UFC Welterweight Champion Tyron Woodley has been more outspoken about racial issues than most UFC fighters, probably thanks in part to his hometown being Ferguson, Missouri. The police shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson helped ignite a lot of the current conversations about race in the United States, the Black Lives Matter movement, and so on, so as a black man from Ferguson, this all hits home for Woodley.
While it’s understandable that he’s upset, he may have gone too far in the above interview with TMZ Sports. Taking offense to Trump’s comments about Ferguson because you ain’t never been to Ferguson and that’s where I’m from,” the champion added that “he gotta keep Ferguson out his mouth so he can keep my fist out of his mouth.” Being that something like that could be perceived as a threat towards a presidential candidate, it wouldn’t be the most surprising thing in the world if he got a visit from the Secret Service soon.
Former UFC fighter Jacob Volkmann was reportedly interviewed by Secret Service agents after saying this about President Barack Obama: “Someone’s got to knock some sense into that idiot.” Whatever you think of either fighter or what they said, and while Woodley doesn’t seem like someone who would attempt to attack Trump, that’s just vigorously these things are investigated.
