Dana White Denies Tyron Woodley’s Claims of Nate Diaz Fight

Dana White has shot down Tyron Woodley’s claims Nick Diaz was offered a fight with him. White discussed Woodley’s claim on the latest episode of UFC Tonight (per MMAjunkie), referencing Woodley’s claim that If I had to bet the house on it, [Diaz is] my next opponent.”

“He’s homeless. He’s full of (expletive),” White said. “That fight was never made. You couldn’t be more wrong. He couldn’t be more full of (expletive). It’s absolutely not true. It’s so not true, that our lawyer actually hit him up today, hit his manager up and said he needs to stop saying these kind of things, because it’s absolutely not true.”

He added, “I wouldn’t bet a nickel on it, let alone (Woodley)’s house. It’s not true. It’s completely not true, and we’re looking at (Rafael) dos Anjos. Dos Anjos is the fight we’re looking at for Woodley. That’s the fight that’s a fair fight. He just won a great fight against Robbie Lawler; he looked good. And what I love about that fight is I think dos Anjos will bring it. He will come after Tyron Woodley, and it will be a great fight. That’s the fight that’s going to happen.”

Woodley responded on Twitter to a jab by dos Anjos, saying:

You just got busted on live tv, I'm the one that feel bad for you, I don't trash talk I talk the truth

Cause Dana has never told a lie in his life🤔. Maybe we should ask @NateDiaz209 if they offered me him. https://t.co/jdPpiPjjQl
