Tyron Woodley & Kamaru Usman Duke It Out On Twitter
UFC President Dana White even chimed in a few days later, saying Usman was competing in a title bout at UFC 235, with or without Woodley.
Things have become heated between champion and potential challenger, which took a turn via social media as the two battled on Twitter:
Bruh– Quit lying to these people and getting them pumped. Will fight Colby and you this year. He has to catch this fade first https://t.co/3z4Xsqm1dO

What am I lying about? Do I not have a signed contract with your name on it? Just face the reality March 2nd you’re standing across the octagon from Me. Now get your shit together and let’s run it @TWooodley https://t.co/mvgRM3MTEz

Bruh…..you are coming off stupid and I don’t do Twitter Beef you got my line. But what you don’t have is a damn agreement signed by me. Now quit lying before I lose respect for you. I said I will fight both of you. The order is to be determined. Chill, take a number & fall back https://t.co/SdcYYuu46m

I’m coming off stupid…? The order has been determined by the Boss himself @danawhite now like you said you’re the only one who hasn’t signed. I wonder what that means ——– https://t.co/cSeKcCqgpK

That means you are a liar. You just said it was signed and a done deal right? You and Ali forging my signature? I love how “The Bossman” and you are so close. 6 seconds ago you were getting shit on for being 30%. Stop this isn’t your style —- coming off wack https://t.co/Hd4ZJ22SZc

Bruh I ain’t caught a fade in a while and there has been plenty of barbers trying. I fought in Sept homes. I’m the champ. I call the shots you and Colby need to sit y’all ass down somewhere. Ask Till what happened when he thought he wanted some.
