#4 Rumor: Tyron Woodley vs. Nate Diaz
In a recent interview with ESPN’s Brett Okamoto, reigning UFC Welterweight Champion Tyron Woodley asserted that he’d bet his house that Nate Diaz is his next opponent.
Woodley stated—
“I think that fight (with Nate Diaz) will happen, (and) I think it will happen this year, (and) I think it’s way more likely than people realize…There are conversations about Nate and I fighting in July. The UFC has offered Nate that fight, (but) they just have to make it worth his while—I think I’ll fight Nate this year, and I think it will be my return to the Octagon—if I had to bet the house on it, that’s my next opponent.”
Furthermore, Woodley insinuated that he’d be alright either way—be it facing Nate in a Catchweight bout or defending his 170-pound title against Stockton’s younger son. This fight would bring huge money to both parties, given Nate’s superstar status and the X-factor of seeing him move up to face the best 170-pounder in the world—Tyron Woodley.
