Former UFC fighter Tyron Woodley has lashed out at Barstool Sports owner Dave Portnoy.

Jake Paul vs Tyron Woodley

It’s been a while since we last saw Tyron Woodley compete. In recent years, his most notable appearances came in the form of back-to-back boxing defeats at the hands of Jake Paul.

As you can imagine, there was a lot of hype surrounding their two collisions in the build-up. Before one of the bouts, Barstool Sports’ Dave Portnoy squared the two off and even predicted that Paul would get the knockout win.

In a recent interview, Woodley gave some pretty explosive thoughts on Portnoy.

“We made a lot of money on that then they had some corporate sponsors that had to be on our shorts, which I did not f—k with Barstool Sports. I do not like that dude,” Woodley told Demetrious Johnson. “I cursed him out during the faceoff. I was like, ‘Who the f—k is you? Who told you to say that bulls—t?’ All the fans on Earth said they don’t want to hear that bulls—t. That s—t’s mad disrespectful the way he announced me and Jake.

“I didn’t know who he was, whoever that dude that owns Barstool Sports, but f—k him, whatever his name is,” he continued. “I don’t like him. F—k him. F—k Dave. Dave said some s—tty s—t about some athletes as well, and he said some bulls—t when we fought. People think just because you got money and clout that you gotta worship people, but I don’t. If you a billionaire or a bum, I’m gonna give you the same respect if you earn it. I always give respect, he disrespected me the first time I met him. He don’t get a second chance with me.”
