Woodley calls out Hendricks
Tyron Woodley: “I’m tired of this, man…It’s at the point where I don’t want to sound like I’m whining and complaining, but why do we have a rankings system?”
Although he won his UFC 185 fight against Johnny Hendricks, UFC President Dana White was not impressed with the performance. That could mean Hendricks will have to fight someone else to earn another shot at the welterweight title and Tyron Woodley believes it should be him:
“In the meantime, I think Johny should fight me. We got unfinished business from the Big 12 days. I think it’s a great style match-up. Two wrestlers with heavy power, beating a lot of top 10 guys. I think that when he made his stake to get to the title, he did the same thing Rory did. They beat all these guys and they deserved the title, but they didn’t get it. He finally got his opportunity. Now it’s guys like me, who has had some bumps along the road, but I’ve came back like elastic. You saw me lose to freakin’ Jake Shields and I bounced back and I knocked out freakin’ Koscheck. I lose to Rory MacDonald. Two months later on short notice I knock out Dong Hyun Kim.
“Let’s be for real,” he says emphatically. “Let’s get this going.”
