It appears that newly crowned UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley will not be squaring off with former title holder Georges St-Pierre in his first UFC title defense.<\/p>\n

UFC president Dana White stated earlier this week that Woodley would be making his first title defense against current division number one contender Stephen Thompson<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Woodley fired back at White on Twitter, stating that he had not signed a contract or verbally agreed to any fight with Wonderboy.<\/a><\/p>\n

Now, sources close to the situation have indicated that the UFC was working on trying to setup a title fight between GSP and Woodley, however the negotiations fell apart reportedly due to contract disputes with the French Canadian.<\/p>\n

Woodley had leaked this text message conversation with St-Pierre <\/a>earlier this week, but it appears that GSP \u2018money fight\u2019 is no longer an option for Tyron at this time. <\/p>\n
