Former Mizzou wrestler and current UFC welterweight contender Tyron Woodley shared his thoughts about the recent protests over allegations of systemic racism at his former alma mater.
For the second time in as many years, Tyron Woodley has found himself as the point man for MMA media questions on racial topics in his home state of Missouri. Back in 2014, the shooting of unarmed teenager Michael Brown in Woodley's home town of Ferguson, Missouri sparked massive protests and was the center of national headlines for months to come. Now news of protests over perceived systemic racism at the Woodley's alma mater, Mizzou, have the UFC welterweight top contender back front and center as the tie between the combat sports world and a moment of national interest.
