“The look on my face after the fight wasn’t because I thought I lost. I expected myself to do better. It really wasn’t a terrible fight. I wouldn’t give myself a C, I’d give myself an A. But the fight itself, I could have forced more flurries. I could have forced more interactions.
“I was a little bit frustrated with myself, because I saw some opportunities and I didn’t seize the moment.”
“How is the entire world, ‘Oh, Tyron was circling?’ OK, well maybe I don’t want to go in there and just get countered when it’s hard to get in on a long opponent who is just waiting on you to come and attack because he doesn’t want to come in and close the gap.”
“You gotta know me to promote me. You can’t just promote a fighter. I believe the UFC should promote stories, they should promote lifestyles, they should promote what it took for that person to be in the Octagon. Because it took something for all of us to be here. And that’s how you get the fans behind you, that’s how you get them to stay behind you. Not just a fight.
“I feel like I’m the guy that they can make a star, that’s already doing everything for them. There’s not much more you need to do.”
“Every fight can’t be this frickin’ Gilbert Melendez vs. Diego Sanchez fight,” Woodley said. “Or Doo Ho Choi vs. Cub Swanson. Every fight is not gonna be that way. At the end of the day, the goal is to be the world champion and keep the belt as long as you can and have this reign and career.”
Taking to MMAFighting.com, UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley expressed his thoughts on the fans who do not appreciate his fighting style.
Despite the wrestling based champion’s high finishing rate, fans still consider him boring.
