Tyron Woodley made a statement with his appearance at the UFC Vegas 11 press conference on Thursday.
The former welterweight champion, who on Saturday meets longtime rival Colby Covington, showed up wearing a Black Lives Matter t-shirt along with a hat emblazoned with the words “Make Racists Catch the Fade Again” in the same style as the “Make America Great” hat made famous by President Donald Trump.
Once reporters started asking questions, Woodley fashioned every answer highlighted by the same phrase — Black Lives Matter.
“I’m just really excited that Black Lives Matter,” he said.
