UFC fans are racist as fukk and hate to see a brother win. From DC, Jones, Rumble, Evans, Woodley etc there's always a irrational narrative to justify their not so subtle bias. I've long stopped trying to rationalise their bullshyt. Woodley might be the most inoffensive fighter in the UFC and the hate he's been getting from Sherdog to Bloody Elbow is disgusting. I've been savoring the tears tbhNot liking the heat Woodley is getting for treating this like a business. Dude is 34 and is trying to get paid, people can kick rocks with this "love of the game" " jargon.
It IS a business and he now owns a major bargaining chip. .. it's barely a step above WWE in the sense that there is no clear cut architecture to a title shot.
The Phrase "needle mover" is the criteria for $$ and belts in the UFC ...period.
By making the Internet angry for "ducking wonderboy" as they put it, they're now gonna tune in to see whoever he fights in hopes he gets his head knocked off. So the very thing the Internet is angry at him for (looking at it like a business) they're gonna help him with.
Him vs Wonderboy as a fight makes "sense" sure but doesn't change his life the way a GSP or Diaz fight could and he ain't wrong for the reach IMO.
