get Woodley vs GSP in Toronto, or Nick Diaz vs Woodley at 209.

Also I don't know about your opinion of people harassing Woodley online don't know anything about MMA, but it's not germane to the point. Going after Woodley for telling us about this problem might not make you a racist but it is enabling.

#1 Tyron Woodley is incorrect about him being the worst treated UFC champion. TJ Dillashaw was fighting on Fox cards when he had the belt, which means TJ wasn't eligible for PPV cash for at least 2 of his title fights.

#2 Demetrious Johnson doesn't get paid as much cause there isn't as much demand or money in lighter weight classes.

#3 Woodley brings up Jon Jones having sponsors drop him. The same thing happened to Michael Phelps when that picture of him smoking weed came out.

1. The TJ thing is interesting, TJ was drawing about half what Woodley draws. On the flip side TJ didn't have three big money fights that he booked and the UFC killed. It's interesting to see how the company would rather create belts than book a huge moneyweight fight with Woodley. The last time we saw this was way back with Couture and Fedor, and the UFC was basically giving Fedor a blank check to come over.

2. I believe Demetrius Johnson actually lost his main source of income with the Reebok deal, X-Box was paying him more in sponsorship money so he was fine not getting the PPV points.

3. I don't agree with him about Jones.

First off it's sad people have to call anyone names on the Internet but that's the social media world we live in. If you don't like it you can always stop social media it's your own choice. Tyron has victim mentality mindset. Go look at Ronda Rousey's Twitter. The girl gets death threats and called horrible names from fans. Conor gets called all kinds of racist derogatory Irish names. People post they hope he dies and gets killed etc... Cain and the Diaz brothers get called damn near every racist Mexican word you can think of. I could just keep going but you don't hear any of these guys blaming the UFC or other fighters for bat shit crazy, insecure , racist fans. They are trolls and don't deserve to be talked about. These fighters know they are blessed and don't deflect or blame others. So going by Tyron logic it's worse to be called a the N-Word then it is to get your life threatened. Tyron believes Black people are the only Race that has struggled. Forget about all the slaves during the Roman Empire. All the Irish Slaves. The way the Spanish just took over Mexico and raped and killed there women. How the United States told the Chinese they weren't welcome here in our Country so we had them literally banned from U.S. Soil. Being called a derogatory Black word Trumps all this.
