I did not say that anything racist had happened. If anything, you are the reason race has been brought up at all other than the label "Sherfront," But there's no fucking way that would get you this worked up, so it's pretty damn clear you're trying to get another conversation going where you can blame the world for playing the race card like you've been doing for 4+ years on this website.
1. By calling Sherdog "Sherfront" in the context in which you did, you most certainly averred that racism was the issue here. Take responsibility for your words.
2. I'm always willing to talk about race in any number of contexts, but I think given the intensity of feeling in invokes it is wise to avoid starting such a conversation by recklessly labeling large groups of people as if they were white supremacists. You were being an ass, and I pointed that out.
3. Of course I am not the one who brought up race. That was you. Again, take responsibility.
This is where you're fucking up, though. I didn't call it Sherfront because of any response to this story, which is what you've decided to narrow in on by telling me to "point out specifically who you think is racist and what they said that you think was racist" and also say "The issue is whether his race matters in this specific instance." I don't need to take responsibility for a narrative you've created.
Who cares?
You introduced race into a discussion that was not previously about race and you did it in a deliberately insulting way. You were being an ass. I think you know this.
Obviously you do. You're the one who has tried to analyze my entire tenure at Sherdog.
“I was really pissed off,” Woodley said. … “I could see if it was a situation that I literally just made up.”
To Woodley, all he was saying was that he thinks [a fight against Diaz] could happen. He never said that there was a bout agreement or specific negotiations going on. Woodley said he thinks White went too far in essentially calling him a liar.
“That’s a little bit harsh, a little bit hardcore for somebody who is wearing the belt of your organization, that people and young fighters aspire to enter the UFC, they aspire to be UFC champion,” Woodley said. “I don’t think many people are going to aspire to be the champion when they see how champions are treated. And they see that the non-champions and the people that are unprofessional — middle-finger flicking, shit talking — they’re actually making the money.
“So what kind of picture are we trying to put out? I thought we were going in the direction to be parallel with the NFL, NHL, MLB and the other professional sports. It’s a circus until it comes to Tyron [The Victim] and now we want to go back to the old-school rubric. I got issues with that.”
Woodley said that White told him on the call that the fight the UFC wants is Woodley defending the title against Rafael dos Anjos. Woodley said that fight has never been formally offered to him and if it was, he would accept it. All Woodley is trying to get across, he said, is that he wants a fight with a big-name opponent.
One day after Woodley said a fight with Diaz was a possibility, Diaz essentially backed him up. Diaz told ESPN that Woodley was “my best option” for a comeback bout. Woodley noted that White never said anything about those quotes from Diaz.
“I just didn’t think that was right,” Woodley said. “I think even if he thought that way, it could have been said a different way. I think a lot of people spun what I was saying. Never said this fight was in negotiations. Never said any of those things. Then when Nate came out, I never heard anybody say how full of shit Nate was. It’s so funny it was a one-sided bashing.”
. . .
White said Diaz has never been offered to Woodley.
. . .
There was a time when the UFC reached out to him and committed to doing things differently in terms of marketing him, Woodley said. But the Missouri native feels like that has stopped and “shit ain’t working.” White’s “full of shit” comments are just the latest demonstration of that, he said.
“It can’t go down like that,” Woodley said. “It’s very damaging for me, for a fighter that’s trying to generate his brand and his name.”

While it's far from fair, Dana is the most important person in mma from a financial perspective, talking shit to, or about him is only going to hurt woodley. Not fair but welcome to the real world“I was really pissed off,” Woodley said. … “I could see if it was a situation that I literally just made up.”

I just want this bratty/entitled/delusional fuck to go away from this 15 minutes of slight fame he has weasel'd his way into.
Thank you.Sorry but i have to do this
What did Woodley lie about?So Dana wasn’t lying...and Tyron was. And now Tyron doesn’t like that.
think that fight will happen. I think it will happen this year. I think it’s way more likely than people realize. There are conversations about Nate and I fighting in July. The UFC has offered Nate that fight. They just have to make it worth his while. I think I’ll fight Nate this year, and I think it will be my return to the Octagon. If I had to bet the house on it, that’s my next opponent.”Man, do you haters actually ever read anything Tyron says?
I don't see how you can possibly think he's wrong here.
Dana went on TV and said Tyron, his company's Welterweight champion, is full of shit. How does that help Tyron, or the UFC to have the promoter go on TV and say something like that? He was completely dismissive of Tyron.
Tyron hasn't turned down a fight. He's defended 3 times already. He didn't turn down RDA, but he is putting out the word that he'd like to get paid. A fight with Diaz would get him paid.
Do i want to see that fight, when Nate has no WW wins? No. But, i don't blame Tyron for trying to get as much money as he can, while he can
There is no harm in teasing a fight. The UFC does it all the damn time.
Conor fought Floyd after the WHOLE WORLD said that would never happen . If that can happen, if Brock can make a comeback, if Jones can come back after popping for roids 2x, and if GSP can fight for the MW title, then ANYTHING can happen.
Dana was being a dick
