SUMMARY
- Tyron Woodley is a former UFC welterweight champion.
- Recently, an alleged NFSW video of Woodley went viral.
The New Year’s Eve jinx strikes again! Keeping up with the recurring theme of a drama-filled holiday season for the MMA community, we once again have a matter to talk about. Notably, this time, it revolves around former UFC welterweight champ, Tyron Woodley.
Previously, we have seen some pretty messy situations from UFC personalities during the holidays. Be it Jon Jones and his wife, Dana White, and his wife last year, it has almost become a regular happenstance. Thus, as it seems we now have Tyron Woodley and his wife, Averi Woodley embroiled in a fresh controversy. Owing to the leaking of a sex tape, there is a lot of talk surrounding the two.
For the most part, “The Chosen One” has been separated from Averi for a while now. Despite no official divorce, it was quite evident in 2018, that the two had parted ways. However, in light of recent events, Averi’s associations with her ex-husband have been brought up again. Last seen celebrating her 41st birthday at the Bellagio Hotel And Casino in Las Vegas, NV, Averi shared a snap of her meal on New Year’s Eve, “A true power couple. Dom and Caviar.”
Naturally, with the leaked clip doing the rounds, it is understandable why all eyes are on Averi. Although it is not confirmed as to whether she is the female in the video, many seem to believe so. Further, owing to her complexion and the dated quality of the clip, some assume that it is a throwback to their good old days. Currently, neither Tyron nor Averi have made any comments regarding the leak.
MMA Community reacts to the leaked video of Tyron Woodley
As mentioned previously, there is no real evidence to know where the leak emerged from. Owing to the clip being leaked so close to Averi’s birthday, some have theorized about a potential link. Similarly, some have also pointed to his fiance, Kia as well. With that said, there is no doubt that the video is a PR disaster for Woodley, who is currently working as an analyst for DAZN.
Previously, there was a lot of talk regarding “T-Wood” especially after he retired from the UFC. Once hailed as one of the best welterweights, Woodley saw a sharp decline after losses to Kamaru Usman, Colby Covington, and Vicente Luque. Following that, Tyron tried his hand at boxing, only to come up short against Jake Paul on two separate occasions.

Thus, the recent leaks have once again brought relevancy to the 41-year-old. With his fighting days well behind him, it had been a while since the people had heard anything from Woodley. Naturally, since the leaks have come out, it is all the MMA community has been talking about. All things considered, people are seeing the funny side of it and coming up with some hilarious responses as well.
Notably, Jake Paul and Nina Marie Danielle were a few of the personalities who commented on the leaks. As mentioned previously, we are yet to see a response from Tyron or from his ex-wife Averi on the matter. Thus, it is expected that the former UFC champion will eventually come out and clear the air, hopefully vindicating his ex-wife in the process.
