Former UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley has found himself at the center of a cryptocurrency controversy, as social media allegations of a scam involving his TWOOD token have surfaced. Popular commentator Ben Davis accused Woodley of creating a scam and immediately “rug-pulling” his customers, a term used in the crypto world to describe a sudden exit by developers after collecting investor funds.
Woodley, however, has strongly denied these allegations. In response to Davis’ post, the former champion stated, “What was yall saying? I never removed in coin. Check it now. Apologies accepted by buying the meme coin.” He further assured his followers that he did not sell a single coin, directing them to verify this information on the blockchain: “Didn’t sell one coin. Look at the chain. Sniper gang got active.”
The price of TWOOD has experienced fluctuations since the controversy erupted, with some reports indicating a significant increase in recent days. While the exact details of the allegations remain unclear, Woodley’s response has provided some clarity regarding his involvement in the crypto project.
Despite Woodley’s denials and attempts to clarify the situation, many fans remain skeptical and have expressed their disappointment on social media. Several fans have criticized Woodley for his involvement in the crypto project, citing his recent career setbacks. One user commented, “Former UFC Welterweight World Champion. Few years later: Got knocked out by Jake Paul, got leaked [inappropriate content], and did a crypto scam on his fans. This falloff needs to be studied.”
Others have expressed disbelief that people would fall for such schemes, suggesting that investors should take responsibility for their own financial decisions. One user stated, “I genuinely feel like if people fall for this they deserve to get scammed at this point.” Another echoed this sentiment, saying, “Anyone that buys these deserves to be scammed tbf.”
