Prior to his stint as the UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley had a notable run. “The Chosen One” was particularly notorious for his knockout power, a weapon he used against Robbie Lawler to win the 170-pound title.
Save for his submission win over Darren Till in 2018, Woodley had less dominating performances against Stephen Thompson and Demian Maia before his loss to Kamaru Usman in 2019. Through his stardom as champion came other opportunities like his own segment in TMZ, as well as a budding showbiz career.
Because of these extracurricular activities, other top contenders in his division like Gilbert Burns are now disappointed at Woodley.
