Many top fighters in the UFC have openly admitted their actual dislike for what they do. Most recently, welterweight champion Tyron Woodley went on record to share the same sentiment.
“I don’t really even like fighting, to be honest,” Woodley told Joe Rogan on a recent JRE MMA Show podcast. “I’m just good at it.”
However, Woodley’s reasons for his feelings towards fighting is more deep-rooted. In a nutshell, he is not exactly a fan of how the culture had changed over the years.
“I don’t like the politics behind it, I don’t like the martial arts aspect that’s been taken away from it, I don’t like the disrespect to the sport,” Woodley said.
