Apparently Matt Brown doesn’t think very highly of UFC Welterweight title contender Tyron Woodley.
While speaking with Jonathan Shrager of MMA Underground this week (watch above), “The Immortal” one made it clear that he isn’t a big fan of “The Chosen One.”
“[Tyron] Woodley, he’s a bitch,” said Brown. “I just don’t like him anyway. I’d fight him in the f**king street for free.”
Brown would elaborate, explaining his dislike for the UFC 170-pound contender, who will be the next man to challenge Robbie Lawler for the UFC Welterweight Championship at UFC 201 in July.
“You go all the way back, he turned down fights. I know he turned down Hector Lombard saying, ‘he’s a teammate’ and then Hector’s like, ‘we’re not teammates, f*ck you, I’ll fight you.’ So that’s a clear bitch move.
“And then sitting out for a year and a half begging for a title shot, coming over a win over – what’s Gastelum? Probably fourteen or fifteen [in the rankings] – a very unimpressive win over a sick Gastellum. He had the flu, right. Missed weight by ten pounds.”
Brown’s anti-Woodley rant wouldn’t end there.
“I’ll tell you what originally kind of got me disliking Woodley is how he claims that he won over Carlos Condit. That’s just simply not a win. You cannot claim that a win. Yeah you won the first round but you won the fight by default. Condit got hurt. Condit’s not a one round fighter. You don’t see Condit win too many fights in the first round. He gets stronger as the fight goes on and he was just starting to pick it up on Woodley and Woodley is a one round fighter.
“Then he’s always on Twitter just talking and he told me to keep my name out of his mouth when he’s the one talking to me. He’s just not the personality that I like. He’s not a warrior, he’s not a soldier. If we were on the battlefields in the 1200’s, in the Medieval, the Dark Ages, this motherf*cker would be back hiding in the bushes while guys like me, I’d be on the fucking front lines with a sword in my hand. He’d be over in the f*cking bushes throwing tomatoes and shit or something. So he’s not my kind of person.”
Brown concluded, “He’s getting the title shot. I can’t complain about that. I worry about myself. I ain’t worried about what he’s doing but I think Lawler’s gonna knock him out pretty good.”
UFC 201: Lawler vs. Woodley is scheduled for July 30, 2016 at Philips Arena in Atlanta, Georgia.
