“You garbage, your whole squad is garbage, that’s why nobody wants to endorse you guys.”
Tell us how you really feel, Tyron Woodley.
On a recent episode of TMZ’s The Hollywood Beatdown, the former UFC welterweight champion launched an unexpected, expletive-laden tirade against Kelvin Gastelum, who ‘T-Wood’ narrowly beat at UFC 183 to earn a title shot against then-welterweight champ Robbie Lawler.
Woodley’s tirade comes in response Gastelum’s recent comments at the Dominance MMA media tour, where the former UFC welterweight contender said he would like to run things back with ‘The Chosen One’ at a future date.
“Who? Kelvin Fat-selum?” Woodley said, per MMA Fighting’s Jed Meshew. “The one that fought me at middleweight when I was a welterweight and got his ass whooped when I broke my foot, then I gave him his money back and now you’re talking sh*t three years later… Why? Why you want to get your ass whooped again? You got beat on one foot. I played games with you, you didn’t land one punch, you missed weight by 10 pounds, I gave you your money back, I even sent your fat ass some metabolic meals that you didn’t obviously eat.”
“I don’t got no love for you, G, I don’t got no pity for you. I gave you mad props on the air, I gave you mad props on ESPN, I gave you mad props on the Israel fight, I haven’t have nothing to say about you, I was respectful, I didn’t bash you when you missed weight, and now you want to talk sh*t about me?” he continued. “I will f*ck you up right now. I will f*ck you up in the octagon. You garbage, your whole squad is garbage, that’s why nobody wants to endorse you guys. Y’all did y’all own press tour. Nobody required that, nobody asked for that. You set up your own tour? You guys are like f*cking dry toast.”
Woodley then targeted Gastelum’s manager, Ali Abdelaziz, by putting Abdelaziz’ entire team on blast.
“F*ck everybody on Ali’s team, from top to bottom,” Woodley added.
“You know what, let me backtrack. Henry [Cejudo], I don’t really got smoke with you. I just give you sh*t because you be a little irking sometimes but I don’t really have smoke with Henry, he’s a G. I don’t really have smoke with Kamaru [Usman] either to be honest. I like [Justin] Gaethje too, [but] this is the thing, it’s gang gang. If you’ve got smoke with my squad, I’ve got smoke with you…
“Kelvin, you should never mention my name. One, you got your ass whooped and didn’t have to make weight. That’s it. That’s number one. If I go back and say for all the fights I had I want to go back – ‘I want to fight Rory MacDonald again, I want to fight Usman again, I want to fight these guys again’ – sometimes your ass punched in the card and you didn’t go to work that night and you lost. That’s what you gotta deal with. Don’t cry over spilled milk, brother. You’ve had many opportunities to work your way back up to fighting me or work you way back up to say ‘I’m the champion now and now I’m the middleweight king and I want to avenge that,’ and I would kindly come up to whoop your fat ass.”
Gastelum, 27, will look to rebound from his interim middleweight title loss to Israel Adesanya when he takes on Darren Till at UFC 244. The highly anticipated pay-per-view, which features a headlining ‘BMF’ welterweight title fight between Nate Diaz and Jorge Masvidal, takes place next month, Nov. 2 at Madison Square Garden, New York.
