Tyron Lakent Woodley, or more commonly known as Tyron Woodley, is an MMA fighter who has shined in the highest level of this sport, the UFC. Through the organization, he has obtained the welterweight champion title 5 times. He achieved these titles by defeating Stephen Wonderboy Thompson, Darren Till, Robbie Lawler, and Demian Maia.
However, his career as the welterweight champion, which earned him the nickname The Chosen One, had to come to an end when he faced the Nigerian Nightmare Kamaru Usman. In UFC 235, he lost through a unanimous decision against the challenger. After losing the welterweight throne, he suffered consecutive defeats against Gilbert Burns and Colby Covington. This caused a decline in his performance, which was not as good as before when he was still the king of the welterweight division.
He then lost again via Brabo Choke against Vicente Luque at UFC 260. After that, he ventured into the world of boxing by facing the sensational boxer Jake Paul. In their first fight, the result was fiercely contested but still won by Jake Paul. In their second fight, Jake won by KO in the sixth round. Here are 7 pictures of the former welterweight king in the UFC!
