Woodley is such a frustrating fighter to like. By all accounts he's a genuinely good guy, humble, and exciting as hell to watch, but then he tries the trash-talk game and the bandwagon comes to a screeching halt. I feel like he's just trying to follow the Conor blueprint and failing miserably. It's as if everybody saw a parkour video and started thinking they could do some ninja ****, too.

i had almost no interest in watching woodley before the thompson fight. now i want to watch him fight, i don't care against who.
however, you're correct, his self promotion is quite annoying, because it's totally obvious he's just straight up lying about picking opponents.
why would wonderboy lie when he said they sent him a bout agreement for woodley a month ago. there's no way tyron had three seperate bout agreements laying there and he was deciding who he was going to bless, like conor does. he was waiting and trying to drum up fan support for a fight with someone (anyone) else but nobody is buying in...once wonderboy took a picture of his bout agreement, he had no choice but to sign or actually look like he's ducking.
I agree, but to be fair he probably gets slammed with "silly black cuck" tweets on the regular. It's more a problem of (understandably) zeroing in on the psychotic tweets and ignoring the far greater number of rationale tweets.

Cody actually addressed his speaking in his post fight if I recall. Something along the lines of "I don't have much of an education, Dom's got better words, I just wanted to fight".
I'm paraphrasing hard there but he came off super genuine in that. Basically acknowledging he's not a great trash talker or the smartest guy outside the cage, but he can do work inside it.
No "I've got layers, bro" stuff
"I barely graduated HS. I couldn't even read til the 3rd grade." That made me like him. He said Dom would obviously win at trash talk because he's a great talker.
Dom still needs to keep his fling on a leash though.
It's messages like this that are going to get Ronda through these hard times. Hopefully other important figures in Ronda's life like Cyborg and Meisha will come through as well.
Surprised to see this with him scheduled to fight at 209.
Not even remotely a lawyer, but the timing makes sense no? Now they can't pull his fight without getting in trouble for retaliation (not sure given that he's a contractor). Plus he's 42 and can't have too many paydays left, so there's that as well.
The timing seems great to me. This could easily be his last fight in the UFC, he has the media's attention and now if Overeem pops Hunt looks like a martyr.
