Raised in Ferguson, Missouri, Tyron Woodley is a former UFC welterweight champion. He won the world championship by defeating former champ Robbie Lawler in 2016. “The Chosen One” went on to have four successful title defenses before losing the belt to Kamaru Usman at UFC 235 in March 2019.
Since then he went on to lose three out of his three fights. He fought out his eight-fight UFC contract with a first-round submission loss to Vicente Luque at UFC 260. Following the loss, Woodley released the following statement on Instagram -
"Sh*t was going really well until it wasn’t. My camp pushed me in ways I haven’t been pushed in a while. I committed, and swore to myself I would bring the tiger out that earned me gold. I saw the opportunity for the KO and got too excited. Paid a big cost."
"I don’t regret my aggression as that’s what God created me to do. [Luque] is a tough and humble fighter. Was an honour to share the cage with you tonight."
While his time in UFC is over, it is fair to assume the situation is similar when it comes to his MMA career. The 39-year-old has recently made headlines as he is rumored for a boxing bout against Jake Paul. Mike Coppinger of the Athletic broke the news on Twitter by saying Paul has signed a contract with Showtime, who will promote the fight. -
"Sources: Jake Paul and former UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley have agreed to a deal for a boxing match. Jake recently signed a multi-fight deal with Showtime. Friday face-off in Miami planned to promote the event. Paul coming off first-round KO of Ben Askren" - said Coppinger in a tweet.
