Woodley criticized the UFC: “I wasn’t going to fight and get paid as much as Cerrone”

Former UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley outraged by the fact that in the largest MMA promotion he earned as much as Donald Cerrone, who never held the title.

“I knew who was making what. I'm not going to go out and fight and get paid as much as Donald Cerrone. This guy has never owned a belt in his life. It's just a matter of principle.

Sometimes when you're African American in this game, they think you should just be grateful. I’m grateful for the opportunity given to me, but you didn’t give me the gifts that God gave me, I’m grateful to him,” Middle Easy quotes Woodley as saying.

Let us remember that Woodley left the UFC in March 2021 after four defeats in a row. Later that year, the American lost twice to influencer Jake Paul in boxing fights.
