Some may be straight up intended to insult you, other &#8220;sub-tweets&#8221; could be directed at your character without outright saying your name. Now, imagine instead of Joe Schmoe, you&#8217;re a high-profile UFC fighter. The amount of tweets a day alone &#8211; positive or negative &#8211; have to be just overwhelming. Yesterday as Tyron Woodley scrolled through his feed, he saw a curious tweet from ex-UFC fighter Dan Hardy, then a big debate unfolded in public.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-lang=\"en\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">It is not befitting of a world champion to whine so much. A champion is someone that represents courage and strength. An ability to endure difficult circumstances and push on. How is it not obvious that this characteristic negatively affects marketability?<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Dan Hardy (@danhardymma) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/danhardymma\/status\/963445770157469697?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 13, 2018<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Tyron Woodley<\/strong>: <em>&#8220;I pray this comment isn\u2019t for me. Because it\u2019s so bizarre when non-champions say what a champion should represent. Especially with little to zero knowledge of circumstance. But I know it\u2019s not about me, being the respect we have for one another.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Dan Hardy:<\/strong> <em>&#8220;Go back and read some of the comments from your own fans, replying to your tweet. I respect you as an athlete and a champion, but many UFC fans aren&#8217;t Woodley fans, and as a champion it&#8217;s worth listening to them and figuring out why.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Tyron Woodley:<\/strong> <em>&#8220;Go back and check my resume and what I\u2019ve done in a short period of time. See how I captured this title. I respect you, and as a fan it\u2019s worth going back and reading.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Dan Hardy:<\/strong><em> &#8220;Yes, it&#8217;s very impressive, and you are absolutely deserving of that belt. The issue now is that you don&#8217;t feel like you are being promoted properly, but if people don&#8217;t want to watch you fight, why would they spend the money to promote you?&#8221;<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>All of this is fresh off the heels of another airing of grievances from UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley after <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/mma-news\/dana-white\/video-dana-white-makes-clear-nate-diaz-wont-fighting-tyron-woodley\/\">Dana White buried him in the media and called him a liar<\/a>. We think anyone would be angry if their boss did that. Fellow analyst and fighter Rashad Evans even <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/mma-news\/rashad-evans\/rashad-evans-advises-tyron-woodley-quit-wasting-energy-qualms-dana-white\/\">advised Woodley to stop speaking out<\/a> about it to help his relationship with the UFC. However, Woodley isn&#8217;t afraid to stand up for what he believes is right. Whether you side with him or not, how can you not respect his decision?<\/p>\n<p><em>This article first appeared on <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/\">BJPenn.com<\/a> on 2\/14\/2018.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you&#8217;re on Twitter enough, you&#8217;ll start thinking a lot of tweets are about you.
