Woodley's hate is nothing surprising to me.
Firstly, he beat a fan favorite in Robbie. Knocked him out cold in the first, that's not going to sit too well with a lot of fans.
Secondly, traditionally in MMA black fighters have had to deal with more hate than white fighters as at the end of the day the majority of fans are white Americans. And if you think I'm pulling the race card then you're just delusional as fuck.
Same bullshit happened to Rashad, he knocked out Chuck who was a massive fan favorite. And hate he got was almost as crazy as the hate JBJ gets now.
Weidman knocks out Anderson, fucking tons of fans were made that night. Chael and Conor talks shit everyone loves it, Rashad and Jones says something slightly arrogant we get 20 threads here talking about what pieces of shit they are.
This is just the trend I've observed since more black Americans have seen success in MMA, personally I don't give a fuck about race. I love Robbie, not a big fan of Woodley. I love Rashad and Jones, I love Chuck. Skin color means nothing to me in the fight game.
