LOS ANGELES – After a win over Kelvin Gastelum at UFC 183, Tyron Woodley , who won the UFC welterweight title in his next bout, announced to the world that he didn’t want to pile on. Empathetic toward Gastelum, who missed weight and then lost a split decision to Woodley (18-3-1 MMA, 8-2-1 UFC), “T-Wood” then said he would send back the $9,000 he pocketed when Gastelum was fined 30 percent of his purse . As it turned out, Woodley followed through on his promise. Only Gastelum didn’t want the money. The idea of getting reimbursed for a mistake only made him feel worse about it. “(Woodley) contacted me and told me, ‘Hey, where can I send this check?’ And I told him, ‘Man, please don’t send that check,’” Gastelum said at a media luncheon in support of his meeting with Rondaldo Souza (25-5 MMA, 8-2 UFC) next week at UFC 224.
