Recently, UFC President Dana White and UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley have continued to trade verbal blows<\/a> in various interviews following controversial comments made by Woodley in regards to how he feels his race plays a role in popularity in MMA.<\/p>\n

Dana White wasn’t too pleased with Woodley’s comments, which resulted in the UFC President calling Woodley a “drama queen” in a recent interview. This then led to Woodley responding on this week’s edition of The MMA Hour,<\/a> in which he stated:<\/p>\n

\"Tyron<\/p>\n

\u201cHow is Dana White gonna call me a drama queen?\u201d Woodley said. \u201cHe\u2019s the biggest drama queen. I learned from the best.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI just think that we’ve seen Dana, if you get Dana mad, he gets really mad,\u201d Woodley added. \u201cAnd then really quickly \u2014 I think he\u2019s mad at so many people, I think he forgets he\u2019s mad at you. And he almost just wipes it from his memory. I thought it was actually kind of funny when he called me a drama queen.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Now, in a new interview with ESPN, White was asked if Woodley was upset by how the UFC was promoting him leading up to UFC 209 on Saturday.<\/p>\n

He responded:<\/p>\n

\"Dana<\/p>\n

\u201cWho knows? Listen, Tyron, that\u2019s all great stuff. Great stuff. You fought to a draw in your last fight. Finish it,\u201d White said. \u201cFinish the fight. [Thompson] was resilient. It was that type of a fight. It was a back-and-forth fight. It was an amazing fight. It was a draw. If that\u2019s what you want people to focus on, is what a stud champion you are, then go in there and finish it on Saturday night and nobody will be questioning you whatsoever.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

White of course is referring to Woodley’s UFC 205 co-main event majority draw with Stephen Thompson, which saw the champ retain his belt after 2 of three judges scored the fight a draw. He of course will have the chance to secure his first win as champion this Saturday in the main event of UFC 209.<\/p>\n
