Woodley as an Underdog

The last time we seen Tyron Woodley this big of an underdog was when he fought Robbie Lawler. Causing a major upset and winning the welterweight title, back in 2016.

Now at 38 years of age, Woodley has slowed down in this past two fights. In a dominant performance by Kamaru Usman, where he captured Woodley’s belt. To most recently when Gilbert Burns outclassed a sluggish looking Woodley.

Knowing the checkered past between Woodley and Covington, this might give “The Chosen One” more fuel for the fire.

If all goes Covington’s way against Woodley, expect the outspoken star to call out the champ Usman, once again. Out of all of Usman’s fights, it was Covington who gave him the biggest challange.
