Many fans and celebrities shared their disgust on the internet over the bizarre clause. Daniel Cormier and other UFC veterans advised Woodley to not get the tattoo. However, Woodley walked a different path.
In an interview with Ariel Helwani, “The Chosen One’ responded to the advice given by the MMA community. Woodley said, “Man, all these MMA people trying to tell me what to do. Where the f** were these MMA people when they were booing me? When they didn’t give me respect, didn’t give me the props but everybody wanna tell me what to do and how to do it. And they all want to follow me now.”

He added, “Now everybody in the boxing gym and f*ing shadow boxing and wanna give advice. I appreciate the love and support, but think about it. None of these people were on my side. Now I’m supposed to f*ing care what you say? No, I got love for DC, but s**t when it comes down to talking about the rematch just makes more sense for me to get a little tattoo that I got a story behind it. I got robbed by the judges and I f**king knocked this kid through the ropes and said I lost.”

‘The Chosen One’ lost his first-ever boxing match against Jake Paul this Sunday. It was a split decision victory for the YouTuber who went 4-0. However, Woodley wasn’t pleased with the results, as he believed he won the fight. Hence, to secure the second fight, the former UFC welterweight agreed to the bizarre clause.
