The life of a professional fighter isn't all glitz and glamour.
As if getting punched, kicked, kneed, choked and twisted into a pretzel on a regular basis isn't enough, fighters attract a general wackiness that makes their lives, well...interesting.
To commemorate these day-to-day hardships, slip-ups, pranks, and more, we bring you, "The Weekly Grind."
Let me talk to my haters. Blame my greatness on things you simply will never understand. Hard work. Passion. Suck one

It is not befitting of a world champion to whine so much. A champion is someone that represents courage and strength. An ability to endure difficult circumstances and push on. How is it not obvious that this characteristic negatively affects marketability?

I pray this comment isn’t for me. Because it’s so bizarre when non champions say what a champion should represent. Especially with little to zero knowledge of circumstance. But I know it’s not about me, being the respect we have for one another...... https://t.co/F56jwF2ZFV

Go back and read some of the comments from your own fans, replying to your tweet! I respect you as an athlete and a champion, but many UFC fans aren't Woodley fans, and as a champion it's worth listening to them and figuring out why. https://t.co/iqFYIcszC7

Go back and check my resume, and what I’ve done in a short period of time. See how I captured this title. I respect you, and As a fan it’s worth going back and reading. https://t.co/2gz58Nn4AF

Yes, it's very impressive, and you are absolutely deserving of that belt. The issue now is that you don't feel like you are being promoted properly, but if people don't want to watch you fight, why would they spend the to promote you? https://t.co/sfOyLJqrTJ

Nice timing Alexander(kick him while he’s down huh). I got a better idea tho he doesn’t fight you next. He fights Robert Whitaker, I mean sometimes that happens right. You lose your way into a title shot! #thegustafsonway

Chuck saying he's "ready" to fight me is like me saying I'm "ready" to drive that Tesla that Musk just landed on Mars

He's the only one who thinks he's ready
