“If you look at the history of our sport – and it's not just our sport – the history of American culture, certain things are subliminal, racist, that people don't understand. (…) It’s not about black and white. It's about pointing out things that are not right, that are unfair, right and wrong, things that are not equal, no one should be treated in any way because of their color, their race, their gender, their socioeconomic status”, commented the fighter , in an interview with the website MMA Fighting (USA).
Woodley, who faces Stephen Thompson at UFC 209, scheduled for March 4, in Las Vegas (USA), a duel that will mark the rematch between the two, who drew at UFC 205, last November, he also took the opportunity to “poke” his rival regarding the aforementioned problems.
“He (Thompson) won’t understand. He won't understand, because it's not him. That doesn't mean it doesn't exist, I think what we have are individuals who didn't participate and individuals who didn't. No, they feel like it’s not happening”, concluded the champion.
