“Let’s start off by having a moment of silence for Woodley’s career. Hold on just one second. Moment of silence.”

‘Chaos’ went on to empty his cup. Following the demonstration, he continued, “That’s Woodley’s career going down the drain. Just like I told you guys, he’s washed up. He don’t want to fight no more, he’s TMZ Woodley. He’s out there rapping making songs about me, hurting people’s ear drums..”

“Who called it? I said he’s washed up. I said he’s 40 years old. He’s a 40-year-old virgin. He doesn’t want to fight anymore. All he did was show up for a paycheck, so I figured we’d have a moment of silence for him and I’d pour out a beer for his career and just like his career, it went right down the drain.”

‘Chaos’ claims Tyron Woodley did his best to avoid facing him

‘Chaos’ persisted and spoke about how ‘The Chosen One’ did his best to avoid fighting him.  

“It sucks. I built that fight for three or four years. I was begging to fight that guy on five days’ notice because I know how washed up he is. He never wanted to fight me, plain and simple. Even when he was the champion and I had the interim title, he was begging to fight lightweights, he was begging to fight anybody but me, and I’m the first guy to scare the champion into elective shoulder surgery.”

The former interim champion said Woodley has feared him from the start.

“The guy’s been scared of me since day one. I think people just found out how much I am a man of my word. Every time I say something, it’s the truth. Maybe it’s the brutal, honest truth, but it’s still the truth. He ducked me his whole career and that’s that. He can go and know that he was a coward.”

Finally, he comments about how the loss allows ‘The Chosen One’ to ride off into the sunset and avoid him yet again.

“You know he didn’t wanna fight the best guys in the division and the thing is he’s happy now. Yea, he got the two losses out of the way. He got his paychecks, but you know what? Woodley didn’t have to lose to me. So he can ride off into the sunset and go to his retirement home and be happy that he doesn’t have to deal with psychiatric he would have to deal with if he had to fight me. He thankful and he’s lucky, he dodged a bullet.”
