Apparently Matt Brown doesn’t think very highly of UFC Welterweight title contender Tyron Woodley.
While speaking with Jonathan Shrager of MMA Underground this week (watch above), “The Immortal” one made it clear that he isn’t a big fan of “The Chosen One.”
“[Tyron] Woodley, he’s a bitch,” said Brown. “I just don’t like him anyway. I’d fight him in the f**king street for free.”
Brown would elaborate, explaining his dislike for the UFC 170-pound contender, who will be the next man to challenge Robbie Lawler for the UFC Welterweight Championship at UFC 201 in July.
“You go all the way back, he turned down fights. I know he turned down Hector Lombard saying, ‘he’s a teammate’ and then Hector’s like, ‘we’re not teammates, f*ck you, I’ll fight you.’ So that’s a clear bitch move.
“And then sitting out for a year and a half begging for a title shot, coming over a win over – what’s Gastelum? Probably fourteen or fifteen [in the rankings] – a very unimpressive win over a sick Gastellum. He had the flu, right. Missed weight by ten pounds.”
Brown’s anti-Woodley rant wouldn’t end there.
“I’ll tell you what originally kind of got me disliking Woodley is how he claims that he won over Carlos Condit. That’s just simply not a win. You cannot claim that a win. Yeah you won the first round but you won the fight by default. Condit got hurt. Condit’s not a one round fighter. You don’t see Condit win too many fights in the first round. He gets stronger as the fight goes on and he was just starting to pick it up on Woodley and Woodley is a one round fighter.
“Then he’s always on Twitter just talking and he told me to keep my name out of his mouth when he’s the one talking to me. He’s just not the personality that I like. He’s not a warrior, he’s not a soldier. If we were on the battlefields in the 1200’s, in the Medieval, the Dark Ages, this motherf*cker would be back hiding in the bushes while guys like me, I’d be on the fucking front lines with a sword in my hand. He’d be over in the f*cking bushes throwing tomatoes and shit or something. So he’s not my kind of person.”
Brown concluded, “He’s getting the title shot. I can’t complain about that. I worry about myself. I ain’t worried about what he’s doing but I think Lawler’s gonna knock him out pretty good.”
UFC 201: Lawler vs. Woodley is scheduled for July 30, 2016 at Philips Arena in Atlanta, Georgia.

If Cris “Cyborg” Justino sticks to her word, Invicta FC president Shannon Knapp is keeping a spot open for her.
Cyborg shot down a reported UFC 201 fight with Germaine de Randamie recently, stating that she’ll defend her Invicta FC featherweight title next.
Knapp told MMAjunkie that the Invicta FC 18 event on July 29 – one day before UFC 201 in Atlanta – would move ahead with Cyborg in the main event if that is the road she decides to take. Knapp, though, stressed that she is currently signed to a Zuffa contract and could be placed on that card instead.
“I’m working on the 29th,” she said. “If all parties agree, then certainly she would (headline).”
Cyborg (16-1) ran through Leslie Smith at UFC 198 this past weekend. The contest took place at a catchweight of 140 pounds, though the Brazilian came in a pound under that mark. She has stated issues with trying to get down to 135 in the past to compete for the UFC’s bantamweight division.

A second title fight has been added to UFC 201, as Demetrious Johnson defends his belt against Wilson Reis.
The bout was first reported on “UFC Tonight” Wednesday evening.
Johnson (24-2-1) has defended the belt eight times previously, including a recent first round finish vs. Henry Cejudo. “Mighty Mouse” also holds wins over John Dodson, Kyoji Horiguchi and Joseph Benavidez during his run.
Reis (20-6) is coming off a decision victory over Dustin Ortiz, but was bested by Jussier Formiga prior to that. He is 3-1 over his last four and 8-2 over his last 10 fights.
UFC 201 takes place July 30 from the Philips Arena in Atlanta. Tyron Woodley challenges Robbie Lawler for the welterweight title in the main event.
Reigning UFC flyweight kingpin Demetrious “Mighty Mouse” Johnson has put a serious hurting on the 125-pound division since becoming the inaugural champion in 2012. He has since defended his strap an ultra-impressive eight-straight times, and has come away with five finishes in those eight victories. His most recent accomplishment was a breath taking one, as
Reigning UFC flyweight kingpin Demetrious “Mighty Mouse” Johnson has put a serious hurting on the 125-pound division since becoming the inaugural champion in 2012.
He has since defended his strap an ultra-impressive eight-straight times, and has come away with five finishes in those eight victories. His most recent accomplishment was a breath taking one, as “Mighty Mouse” demolished former Olympic gold medalist Henry Cejudo in the first round of their bout at last month’s UFC 197 from Las Vegas, Nevada.
Some may argue that Johnson has already cleared out the division, an argument that has the UFC scrambling to create intriguing matchups for their flyweight title holder.
It was recently announced that the winner of the upcoming 24th season of The Ultimate Fighter will receive an immediate title shot and take on Johnson at the finale next December.
Somewhat surprising news then came out tonight (May 18, 2016) as well, indicating that the champion isn’t willing to sit around and wait until then.
UFC Tonight’s Megan Olivi reported that Johnson will next defend his title against No. 8-ranked Wilson Reis in the co-main event of July 30’s UFC 201 from Atlanta, Georgia.
Reis has won three of his last four bouts including victories over the likes of Joey Sanchez, Scott Jorgensen, and Dustin Ortiz. Most recently, he earned a decision over Ortiz last January.
UFC 201 will be headlined by a welterweight title clash, as reigning 170-pound champion Robbie Lawler defends his title against Tyron Woodley.
