Tyron Woodley’s stunning loss to Kamaru Usman, right, at UFC 235 was also notable for what happened afterwards. On Wednesday, UFC released a clip of Tyron’s mother Deborah Woodley comforting her son on his way to the locker room at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
“Good fight dude. Good fight,” she told her son. “It was a good fight, man. It was a good fight. Just be encouraged. Go back to the drawing board.”
After celebrating his victory with his daughter, Samira, in the ring, an emotional Usman heard a familiar voice congratulation him as he limped to the locker room with his new welterweight title belt slung over his shoulder.
Usman respectfully apologized to Deborah Woodley for defeating her son. “It’s OK,” she said graciously. “It’s all good, baby. It’s all good. It’s all good. It’s all good, honey. Bless your heart. It’s all good.”
Usman was moved to tears as she said, “It’s your turn. It ain’t his turn. It’s your time. Be encouraged. You hear me? And keep on working, because they’re gon’ come for you. And you take it to ’em.”
The clip moved many to tears on social media. UFC fans praised Mrs. Woodley for her gracious and kind spirit.
Director and writer Brad James wrote, “Ain’t nothing like a black mama.”
We are so dope!
I do this for my son in a win or a loss!
I love this!
Wow, this was so dope! Such a positive woman. She knew it was just a fight, but somebody gotta win, and somebody got to lose. She was very gracious.
Now that’s Black Love at it’s best. Excellence
Any woman who cares about their children are going to do this…I know I encourage my kids even when they lose or loss something or anything for that matter! It’s not that hard when you love your babies and don’t care who’s around. No matter their age either! Go Momma, a good look!
Brad James is beautiful ?!
Oh yeah, that was nice of mom. Old school mothers are the best, periodt ?.
Even after being raised by such strong black women, the black men still turn their backs on black women and pick up “others” to marry and bear their children. SMH!! Beautiful woman!
awww!!!! this damn near moved me to tears!!!! I love her!!!
Always uplift these young people especially when they are staying out of trouble…when they start messing up you still encourage them…that’s our job…
Beautiful. A true nurturer. And both men are beautiful too. Damn!
That Nigerian man dominated TF outta Tyrone, ok!! If u watched the fight, u could see it in Tyrone’s face that he didn’t expect that type of strong back! Then when Usman body slammed him, rocked him lovely! The disorientation stayed written all over his face!!! Good fight! I’m actually here for Usman “The Nigerian Nightmare” (and these other 2 Africans) to dominate the UFC!
I was captivated……by the cakes in those photoes
“Ain’t nothing like a black mama.”
^^^^^^^^^
Shole aint. My black mama showed up yesterday but not for me. To make 14 yo feel better about being cut from the softball team. They went to the movies and to get ice cream.
It was a good fight…
*chuckles*
? I’ll always love my mama ? she’s my favorite girl ?
I’m like, “look at all this beefcake in this here photo” before I thought about the mamas, but yes, black mamas are everything.
Awe… how sweet! Precious moment!
Black mama….. ***PRICELESS***
? Tyron Woodley is married to a black woman.
I don’t know if Kamaru Usman is married, but his daughter is clearly black, so we know he had her with a black woman.
I’m not sure what I was looking at in the first photo. Not being critical I’m just not sure what I’m looking at.
I sing this song to my mama every year on Mother’s Day… Love that song!
Awww your mama so sweeet!!!???
Is this what you see happening here?
I just see a very positive image of community, respect and sportsmanship.
This is a proud to be black moment that is visible to a lot of ppl, as opposed to all the low life garbage that is constantly thrown to the forefront.
Usman was moved to tears as she said, “It’s your turn. It ain’t his turn. It’s your time. Be encouraged.

I was looking at Instagram and I saw Frankski and his newborn baby, but why does he look like the grandfather than the daddy? ???
You and me both!
???Sandra is soooooooo shady and legendary with her pictures. That pic looks like the man hugging his daughter is checking out the the other guy on the low. And of course the other guy is standing ever so ghey, hand on hip with the ultra skrong booty. Stop it! ????
Amen! I love my black mama!!
I want to “congratulate” her son, too. Those shorts he’s wearing, are singing my song!
What the hell else would a Good loving mother say, black or white?…..but black mothers are Strong asf and we have to encourage our sons more often than other races.
I love black mothers. Say what you want about them but they always keep it G.
Lmao
?
You just mad/jealous your mama didn’t come to see you.
And what song would that be? ??
Sounds just like my mama… I be cutting my eyes at her (behind her back) and those damn kids sometimes.
Half on a baby
I have no qualms with gay people but for those of us who don’t follow boxing it was hard to figure out what to make of the pic and I didn’t want to say too much and inadvertently offend someone.
Awww I wonder why the winner was crying. Does he not have his own momma??
got damn them men fine look at them leg and asses….i know that got big man meat
Back Dat Azz Up
I sure AM!
THIS
Nope, I doubt it…?
Cause that ninja is old. I lived in one of his properties in Atlantic Station. Even went to court and he sent his so called assistant to stand in…basically some little sad chick he was screwing. Being truthful the microwave and washer needed to be repaired and he came to fix them. I got sick in the hospital for a month in a half and rent wasn’t paid and I meant not for it to not be pay it. If there was a issue/eviction I had ev
everything thing planned to remove my shyt but he did NOT live up to his obligations as a property owner. Others were paying $800 to $1200…there were some paying $550 and I was paying $2200. Other tenants said that’s where he brings his women he wants that spot back. Even my mother’s friend said he’s a POS. While he was in Baltimore I think? But all he ever did was cheat, everybody knew it!
That lets you know how old he is “My mother’s friend” they’re in their late 60’s. But that Doo- Brown money long ran out.

This is the kind of parents athletes need. Some of the parents are cussing and trying to fight other fans and the officials. Then there are some that want participation trophies for everybody like they’re Oprah. You win some and lose some.
Beautiful
DNA test.
Hell this the kind of black woman they need to show period because there are a lot of good black people men and women with great spirits. Always showing us those demons it’s good to see a beautiful person.
I wish he would’ve hugged his “FATHER”.. we see this shit everyday?.
? ? All I want to do is zoom-a-zoom-zoom-zoom
And a poom-poom, just shake ya rump! ? ?
For reals!
Something very deep is going on with him. Poor guy. What she did for him was really special.
??…..He IS Fine now chile……
Why Miss Sandy caint use These guys for the Wood of the Day??
I think so too
You have got to be kidding me…I thought I was THE ONLY one that calls my mother this. Had one of those movie moments where the room swirls and then zooms in…uncanny
But with my moms tho…anybody can get it
Shake the dice and steal the rice!
https://youtu.be/5nYN6XG8CmY
Now… that’s a stellar idea!
LOL! Mayne, I was thinking just how quick we are to Fight somebody over our Mommas!
That”s the fastest way to catch a beat down in the Black community!
Good that you have her to cherish. My mother used to always guilt us with “you’re going to miss me when I’m gone”. She was right.
This site is not known for MMA so let me fill you all in on some things to add some context to this. Tyron Woodley (the loser) has been one of the ALL TIME GREAT Welterweight Champs in UFC History. He accomplished this in spite of deliberate opposition from the UFC itself. Because Woodley stood up for himself and did not allow the UFC to chew him up and spit him out, they did all they could to discredit him as Champion. Losing this fight has more significance than most because Woodley and Usman (the winner) knows that even though he has the most title defenses in that division, he will probably NEVER get another shot at the belt because Dana White hates him so much. Usman was classy throughout the fight and clearly felt terrible that by achieving his dream, he likely ended the career of a great champion that has been treated terribly. For Woodley and his Mother to show such class in the face of terrible circumstances was inspiring. Black men are under-represented in this sport and hopefully something like this will help bring more of them to a sport that desperately needs some Soul….
Yes, fine Tyron is morning wood.
Chiiile yew can have them meniz with big meat thermometers
lol i ‘ll take em
I see booty meat
Yasss Claire… say it again. Some good straight meat
That’s My Mama! Remember that show?
Moved to tears. I despise racism and how racism discredits black merit and legacies.Thank you so much for sharing this historic background. So, Mr. Woodly is a pioneer and I’m glad to know of his triumphant reign. Thank you.
His father should have shown up.
U wish it was that easy.
We said the same sentiment only differently.
??????. Don’t know what I’d do w/o mine either. We just got through fussing, she took my car to be serviced and they couldn’t find my key lock to tire. When she went under the seat she found a vodka bottle and beer cans, the service people saw it. Hell I wasn’t drinking and driving. I was suppose to throw it away, Mommy damn!!! Then she said I know you all are stressed from the fire. So come by and get dinner, I cooked. Never misses a beat even while cussing me out.
???
Damn, had to find a negative huh? Smh. Some women(Mothers) are stronger and better leaders then then the s p e r m donor..i mean the male who could not become a father by choices or circumstances..etc ? Believe it or not….many women can raise boys to Men!
You best believe it!!!
Now you got me cry just by explaining this.. Wow!! Thanks Sharing
ALLDAY
A man is “STRONG”.. that’s why 80% of prisoners are raised by single mothers.. raising boys into criminals..
But who’s Dana white?
He is the President of the UFC and the chief hater of Tyron Woodley
Good Mama, but son got cakes
Thanks for sharing this info. Can’t Usman give him a rematch like Muhammad Ali would do for the boxers he beat?
UFC fighters don’t have the freedom that boxers do. The UFC, and White, have a monopolistic rule over the fighters. Usman has to fight whoever Dana tells him to. He could offer Woodley a rematch but Dana has the ability to veto that. When Dana White hates you, as a UFC fighter, you are screwed
White won’t be around forever. William Morris Endeavor, the parent company, can always fire him if he’s unfair to the fighters.
Can I ask why he hates Tyron so much?
Dana has an iron clad contract. He made 10% of the $4 BILLION they paid to acquire the UFC. All they care about is paying down the debt they used to buy it. Fairness to the fighters is about 123099 down the list of action items.
Facts
you are a whole moron for your sentiments. Kinda sad actually smh
Dam right!
I know QUEEN. I’m sorry I couldn’t be more understanding.
Yelp! That “ WHAT CHA SAY ABOUT MY MAMA”..
Is real lol. A lot of people are missing teeth with the slick talk about mama
Damn, man cakes ?… (as I turn around to look for my cakes that ain’t baked at 48 years old ?)
Where is his dad?
What about daddies all this momma worship got us in the shape we in now can’t build and empire on emotions like what momma teach you need to be strategic and logical what daddy’s should teach
Not true as most black woman are single mothers with no fathers in sight!
If your gonna attempt to down black women, make sure you use the correct plural.
Awesome woman??????????
Some people have a PURE spirit and their touch and kind words can bring SO MUCH joy to others!
Shelby just wants to talk about how some Black men rather settle and have children with women that arent black instead of just focusing on the subject at hand?????
Damn…..thanks for the background info.
missing teeth…hard of hearing…blind in one eye…limp…
Dad has got to be more than ghost. He’s got to put the time in.
I’m really happy that I skipped all those other posts and clicked on this one first. What a way to start my day. Between this and video I watched of a black lady who was teased because of her teeth and two dentist stepped in and changed her appearance and her entire life. I’m happy this morning.
Yeah, I get that. I see people often coming here with their own issues they want to rant about, rather than what the current topic is.
Kinda weird to me.?
Well, you’re the residue of anal spooze that seeped out into your mother’s cavernous vag…and we’re not judging you…
…be humble, boy repellent and watch your words. ?
AWWWW! She seems very supportive and nurturing.
And they make it seem like they are pro Black talking all that jazz but they are REALLY pro Drama and Misery! Very sad???
From what I see most of these dads get ran off
Love this!
????
This is a pointless sentiment. These young men are outstanding athletes who compete at the top level of their game. Whether father was around or not doesn’t matter now, they are already who they were meant to be.
I guess
I use to watch these fights FAITHFULLY with my ex. These were our “date nights” out. It was (way) more his thing than mine. You couldn’t get me to even glance at one of these fights now. However, this is correct. Congrats to the each participant.
They Sprint off. No Black woman runs them anywhere.
These internet trolls need a good basic writing and grammer class. ?
That’s the popular lie that’s out here nowadays. Somebody took a handful of circumstances and presented it as the norm. I see it, as once again, men who do not want to take responsibility. Women have been the physical, emotional and spiritual glue for decades because of disinterested or absent men. The kids and grandkids see this for themselves and honor that woman – now menfolk crying and complaining.
Show up!
Lead!
Protect!
Provide!

Why am I crying! I felt that mama-love spirit through my computer.
Beautiful.
YESSS! #finishthem #tellthemoff
Word is bond!
Yes they start acting a fool because they feel they have the man by the ball once they have a kid.. its everything go thier way or they will put you on child support most black men will tell you this…
They need to leave black women alone and enjoy a tall glass of bleach.
IKR.
Motherfuckers STAY trying to diss black women WHILE IMITATING EVERYTHING ABOUT HER.
???
Wow… Just absolutely beautiful
They want to be her and they can’t. The Envy is clear and the jealously is real
it’s so cute..

this is so beautiful and touching! Being able to encourage everyone and not put nobody against each other is so beautiful to see! She did not have to do that! It shows her heart, She must’ve raised humble kids! God bless her heart!
