Former UFC Welterweight Champion Tyron Woodley has explained why he chose to begin his own series of fight camp vlogs on YouTube.
Woodley, who held 170-pound gold on MMA’s biggest stage between 2016 and 2019, has a successful online video series titled “Champ Camp.” The vlog-style videos cover Woodley’s pre-fight preparation, and though created during his time in the Octagon, “The Chosen One” uploaded editions for both of his 2021 boxing bouts with Jake Paul.
As it turns out, the idea for the series came from Woodley’s frustration and disdain for the UFC’s own pre-event series, the renowned Embedded vlogs.
Before each pay-per-view, the promotion posts six vlogs throughout fight week, including coverage of the athletes’ arrivals, weigh-ins, face-offs, and media duties. The videos regularly draw hundreds of thousands of views, with some notable episodes even attracting upwards of one million.
But for the fighters, Woodley doesn’t agree with how they are filmed and the content that is included.
During a recent appearance on The Residency Podcast, the former UFC champ suggested that the Embedded videos are designed to put across a fake reality of the fighters to the fans watching. Woodley also suggested that some content, such as pieces filmed during weight cuts, are too invasive.
“We get millions of views (on Champ Camp) because it’s lifestyle, it’s real sh*t. ‘I may have lost today, I may not have been having a good day, but this is how I move. This is what’s important to me.’ And it may not go side-to-side with an Embedded,” said Woodley. “That’s why I started it. Because they were — everybody had to be in a nice car, everybody had to be flipping a tire. That wasn’t really me.
“Then they only wanted to cover my most miserable moments. That cutting weight is a personal time. It’s times when I don’t think I’m gonna make weight. You don’t deserve to see that, the f*ck?” Woodley added.
While the UFC focuses on fight-week moments, such as the arduous task of weight-cutting, Woodley desired to show the more positive elements of his preparation, hence the creation of his own personal YouTube series.
“You wanna see me at my lows but you don’t wanna cover me when I’m getting awarded in St. Louis for being under 40 years old and a phenomenal businessman? Or being at my son’s wrestling match? They cut all that sh*t out,” said Woodley. “When I saw that, I brought my own guy in… we went viral.”
From Conor McGregor’s pre-UFC 223 bus attack to Khamzat Chimaev and Gilbert Burns’ pre-UFC 273 hotel meeting, the Embedded videos have certainly had their fair share of iconic and memorable moments.
But judging by Woodley’s comments, not every fighter enjoys the presence of cameras during fight week.

Tyron Woodley might be considering entering the world of professional wrestling.
Recently, “The Chosen One” was a guest on The Residency Podcast and was asked about potentially jumping over to the professional wrestling world. Woodley noted that it’s a very real possibility.
He disclosed that WWE was interested in him for a time, and rival promotion All Elite Wrestling (AEW) remains interested in him now. Finally, Woodley vowed to “do all of it” eventually.
“I thought about it. WWE was interested in me for a while, AEW is still interested in me now. I think, for me, I gotta do a couple things first, ’cause that’s something I can do for a while… So yeah, that’s still on the table. I’ma do all of it.”
Woodley once reigned as UFC welterweight champion before being dethroned by Kamaru Usman. That was the beginning of a four-fight losing streak that ultimately ended his UFC run after his contract expired.
He then journeyed into the world of boxing, making his professional debut in back-to-back losses to YouTube star Jake Paul, who actually knocked Woodley out in their second meeting.
While a return to boxing remains on the table, Woodley is also exploring other avenues outside of combat sports, including acting; rapping; and potentially, professional wrestling. In this same podcast appearance, Woodley opened up about how painful his WWE training camp experience was.
Should Woodley actually journey into the squared circle, he’d follow the likes of Ronda Rousey and Brock Lesnar — other fellow former UFC champions who have gone on to dominate the professional wrestling world.

Former UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley has a bone to pick with featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski.
Woodley left the UFC last year following four-straight losses in the Octagon. He hasn’t fought in MMA since but has fought in back-to-back boxing matches against YouTuber turned professional boxer, Jake Paul.
Woodley remains a prominent presence despite his lack of recent fight activity, including podcast appearances and progression in his music career. He isn’t afraid to speak his mind, even when it comes to his former UFC colleagues.
During a recent episode of The Residency Podcast, Woodley took exception with Volkanovski plagiarizing his video blogs.
“I’m a trailblazer. I do everything first and everybody do it afterwards,” Woodley said. “I’m the first vlog, Champ Camp is the number one, still the best, but it’s the first one. Everybody went after me. The first MMA vlog is Champ Camp. And I dare somebody to use it. I had a UFC champion that decided to call his sh*t Champ Camp. (I said), ‘I appreciate y’all, support you, but that’s kinda trademarked, you might wanna take that down. I know you didn’t know’. (He said), ‘Ah cool, cool, I’ll take it down.’ Volkanovski. Can’t call it that ’cause you dilute my brand.”
Woodley most recently produced his ‘Champ Camp’ vlogs for his two fights with Paul. This included footage of him training with Hall of Famer Floyd Mayweather ahead of the first matchup.
Volkanovski has a YouTube playlist entitled ‘UFC 260 – Champ Camp’, which could be what Woodley is referring to. While it appears that Woodley doesn’t hold disdain for the 145lb champion, he may be in talks with Volkanovski soon if his vlogs aren’t titled differently.

Former UFC Welterweight Champion Tyron Woodley has a message for those who downplay the physical requirements of professional wrestling: “That sh*t hurt.”
While drastically different in the form of entertainment they both give out, there’s always been some form of string connecting professional wrestling and mixed martial arts, whether through former UFC Heavyweight Champion Brock Lesnar’s prominent transitions between the Octagon and the ring, or the less successful venture into MMA of CM Punk.
While the likes Matt Riddle and Shayna Baszler, who both formerly competed in the UFC, swapped fighting for sports entertainment, perhaps the most notable to do so is female MMA pioneer Ronda Rousey.
The former women’s bantamweight queen is currently in her second stint in-between the ropes, sitting as the WWE SmackDown Women’s Champion.
One fellow former UFC champ who could be joined “Rowdy” on the WWE’s books is Woodley, who departed the MMA leader last year following four straight defeats.
While he’s dabbled in boxing, resulting in consecutive losses to YouTube star Jake Paul, Woodley also has his sights set on other sports, including Muay Thai and professional wrestling, the latter of which he’s already has a taste of.
During an appearance on The Residency Podcast, “The Chosen One” admitted he was open to a future pro-wrestling venture, and also discussed his experience partaking in a WWE training camp a few years ago.
It’s safe to say that Woodley learned the physically of the industry the hard way…
“Yeah, I did a little WWE training camp. That sh*t hurt my back like a motherf*cker,” said Woodley. “Hey, let them mothers*ckers who think it’s sweet in the WWE go off them tight-ass ropes. Those ropes will burn your f*cking back, neck, and then my legs, I’m not six-foot-two, so to get across the mothers*cker to the perfect time… ‘Oh, I got clotheslined out the blue!’ That sh*t hurt.
“And you getting hit. When you hit the ground, I’m like, ‘Sh*t, I thought there was like, a microphone underneath there to make a lot of noise.’ No, you’re hitting that motherf*cker. Shoutout to the pro-wrestlers,” added Woodley.
While it may take some time for mixed martial artists to get to grips with the different workings of pro-wrestling compared to fighting, there’s one thing the two perhaps have in common: trash-talking.
Selling a matchup is important for storytelling in WWE, but it’s equally as vital in attracting pay-per-view buys for the UFC, which often leads to some heated exchanges. The UFC 272 build-up, for example, saw Colby Covington direct personal insults towards opponent Jorge Masvidal.
Having sent his fair share of trash talk his opponents’ way, Woodley seemingly had little issue with the WWE microphone in his hand, and even drew some praise from legendary figure Paul Levesque, aka Triple H.
“They said, ‘You done? Okay, let’s cut a promo.’ So they all sit down and I’m like, ‘The f*ck is a promo?’ I didn’t wanna say that I didn’t know what the f*ck it is,” said Woodley. “But then it kinda led me to believe that I just needed to talk a little sh*t. Then I did [LAUGHS]. Triple H said, ‘Dawg, he’s ready, I like this mother*cker.’”
Given Levesque’s instrumental role in nurturing the next generation of pro-wrestlers, that’s certainly high praise indeed for Woodley. Perhaps we’ll be seeing another former UFC champ inside the squared circle sooner rather than later.
