Its been nine months ever since Tyron Woodley stepped inside the Octagon. He was last seen in action back at UFC 235, where he was defeated by Kamaru Usman over five rounds unanimously.
He was scheduled to fight in April against Robbie Lawler, but the fight fell through after Woodley got injured and had to pull out. But now, the Chosen One is all ready to get back into the cage. However, all of his rivals are booked and the only one left out is Leon Edwards, who is riding on an eight-fight winning streak.
He is ready to fight Edwards but revealed that fans won’t be interested in it.
“The (expletive) up part is my son was like, ‘Who is that?,’” Woodley said on Ariel Helwani’s MMA Show (via MMA Junkie).
“My kids know everybody. They play the video game, so when you got to explain to somebody who the person is and how good they really are, I have to pump up to the fact, to the people, and to the peers on how dope Leon is, because he is dope,” Woodley continued.
“He got super crazy strategic striking, super sharp, great cardio. He has good IQ, switched things around in the (Rafael dos Anjos fight), in the middle of the fight, so he’s dope as (expletive) as a fighter, but I’m going to have to sell the fact on how dope he is.”
