They had their bout of trash talk before the fight, but Kamaru Usman and Tyron Woodley were nothing but respectful towards one another after the conclusion of their title fight at UFC 235, which saw ‘Nigerian Nightmare’ dominate ‘T-Wood’ in the co-main event to win the welterweight title.
Usman was very emotional after the fight, and the newly-crowned welterweight champion shared an intimate moment with Woodley’s mom backstage.
The 31-year-old started crying when he hugged Mrs. Woodley and, although no words were exchanged, Usman appeared to be apologizing for winning the fight.
Woodley’s mom, real name Deborah Woodley, reassured Usman that it was his time to shine on Saturday.
