Former UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley isn’t buying Dana White’s recent proclamation that Kamaru Usman is the greatest welterweight of all time. In fact, Woodley believes the declaration has more to do with politics than performance.
During an appearance on Usman’s own podcast ahead of UFC 322, the UFC CEO surprised many fans by labeling Usman not Georges St-Pierre as the division’s GOAT. The backlash was immediate, and Woodley added fuel to the fire in an interview with MMA Fighting, calling the claim absurd and motivated by loyalty rather than legacy. Woodley didn’t mince words when discussing Usman’s place in history.
