Welterweight champion just over a year ago, Tyron woodley He has already defended his title three times. Even so, rumors suggest that the UFC would be studying the possibility of creating an interim belt for the category, as the North American suffered a serious shoulder injury against Demian Maia, at UFC 214, and is expected to stay out of the octagon until next year. However, the news was not well received by “The Chosen One”, who once again threatened Ultimate leaders.

In an interview with the North American website “Bloody Elbow”, the welterweight champion revealed that, if the UFC really goes ahead with the idea of creating an interim title in his absence, then he will go to “war” with the company.
“If the UFC brings an interim belt, they better be ready to wage war, because I will be the most active and the most vocal, if they think I'm already talking now. I mean, I fought for the title four times in one year. I surpassed the exchanger in striking, Stephen Thompson He didn't manage to look as magnificent as he did against everyone and I indoctrinated Demian Maia. I fought four times in 12 months and I was prepared to fight five times in 18 months, if I could fight in November”, argued Woodley, who also stated that a fight for an interim title does not make sense specifically in the welterweight division.
“No matter what's happening to me, the scenario needs to be dragged out a little longer anyway. You've already talked about Kelvin [Gastelum] coming down, there's Masvidal, there's Stephen Thompson, Robbie Lawler, all these guys need to fight each other to see who is the clear candidate. In the meantime, I’ll be watching while I recover, and then I’ll be ready to defeat the next guy,” he concluded.
