Tyron Woodley found out that a seven-figure deal to fight KSI was off via social media posts after the pair had agreed terms for a fight this year.
The legendary former UFC welterweight champion had agreed to stringent terms including a pound-specific weight and a restrictive rehydration clause for the pair to meet on January 14. But KSI ended up opting for Dillon Danis instead, who was ultimately replaced by Faze Temperrr after he pulled out just days before the fight.
It would have marked Woodley's return to the ring after his knockout defeat to Jake Paul, and motivation was high to snap his six-fight losing streak between MMA and boxing. But after flying to Dubai to confront KSI in-person at his brother Deji's fight with Floyd Mayweather, the ex-UFC star learned that promoters had opted for Danis instead.
