Tyron Woodley and the UFC Will Never Get Along

What will it take for Tyron Woodley to get the credit he deserves?

Woodley, who defends his UFC welterweight championship Saturday night against Kamaru Usman, isn't just under-appreciated. It's not just that he's given less respect than other UFC champions, some of whom have nowhere near the accomplishments listed on Woodley's resume.

It's not just that he's regarded with disdain by UFC President Dana White, who seems to take personal delight in pointing out Woodley's shortcomings and thereby diminishing him in the eyes of UFC fans who aren't devoted enough to make considered decisions for themselves.
