Meanwhile, UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley has accused Georges St-Pierre of faking an injury.
“All these fights are warm-up fights now. I beat all of the tough people. They’re all a warm-up fight,” Woodley told TMZ.

“So, I don’t know, man. I’m going to get my shoulder fixed and I’m going to watch the game be as ridiculous as it’s been and see who’s next.”
