Dana White Says Tyrone Woodley Never Wants to Fight

Dana White recently spoke with MMA Junkie, and is less than thrilled with welterweight champion Tyron Woodley and trying to book him fights…

On Trying To Book Tyrone Woodley Fights: “When is Woodley ready to fight anybody, ever? Tell me when,” White said. “Yeah (he just fought three months ago), and it took us forever to get him to fight that fight. He never wants to fight. You want to be a world champion, but you don’t want to fight anybody. That’s a problem.”

On Knowing Interviews Like This Will Cause Issues With Woodley: “He just came out on his real job, TMZ, and said that he was looking for February or something like that, and we said no. We didn’t say no,” White said. “When Tyron Woodley wants to fight we don’t say no. So that wasn’t true, and if you notice TMZ took that clip down because that wasn’t true. It was absolutely not true, and they took it down. What’s going to happen now are these interviews are going to come out, and he’s going to get all pissed off, ‘This guy doesn’t respect me, and he doesn’t do this and that,’ and all that (expletive). That’s what’s going to happen now, and me and Woodley are going to go at it again, and then we’ll see when the guy ends up fighting.”
