UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya is a “pimp” and lightweight contender Dan Hooker is his “lil’ prostitute,” according to former welterweight champion Tyron Woodley. And considering how effortlessly “The Last Stylebender” disposed of “The Chosen One” on Twitter, I’d say that qualifies as a pimp slap.
Yes, we’re really doing this.
Woodley went after Hooker because “The Hangman” was having a laugh at the ex-champ’s social media spat. That led to a series of exchanges that were on brand for Woodley, or at least the Woodley who’s portrayed in those goofy rap videos.
Izzy your pimp I see. You are quiet the Obedient woman of the night. You have made a living off taking shots and finding a way to come back . #BendingYouOverWithStyle #TooEasy! https://t.co/Qqs3b2LsB4

The connection? Adesanya and Hooker both hail from New Zealand.
Key word Champ. A word that will never be attacked to a name like yours. Stay out of grown folk biz you lil prostitute https://t.co/kSLuOOp798

Woodley was supposed to be fighting Leon Edwards in London before the coronavirus pandemic shut down most of the world. Similarly, Hooker was scheduled to dance with Dustin Poirier in San Diego, but that bout has also been postponed while the promotion tries to figure out how to stage live events without getting everyone killed.
