In case you didn’t know…
Having won the UFC Welterweight Championship in 2016 by beating Robbie Lawler, Tyron Woodley has defended his strap four times in total within the past two years.
His last successful defence came three months ago against Liverpool upstart Darren Till and his title defenses against the likes of Demian Maia and Stephen Thompson have already cemented Woodley as one of the greatest Welterweights of all time.
The heart of the matter
In a recent interview with TSN, UFC President Dana White stated that the already stacked UFC Welterweight Division is seemingly ready to move on without Champion Tyron Woodley.
However, Woodley, who recently appeared on The Ariel Helwani Show, addressed White’s recent comments and claimed that he has seemingly agreed to fight on the 26th of January in Anaheim and is willing to defend his belt against former Interim Champion, Colby Covington. (H/T: MMA Fighting)
What’s next?
As of right now, the UFC is in a need of a main event for UFC 233 and having Tyron Woodley defend his title early next year is definitely a possibility. However, nothing has been officially confirmed by the UFC right now.
