In an interview with Fight Hype, Tyron Woodley courteously responded to Dana White’s statements about the former champion being out of his prime. ‘T-Wood’ believes the UFC supremo is trying to protect the brand value of the UFC by bashing the matchup with Jake Paul.

Woodley added that White is belittling the fight as the UFC 266 PPV might clash with the former UFC welterweight champion’s boxing debut.

Tyron Woodley comments on Anderson Silva’s boxing venture

Anderson Silva parted ways with the UFC after falling short of securing the win at UFC Fight Night 181. Following his departure from the UFC roster, ‘The Spider’ chose to re-enter the boxing world and signed up for a bout against Julio Chavez Jr. The fight will be contested this Saturday at the Jalisco Stadium in Guadalajara, Mexico.

Tyron Woodley has lauded Silva for taking the boxing route. The Missouri native is eager to follow in Silva’s footsteps as he is set to embark on his pro boxing career.
