Kvällssvepet: Rafael dos Anjos till attack mot Tyron Woodley: “Skäms!”

Under det senaste dygnet har welterviktsmästaren Tyron Woodley gjort klart att han vill möta Nate Diaz i sin nästa match – och fått ett ja från Stocktonsonen. Woodley har också berättat att han erbjudits ett möte i juli, möjligen på storgalan UFC 226 under International Fight Week.

“Skäms!”

En som inte roas över dessa nyheter är den tidigare lättviktsmästaren Rafael dos Anjos. “RDA” har sedan han flyttade upp till weltervikt vunnit tre raka matcher mot motståndare som Tarec Saffiedine, Neil Magny och nu senast Robbie Lawler, och UFC-presidenten Dana White var i januari tydlig med att brassen stod näst på tur för en match om welterviktsbältet.

Nu går dos Anjos till attack mot Woodley via sin Twitter, där han uppmanar mästaren att skämmas.

@TWooodley man up and stop talk about fight that make no sense, everyone know that I'm the real contender. You want to fight a guy that has never beat a real welterweight in his whole life. Shame on you…

“Man up and stop talking about fights that make no sense, everyone knows that I’m the real contender. You want to fight a guy that has never beat a real welterweight in his whole life. Shame on you,” skriver dos Anjos på sin Twitter.

Welterviktsmästaren Tyron “T-Wood” Woodley bör skämmas, enligt den tidigare mästaren Rafael dos Anjos.

Har två vinster som welterviktare

dos Anjos återfinns för tillfället som #2 på den officiella welterviktsrankingen, enbart bakom Stephen “Wonderboy” Thompson och mästaren Woodley. Nate Diaz figurerar för närvarande på en #8-plats på lättviktsrankingen. Den yngre Diaz-brodern har genom sin karriär två vinster som welterviktare – en mot Conor McGregor och en mot Marcus Davis.

Woodley har försvarat sitt bälte tre gånger – två gånger mot “Wonderboy” och det senaste mot Demian Maia. Mästaren har därefter varit frånvarande från sporten på grund av en axeloperation.

GSP tillbaka i gymmet.

How would you do if you had to fight yourself? This is always an interesting hypothetical question – in the case of Georges St-Pierre and Jake Shields it is actually a practical question! I have never seen two athletes so closely matched in skill level, tactics, technique etc in ground grappling. When they spar each other the only difference I see is their appearance and accent – other than that – identical! It’s great to see Mr St-Pierre back in the gym despite his battle with ulcerative colitis. He has had to make considerable changes in his diet to lessen symptoms and still has to avoid certain modes of training, but his grappling looked great as he battled the squad and former rival and now good friend and grappling doppelgänger Jake Shields 😂😂. It impresses me so much to see two great athletes who have a legacy so strong that they could easily stop training altogether and live comfortably as legends, come into the gym everyday and battle the youngsters – giving all of them hell on the mats – an then laugh together after giving each other hell with identical games!

Cody övertygas inte av Dillashaws ursäkter …

Talked myself into shit the UFC offered us both the fight, I accepted and you made excuses! Now you have a injury. 🤦🏻‍♂️ https://t.co/Sf46oSuqP2

Mayweather.

I see some of you are making comparisons to the custom $100,000.00 chinchilla fur coat I wore last night to the off the rack, Rex rabbit fur Frank Lucas wore in his day. One thing for sure is I’ve always dressed fly from head to toe! I’ve been wearing chinchillas since the late 90’s, in fact I wore chinchilla boxing trunks in 2003 in my fight against Phillip Ndou. ‘American Gangster’ didn’t come out until 2007, which was my first time ever hearing of the confidential informant, Frank Lucas. Now I’ve been called plenty of things in my life, but being compared to a legendary snitch is not one of them! Honor & Loyalty has been my code throughout my entire life and that is how I will always remain! I’ve never wanted to be anything or anyone but MYSELF!

Covington sticker ut näsan.

He's got about as good of a shot at fighting Nate Diaz as he does scoring a leading role in Hollywood. #nerdbash2018 https://t.co/B9KYJcs0RJ
