Tyron Woodley made his case for a title shot by hammering the fact that he was the number one ranked fighter and worked his way through top contenders.

Then after he won the title, Woodley was asked who he would like to fight next and he responded with Georges St-Pierre or Nick Diaz, two guys who have been out of the Octagon for almost two years.

Most fans believe Stephen ‘Wonderboy’ Thompson is the rightful next top contender and he recently blasted Woodley for changing his views on fighting the most deserving title contender:

“What’s going through my mind is ‘what is this guy talking about?’” Thompson told FOX Sports on Monday. “I mean he just got the title and he’s already talking about a money fight and trying to choose his opponents. It just doesn’t make sense for him to win the title and then start asking to face guys who haven’t fought in over a year or even three years.

Fight the guy who deserves it. Fight the guy standing right in front of you. Fight the guy who is the legit No. 1 contender. That’s me.

Thompson was actually working the analyst desk for FOX on the night of the fights, so he was able to confront Woodley immediately after his win over Lawler.

Woodley quickly shot down his title fight aspirations and instead shifted his focus towards Diaz and St-Pierre while essentially ridiculing Thompson for picking Lawler to win the fight with him at UFC 201.
