Tyron Woodley’s coach thinks it wasn’t that fans disliked Woodley before UFC 228, they ‘were just upset with him’

Tyron Woodley has long been one of the most underappreciated champions in the UFC, but that could be starting to change after his one-sided rout of Darren Till at UFC 228.

Woodley blew the doors off of Till to retain his title with a second-round D’Arce choke submission in the main event of UFC 228. “T-Wood” is currently the third-longest reigning champion in the promotion, having retained his welterweight belt four consecutive times since capturing it with a hellacious knockout of Robbie Lawler in July 2016, yet widespread respect from the MMA fanbase has seemingly eluded him thus far in his career.
