Sean Woodson responds to controversial loss Dan IGE on UFC 314
While IgE Woodson pressed round 3 halfway through the round 3, Woodson tried a desperate branchedown with one leg to pause the progress of IgE. Ige answered with various hammerfists on Woodson, who did not defend the strikes, but clearly seemed to be in the attempt to bring Ige.
Referee Andrew Glenn stepped in to break the action and handed Ige the TKO victory. Woodson immediately protested against the interruption and UFC commentators Joe Rogan and Daniel Cormier were audibly confused by the decision to wave off the fight.
Hours removed from the controversial defeat, Woodson went to social media and played the page about the abrupt end of his UFC 314 showcase.
In a recent Instagram post, Woodson appealed his next after UFC 314.
“Thankful for this life. Thankful for these opportunities. Everyone, regardless of the result is an opportunity to learn and grow like a person. This is what I live for,” Woodson said. “Setbacks to face.
“I have changed my life through this sport. Both beautiful and brutal, I still love everything in me. I have lost a fight, but I have won in life. Thanks to all my family, friends, fans and team. Your support is greatly appreciated. I love you all. I am back.” I promise. “
The controversial loss ended Woodson's Zeven-Vecht undefeated series, with recent victories over Alex Caceres, Fernando Padilla and Charles Jourdain. The talented boxer is still considered by many to be the 'boogeyman' of the featherweight division.

Dana White is about the lack of UFC competence after canceling GFL's events
The controversial defeat of Woodson was one of the few spots on a different fireworks filled night on UFC 314, covered by the title release of Volkanovski in the main event. Despite the success of UFC 314, UFC CEO Dana White honestly worried about the lack of promotional competition in the midst of one of the rivals of the UFC who have difficulty running the ground.
The Global Fight League, prior to a long -awaited headliner between Tony Ferguson and Dillon Danis, canceled various upcoming events before the launch of the inaugural season. At the moment it is uncertain whether the GFL will continue with future cards.
The comments from White come after the UFC signed various top names from the PFL, including Aaron Pico and UFC 314 Debutant Patricio 'Pitbull'. Pico is expected to make his UFC debut later this summer against an opponent to be determined, after a rumor collision with Movsar Evloev did not flourish.
The UFC is also in active negotiations on the next deal of the broadcasting rights, after the exclusive negotiating window came with ESPN and went. The UFC returns next weekend with UFC Kansas City, with a headliner between Ian Machado Garry and Carlos Prates.
