Deborah Woodley and Sylvester Woodley are the parents of Tyron Woodley.

Deborah Woodley and Sylvester Woodley had 13 children and Tyron Woodley was the 11th child.

Deborah Woodley single-handedly raised the children when her husband Sylvester left the family.

She reportedly worked as a nanny and also took cleaning jobs at restaurants to raise money to take care of her children.

Deborah Woodley in an interview with UFC on her children’s upbringing said; “I was a loving mom but I was tough. I had to be tough because I knew if I pamper them, all of them, if I pampered them and went along with all of that, they would use that as an excuse and I wasn’t having it”.

“I didn’t want my son in trouble. I wanted to make sure that he had a good reputation and that his citizenship at school would be outstanding so that he can get a scholarship. I didn’t want him in the streets,” Deborah Woodley added.
