Tyrone Woodley se poslednji put borio krajem leta 2017 godine kada je pobedio Demiana Maia-u odlukom sudija nakon pet rundi, nakon te borbe nismo imali prilike da gledamo Woodleya u akciji zbog povreda. Nakon jučerašnjeg UFC-a u St-Lousiu je Dana White izjavio da će Woodleyaova sledeća borba biti protiv Rafel dos Anjosa samo da se opravi od svih povreda.

Izjava Whitea:




As soon as he’s healthy, obviously, RDA is the fight to make, especially the way he looked in the Robbie Lawler fight. We’re just waiting for Tyron to get healthy.

Međutim Woodley je izjavio za MMA Junkie da bi se trebao boriti sa Georgesom St-Pierrom:

I don’t really see a fight that makes sense for me right now. There’s not any clear No. 1 guys. Some guys say RDA. We’ve got a guy who’s bumping his gums; I won’t even give (Covington’s) name any attention. I think the deck needs to be shuffled a little bit more, and maybe a fight that’s more substantial for my career and my legacy will present itself. I’m not going to say (dos Anjos and Covington) need to fight. Fall back, take a seat. I’m not going anywhere. I’m here for a while. I’m not on the cusp of giving this up. One by one, everybody will get their chance to see what it’s all about. But I really want to fight Georges St-Pierre. If he’s still fighting, he needs to come and see me.

Ko će da mu bude sledeći protivnik će biti zanimljivo da vidimo.
