Tyron Woodley News

By moving to the UFC, Ben Askren has opened the door to dozens of exciting new matchups, and he’s already started laying the foundation for some of those new fights. There is one matchup, however, that seems to be off the table: one with reigning UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley. Ben Askren and Tyron Woodley, to remind, are frequent training partners at Roufusport in Milwaukee. The relationship they’ve developed inside the Milwaukee gym is strong enough that Askren assures he’ll simply never fight the reigning champion.

UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley did not take well to the recent comments from Joe Rogan regarding his friend and teammate CM Punk. The UFC commentator recently spoke about the former professional wrestler turned mixed martial arts competitor during his Joe Rogan Experience podcast.

UFC welterweight champ Tyron Woodley believes his friend and teammate Ben Askren would easily defeat the likes of Khabib Nurmagomedov and Georges St-Pierre. The current UFC welterweight champion, Woodley, has known the former ONE Championship and Bellator welterweight title holder, Askren, for a long time. The pair originally wrestled together at University of Missouri, this before once again linking up to train under legendary striking coach Duke Roufus in Milwaukee.

One of the options for the main event of the upcoming UFC 230 card was a welterweight title fight between champion Tyron Woodley and interim champion Colby Covington. With Covington healthy, and Woodley riding a huge win over Darren Till, the fight seemed to make a lot of sense. Furthermore, Woodley said he was open to fighting Covington at UFC 230, so long as he was given a clean bill of health. Unfortunately, he was then forced to go under the knife to repair an injured hand, ruling out this possibility. Well, Colby Covington isn’t buying it.

Tyron Woodley will be watching from afar with a vested interest in less than two weeks when Conor McGregor makes his long-awaited return to the Octagon for a lightweight championship fight against Khabib Nurmagomedov at UFC 229. It’s not about the cheap thrills, booze guzzling and quote-worthy commentary that typically precedes the McGregor Show—a lavish fight spectacle that has never failed to live up to the hype.

In addition to being one of the world’s top fighters, UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley is also a fantastic analyst. Speaking on The Hollywood Beatdown on TMZ earlier this week, the welterweight champ donned his analyst’s hat an made a prediction for the UFC 229 main event, which will pit UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov against former UFC lightweight and featherweight champion Conor McGregor.

UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley, who has now defended the UFC welterweight title with consecutive defeats of Stephen Thompson (twice), Demian Maia, and Darren Till, is adamant that he is the greatest welterweight in the history of MMA. Many fans and pundits, however, beg to differ, maintaining that the former champion Georges St-Pierre is still the sport’s greatest welterweight. In the opinion of Tyron Woodley’s coach Din Thomas, Georges St-Pierre probably is still the greatest welterweight in the sport’s history, but Woodley could easily change that with a couple more wins — two wins over specific opponents, as a matter of fact.

Remember when we said that options were getting more and more limited for UFC 230’s headliner? Well, they just got even thinner. One of the potential options for said Madison Square Garden headliner on November 3 was the heated welterweight matchup between the champion Tyron Woodley and the former interim champion, Colby “Chaos” Covington.

In the past, UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley has attempted to set up lucrative showdowns with UFC stars like Conor McGregor, Georges St-Pierre, Michael Bisping, and Nick and Nate Diaz. Unfortunately for Woodley, none of these stars have taken the bait, and he thinks he knows why. In terms of fighters such as St-Pierre, Tyron Woodley thinks he is simply too risky of an opponent.

Tom Taylor - September 19, 2018

Ever since UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley defended his title with a second-round submission Darren Till on September 8, former interim champion Colby Covington has been calling him out for a title fight at UFC 230 on November 3. Apparently, Tyron Woodley is happy to accept Colby Covington’s challenge, so long as doctors give him the all-clear first.

After two very smartly fought title defending performances, a necessary shoulder surgery led to the brief break of about a year for the UFC’s welterweight champion. Once he returned, it was time to remind all the doubters how skilled that he truly is. And he did just that. Of course, the champion in reference is “The Chosen One” Tyron Woodley. Despite those two title defenses that followed his draw with Stephen “Wonderboy” Thompson in their first encounter, fans and pundits alike still didn’t seem all too sold on the reigning champion. It just further showed going into his recent defense against Darren Till as Woodley was once again the betting underdog.

It was the British challenger’s first professional loss.

On Saturday night, in the main event of UFC 228, Liverpool’s Darren Till stepped into the Octagon with UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley, keen to take the welterweight belt for himself. Unfortunately for Till and his legions of fans, this fight did not go the way he planned. Instead, he was dropped and submitted by the champion in the bout’s second round. Having failed to capture the UFC welterweight title — and experienced the first defeat of his professional MMA career — it’s now back to the drawing board for Darren Till. While this loss is bound to be a tough pill to swallow, however, he seems to be in reasonably good spirits, all things considered.
