The night before UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley laid a one-sided beating for the ages on upstart challenger Darren Till, UFC president Dana White was asked by a BT Sport interviewer why Woodley isn’t the star he probably should be.
“Tyron Woodley is good-looking, has the perfect physique, he’s got the record and he’s got knockout power in both hands,” he said. “But every time Tyron Woodley opens his mouth, he shoots himself in the foot. He’s a very unlikable guy to fight fans. Till is the exact opposite. When you’re from England, and you’re in the United States and in Texas, and they’re booing the American guy and cheering the English guy, I think that sums it up and says how the fans feel about you.
