Tyron Woodley engages in war of words with Israel Adesanya, Kamaru Usman and Dan Hooker

The social media battle between Tyron Woodley and Israel Adesanya continued on Tuesday night and added some new elements.

Earlier this week, Woodley hosted an Instagram Live session and revealed he had his sights set on a future matchup with Adesanya. In addition, the former welterweight champion stated that Adesanya was “scared of guys with power”, referring to the middleweight champion’s recent title defense against Yoel Romero.

After Adesanya responded to the comments on Twitter, Woodley had more to get off his chest Tuesday afternoon — which ended up being the match that lit the proverbial candle for what was to come.
