Ultimate Fighting Championship welterweight champ Tyron Woodley hears the confident talk from Kamaru Usman, but he believes that more than anything else, the challenger is trying to convince himself.
“He says a lot of stuff and sometimes when people talk too much, they’re trying to reassure themselves,” Woodley said at a media event Monday (transcription via MMAFighting.com). “You haven’t heard me talk about Usman.”
The 36-year-old Woodley believes every opponent he has faced inside the Octagon has presented a unique stylistic threat, based on their martial arts disciplines, but claims that there is nothing in Usman’s arsenal that stands out.
