Tyron Woodley is not being cut from the UFC, despite what appeared to be a cryptic Snapchat teasing his release.
Woodley appeared to publish a cryptic tweet with nothing but the word "cut." This sparked talk of his potential release from the UFC; however, both Woodley and his manager Malki Kawa rejected the scenario.
