Tyron Woodley Responds to Kelvin Gastelum’s Desire For a Rematch

Tyron Woodley has a response to Kelvin Gastelum’s expressed desire to face him in a fight. The UFC welterweight champion responded to an interview quote from Gastelum, where he talked about his loss to Woodley at UFC 183 and said, “When I fought Tyron, a lot of things went wrong that weekend. I didn’t make the weight, I lost my first professional fight, and it just never really settled well in my heart. So I’m just going to go out in public and say it: I feel very, very salty about it. I feel like I can beat him and I can make the weight healthy and fight him – get a rematch with him. By no means is this a crack down at Tyron. I respect Tyron as a person and as a fighter and as a champion.”

Woodley saw the quote and posted to Twitter to react, saying, “My thought is win or lose you had a chance to show it. I feel I can beat [Rory MacDonald] but he whipped my a** when I had my chance.” You can see the post below.

Gastelum next fights Michael Bisping on Saturday at UFC Fight Night 122.

Just heard you say you were salty and "I Know I can Beat him" my thought is win or lose you had a chance to show it. I feel I can beat @rory_macdonald but he whipped my ass when I had my chance. #LowSodium @ufc https://t.co/4LMQQ8Ot1m
