Tyron Woodley calls out Demian Maia for UFC 214: If you want the belt, come and get it

According to UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley, his next title defense will be against Brazilian Jiu Jitsu expert Demian Maia. But Maia, a former UFC middleweight title challenger, hasn't decided on a date.

'T-Wood' wanted to let Maia know that he doesn't get to decide when he'll fight for the title — the champion does.

Woodley told Maia to accept the fight for the upcoming UFC 214 pay-per-view, which takes place next month, July 29.

“If you want a showdown with me, you have to meet me July 29, that’s the date,” Woodley told Maia on the latest edition of UFC Tonight, per Damon Martin of FOX Sports.
