Tyron Woodley Drops Heat on Michael Bisping, GSP and Conor McGregor
UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley weighs in on Michael Bisping, Georges St-Pierre and Conor McGregor.
Tyron Woodley may have fought a technical and methodical fight in his rematch with Stephen Thompson at UFC 209, but the UFC welterweight champion has been mixing it up strong in the post-fight aftermath.
In between beefing and trading barbs with UFC President Dana White over the promotional front man saying he scored the fight for Thompson, "T Wood" also found time to weigh in on some other stars in his periphery.
In a recent interview with TMZ Sports, Woodley addressed potential matchups with middleweight champion Michael Bisping, returning legend Georges St-Pierre, and Irish superstar Conor McGregor. In classic Woodley fashion, he hit all topics head on and gave very specific reasons none of the three fights will ever happen.
"Any of those three and guess what? None of those three want to fight me."
"Bisping can say what he wants but styles make fights. I think Bisping would get knocked out by Wonderboy. Granted, he's very consistent. He comes out hard. When have you seen Bisping fight a stalemate or a bad fight? He's never. That's why he's lost some fights, but also why he's won some fights. He would try to come out and fight Wonderboy rushing him and he would probably get kicked and knocked out.
"He would come out and try to fight me like that and I punch harder than him and I'm a lighter guy."
"Georges don't want a concussion. That's why he's trying to go to 155 or talking about the purse and market value. Bisping was the easiest option for the most money. Let's be clear. You can try to act like I ain't a big draw all you want, but Johny Hendricks sent you into a three-year coma from fighting because you didn't want to get hit and concussed.
"He doesn't want to come back, get hit by somebody like me who has been watching him his entire career, and that's been ready to fight him."
"We know Conor don't want it. Conor is now in a position where he would have had to fight somebody real. He would've had to fight me, Tony Ferguson or Khabib [Nurmagomedov] and he knows we aren't good matchups for him. He knows we aren't going to fall into his antics and him talking crap. We're not going to let that bother us and he knew he had to make a choice.
"His best option is to take the Floyd fight, take the L and walk away in the wind with $70 million and remain a legend in MMA."
