Forne lättviktsmästaren Rafael dos Anjos segrade förra månaden mot den forne welterviktsmästaren Robbie Lawler via ett enhälligt domslut under UFC on FOX 26. Enligt många fans var detta tillräckligt för att dos Anjos skulle förtjäna en titelmatch mot nuvarande welterviktsmästaren Tyron Woodley, men det håller Woodley själv inte med om.
Via ’MMAFighting’:
Was it a good performance? If I had Robbie Lawler against the Octagon like [dos Anjos did], would he have been alive or would he have been knocked the f*ck out? He’d have been knocked out.
When you got Robbie against the Octagon and he’s throwing punches in bunches and he’s swinging, hitting elbows and hitting with MMA gloves, yeah he threw 100 punches, but how many actually landed? How many did significant damage? If I get Robbie against the cage, it’s gonna take a couple and he’s gonna go down. Put Stephen [Thompson] against the cage, it took a couple and he went down. Nate Marquardt. Anybody, in win or defeat, if I see the chin and I hit it, they go down.
Woodley har respekt för dos Anjos, dock prioriterar han matcher mot större namn.
I’m looking forward to fighting people who their brands are larger than mine. I’m not looking to bring somebody up. I’m in a position where I did that already. I’ve already sought out to fight the guy with a brand, so that I could project myself and bring myself up. I’m just not interested in promoting other people, man. I worked so hard to self-promote myself. I don’t have no agent. I’m out there in these streets and I’m hustling. Until someone can show me they’re doing the same thing or truly deserve the No. 1 contender, I’m good.
I wasn’t really impressed. I wasn’t impressed.
Vem tycker ni att Woodley ska möta härnäst?
