How many fighters call figthers out in this sport ? So he didnt fight the dude that got out kick boxed by Tim Boetsch and ko by a 45 year old to fight the more dangerous CHAMPION. So whats your point ?
Well at the time Lombard was a top contender and was close to getting a titleshot himself. He and Woodley were very close in the rankings and had previously trained together. Woodley's excuse for not wanting the fight was because he and Hector had history together as training partners and we're friends. Hector basically calls bullshit said they were not friends and he wanted to fight Woodley.
Now he's trying to pull the same shit, wants to fight Nick Diaz who hasn't fought in like two years, hasn't won a fight in even longer, isn't even ranked in the division over #1 contender Stephen Thompson. Woodley likes to pick and choose fights that he thinks he has the edge in style wise, then gives excuses like "we're friends" (Lombard fight) or "it's the money fight" (Diaz fight). He is not the kind of fighter who accepts any and all challnges which is why I'm not a fan of his. Props on the win last night though, he won fair and square, I'm not trying to take that away from him.
