Overview
- Dana White recently labeled Kamaru Usman the greatest UFC welterweight, prompting Woodley to reject the claim in a new interview.
- Woodley called Usman a brown-noser who courted favor by accepting any bout, staying in the boss’s good graces, and embracing media obligations.
- Recalling their history, Woodley said he mentored Usman early on and argued he was denied a rematch despite believing he would win most times.
- Usman defeated Woodley for the title at UFC 235 and went on to log five successful defenses, a record that remains central to the debate.
- Woodley also revealed he once negotiated a three-fight path with UFC and is now set to box Anderson Silva on December 19 in Miami.
