Kamaru Usman: ‘I get mad blame and a lot of hate’ for Tyron Woodley’s decline

Just three years ago, Tyron Woodley was on the path to UFC welterweight greatness. But that ride came to a rude halt when he was dominated by Kamaru Usman at UFC 235 in 2019.

Not only did he lose the belt on that March 2nd night, but “The Chosen One’s” career also went into a downward spiral from then on. He lost his next four fights in the UFC and was subsequently released. And in August, he also lost his professional boxing debut against Jake Paul.

Fans on social media apparently took notice of this and decided to lay the blame on Usman.
