Tyron Woodley apparently doesn’t quite get Israel Adesanya’s attitude towards his recent remarks.
The former welterweight champion mentioned recently he felt rejuvenated and refocused of late, and planned on winning his world title back before moving up to middleweight and testing himself against the best in that division.
Adesanya, the champion at 185-pounds, brushed off the talk yesterday by saying he felt Woodley was only looking for the biggest payday and could well be suffering from financial issues — an accusation Woodley doesn’t understand.
@stylebender u sound like an idiot! The question was would I move up. The answer is yes. How TF is that calling u out? I'm just not a bitch like U that cowards at the thought of @JonnyBones. If u could read U would see I said my goal is to get my belt back, then move up. Duh!

Taking to Twitter, Woodley sent a public message to Adesanya, firing back at the champion and suggesting things had become more personal.
“[Adesanya, you] sound like an idiot!” Woodley wrote. “The question was would I move up. The answer is yes. How TF is that calling u out? I’m just not a bitch like u that cowards at the thought of [Jon Jones]. If u could read U would see I said my goal is to get my belt back, then move up. Duh!
