UFC Welterweight Champion Tyron Woodley has revealed details on his latest conversation with UFC President Dana White.
Woodley was upset with White because of things he had said after Woodley’s title defense at UFC 214.
White had criticized Woodley’s victory over Demain Maia, and Woodley demanded White give him a public apology. Woodley said if he didn’t get an apology, he would leak out private information about the UFC and White.
Since then, White and Woodley have appeared to work things out after talking on the phone. Woodley talked about his conversation with White during an interview with ESPN.
“There was some yelling back and forth,” Woodley said. “At the end of the conversation, I felt pretty comfortable. It ended on a positive note. Two men can talk on the phone and maybe not agree on everything, but at least respect each other.
“I still feel he should apologize publicly, but I’m not going to hold my breath. The conversation ended with respect and that was really my goal. Dana knows all about talking off emotion. I went a little (crazy) and was talking off emotion, too. Did I really plan on leaking stuff? Probably not. But at the time, I was mad and it sounded good.”
