Tyron Woodley professional activities and disputes

Overview

Tyron Woodley engaged in a public dispute with Sean Strickland following Strickland’s criticism of coach Din Thomas. Woodley defended Thomas, labeling Strickland a ‘habitual line-crosser’. During this period, Woodley also addressed a perceived grudge held by Joaquin Buckley, noting that Buckley appeared to be fighting with a ‘chip on his shoulder’ due to a declined sparring request from years prior.

Woodley subsequently faced Buckley at RAF 12 in Cleveland, Ohio. After trailing early due to Buckley’s wrestling, Woodley secured a comeback victory in the second round with a score of 14-8. Following the win, the 44-year-old Woodley clarified that he has not retired and expressed interest in continuing to compete in MMA, wrestling, and boxing.
