Tyron Woodley: "I'm fighting Darren Till at UFC 228, even if he misses weight"

[20falarVerdades]

“If Till misses weight we’re still gonna fight, it just won’t be a world title fight for him and he’ll have to forfeit a percentage of his purse,” Woodley told his Instagram followers (via MMA Fighting). “This is a big fight for him. It’s a world title opportunity and my gut says he’s gonna rise to the occasion. I’m not gonna hold up the fight. One or two pounds ain’t gonna really change up the dynamic or outcome of the fight so I’m gonna go into it confident and not worry about that.”

That's what a true champion does. Mighty Mouse should take note ...

Gotta get paid, especially after that long off.

He's obviously dead-set on not entertaining the public.

I'm not a Woodley fan but gotta respect him for this, he's showing up for a fight. He might throw 10 punches a round, but damn it, he's turning up!

I’m ready for the staredown contest this is gonna be.

A bit surprising coming from Woodley. Hopefully he's snapped out of his past mood where he wanted to fight Nate.

He fought Kelvin when he missed weight.

Duh

Think about what 30% of a championship purse is.

Woodley is thinking with his wallet, which I agree with, especially because he couldnt lose his belt regardless

 

[West Linn]

just imagine Pacino saying BIG BALLS and this video will make sense

A bit surprising coming from Woodley.

How is it surprising? Woodley famously fought Kevin Gastelum when KG came in overweight, and let KG keep his purse.

Till will get a massive spike in his purse for the title fight.

20-30% of a LOT is still a lot + Woodley can't lose his belt

Win win for Tyron if till misses weight

My prediction:

-Till misses weight
-Woodley tries to negotiate higher pay in the process before accepting the fight last minute
-Neither fighter willing to engage and fight ends in a boring ass split draw
-Dana shits all over Woodley post fight
-Woodley cries bloody racism

The cycle continues

War Woodley!

Not a huge fan of Woodley but I hope he fucks with Dana and WME by knocking Till clean out.

Hmm... I don't remember.

There's the rub . What percentage of the purse will Woodley want? That's where I see the fight getting held up.

Of course you are, If he misses weight and wins you keep your belt. GTFO.

 

[ArtOfDrowning]

Over 4.5 rounds it is then. Thanks Tyrun for the free money

Till missed weight and lost to WB

War woodley
