Tyron Woodley

It could happen that the UFC welterweight champion, professional mixed martial arts fighter Tyron Woodley would join the ranks of gangsters in his hometown of St. Louis. But the guy managed to take the fate into his own hands and direct the energy in a positive direction - in sports.

Woodley is described as an athlete with incredible physical strength who knocks out opponents in a fight with one stroke of his right hand. Tyrone has a lot of fights, most of which ended in his favor. Fans adore and criticize him, if the tournament, in their opinion, turned out to be smeared. But the fighter claims that "guts and blood" is not his format. The main weapon of the athlete is tactics and respect for the opponent.

The athlete was born on April 17, 1982, in Ferguson, a suburb of St. Louis. Tyrone became the 11th child in the large family of Sylvester and Deborah Woodley. My father left them when the boy was 10 years old. The mother had to raise 13 children on her own. According to the fighter, the woman worked three jobs to keep the family afloat.

Woodley had to defend the honor in street fights from an early age.

Woodley was influenced by the romance of gangster life, and school performance plummeted. He was suspended for 90 days and missed the semester. The chances of influencing fate at that moment seemed minimal, but the young man found the strength to change himself for the better and gradually grew to one of the outstanding athletes of the school.

Tyrone has won awards on the football field and wrestling carpet. The record in the fight was 48-0, behind the shoulders - won in 2000 the state championship. In the same year he took part in the U.S. junior freestyle wrestling championship, where he took 3rd place.

Thanks to the sports successes of the talented guy took note of universities and sent invitations. Woodley enrolls at the University of Missouri, where he holds a degree in agriculture. Tyrone immediately plunges headlong into the sports life of the educational institution - he is taken to the national wrestling team. He captained the team from 2003 to 2005.

Later, recalling his time in Missouri, the athlete recounted how he had to confront racist displays by other students. Then he was charged with clothes, because of his hair. He was almost the only black student from a 400-person stream.

At the same time, the fighter stressed that he did not feel any special attitude during competitions and wrestling sessions. According to Woodley, racism cannot be stopped in his home country, but it can be controlled.

Tyrone is interested in mixed martial arts and finds a coach who could put him on the performance in the nearest amateur tournament. The owner of the hall decides to evaluate the capabilities of the fighter and conducts several training sessions with him. Woodley wins his first fight in 20 seconds. In the status of an amateur, the athlete shows a record result of 7:0, with no meeting reaching the decision of the judging panel. It's a clean victory for Tyrone.

In the professional, the fighter made his debut on February 7, 2009, defeating his opponent Steve Schneider by TKO a minute after the start of the fight. Jeff Carstens' second win came 48 seconds after a suffocating reception. Such bright performances brought Woodley a contract with Strikeforce.

Here the athlete has prospects, he confidently moves to the title of middleweight champion. In 3 years Woodley wins 8, but in a fight for the belt of the champion with Nate Marquardt suffers the first defeat in his career. Woodley has competed in the UFC Ultimate Fighting Championship since 2013. In 3 years he gets to the title of champion in his weight category, which takes away from Robbie Lawler.

The athlete conducts training in the hall in duke Rufus Hall Roufusport MMA Academy. Tyrone constantly challenges Irishman Conor McGregor.

But McGregor is in a different weight, and it looks like they won't have to meet in a fight unless the Irishman moves to another weight category, as he has done several times before. Tyrone himself intends to move to the middleweight by the end of 2019 and compete for the title in the new category. The athlete announced this in the Ariel Helvaini Show.
