Tyron Woodley Says He Will Give Rafael dos Anjos a Gucci Belt and Not His Title Belt
Speaking during the FOX Sports 1 post-fight show for UFC 215, UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley addressed Rafael dos Anjos’ callout to fight him. Dos Anjos submitted Neil Magny in the first round during the co-main event. Below are some highlights and a video of Woodley responding to Dos Anjos.
Woodley on Dos Anjos: “Well, I’ve got a Gucci belt you can have. I’ve got a Louis Vuitton belt you can have, but the welterweight gold, the 14 pounds, brother – it’s going to be a long time before I give that up.”
Woodley on Dos Anjos calling him out: “I didn’t take (the callout) personally. All I’m saying is there are a lot of guys in my division. They always put them in front of me, and everyone thinks they have the solution to beat me. But I think I’m the most well-rounded fighter. I punch the hardest in the UFC of all the fighters. And he’s a great fighter. He’s a former world champion. I do think one or two more fights in the division, with a great performance like he had this evening, we will see him on the other side of the octagon. At that point, we’ll be ready to roll.”
Tyron Woodley on wanting a fight at middleweight: “I want to fight at middleweight. So, I’m thinking about taking a trip up to middleweight.”
