Current Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) welterweight champion Tyron Woodley made headlines earlier this week when he stated that fans don't like him because he is black, citing mistreatment for fellow fighters like Demetrious Johnson and Jon Jones. In response, Woodley's UFC 205 and UFC 209 opponent, Stephen Thompson, weighed in on the situation. Now, mixed martial arts (MMA) veteran Jamie Varner seems to have joined the party, which immediately prompted a heated Twitter war between he and Woodley.
The race baiting and the excuse making of @TWooodley is sad. I would expect more from a fellow wrestler and fighter.
