Let's put the cards on the table. Real is real. If I was a different complexion, I think people and fans would treat me a different way.

From Tyron Woodley

I don't want to be the dude that you just think about with a crazy suit, talking crap, fighting in these super fights and driving a Rolls-Royce.

From Tyron Woodley

I don't believe in ring rust. I used to believe in ring rust, but I talked to my buddy Dominic Cruz, who's a bantamweight, and he basically said it's a mindset. What you do in between in your time off determines how you're going to look when you come in there.

From Tyron Woodley

When things get you in the corner, and it feels like you can't go on, you can fight back. You're never out of the fight.

From Tyron Woodley

I've had five submissions in the first round. I have 3, 4, 5 knockouts. I've had decisions. I've had grinding fights.

From Tyron Woodley

If I'm straight outta shape for a fight, I might need 12 weeks or more to get in shape.

From Tyron Woodley

What got me into MMA first was that I was a wrestler, and I was a gangbanger getting into trouble a lot and getting into fights. I grew up in a family of 15 in a four-bedroom house. It was dysfunctional, so that alone made me want to be an MMA fighter. It's really the only sport where you gotta basically depend on yourself.

From Tyron Woodley

I used to be in a street fight at least twice a week, so locking me in a cage with somebody, with a set of rules and a referee to jump in if something get ugly, and a time limit, like, it don't scare me.

From Tyron Woodley

I love playing Rick Ross' 'Port of Miami' album. Jeezy's 'Thug Motivation 101' is a classic in my opinion, and I still listen to that album to this day. I'm a big fan of OutKast, so pretty much any album they put out is great in my opinion, but I find myself listening to 'Aquemini' a lot. Anything Kendrick Lamar does is great.

From Tyron Woodley

I think the elements to shock the world is either the ability to wrestle and grind somebody out or the ability to knock someone out.
