During the press conference, ‘The Problem Child’ was quick to dismiss Woodley’s achievements as a mixed martial artist. He said, “You know I am going to show on Sunday that getting a UFC championship does not mean s**t in the world of boxing.”
“I don’t respect what he has done at all. And to be honest, it started in the locker room with the Ben Askren fight. After he got choked out in the first round, I told him, I said you and your best friend are going to have a lot in common after tonight. You both got finished in the first round.”
