'Universal mom' Deborah Woodley showed true grace after her son Tyron's defeat at UFC 235

[ViShawn]

After speaking with his mother, Deborah, it’s easy to understand why.


All of a sudden, Usman hears a voice and makes a 90-degree turn to his left, where he embraces Woodley’s mother. The mother of the fallen champion throws her arms around the man who just defeated her son and pats him on the back.

Usman respectfully tells her he’s sorry. She won’t have any of that.

“It’s OK,” she said. “It’s all good, baby. It’s all good. It’s all good. It’s all good, honey. Bless your heart. It’s all good.”

Usman appears moved to tears by her kindness and puts his head on her shoulder. She continues to speak matronly to him.

“It’s your turn,” she said. “It ain’t his turn. It’s your time. Be encouraged. You hear me? And keep on working, because they’re going to come for you. And you take it to them.”

She pats him on the back and he turns away and returns to his locker room.

"It ain't his turn, it's your turn."
I don't know how I would feel about that.


Good thing my mom would be like: "fukk that nikka, you'll get his ass next time."

 

[DrDoom]

I respect both usman and deborah in this instance. True respect by both. Embodies black excellence

 

[The Guru]

Teh fact he was so upset to face her tells you something about his character Much respect due to her as well of course. And Ali Abdelaziz got two champions now with Khabib and Usman

 

[Phitz]

Classy.....both Woodley and Usman are great champions

 

[director_of_bands]

nothing against this lady but you gotta keep women in check or they quickly go off course just like this my mom used to pull the same sht at church too I wasn't trippin though

 

[ViShawn]

She knows how hard it is being a black man in this world so she was showing solidarity.

 

[Moody]

She did the same thing with Darren Till. That woman has a pure soul and this kind of loving attitude is the reason she raised a champion.

Tbh she also did her son a huge service cause this sorta stuff helps when discussing a rematch. Hope Usman gives Covington a world of hurt and we run this one back in November.
