During the UFC Vegas 11 press conference, Tyron Woodley appeared onstage alone, as it was originally thought that he would sit alongside his upcoming opponent, Colby Covington.
In the lead-up to their highly anticipated fight, Tyron used his platform and the media attention to shine a light on Black Lives Matter. While wearing a hat that read, “Make Racists Catch The Fade Again,” Woodley answered all media questions by stating, “Because Black Lives Matter.” As for Covington, he wore a “Keep America Great” Donald Trump hat.
During his #UFCVegas11 media availability, every answer @twooodley gave included the words “Black lives matter.”
