Tyron Woodley before UFC 260: ‘Quitting is not an option – I’ve got to go out on top’

Facing a three-fight skid, a potential pink slip and a heavy-handed welterweight slugger in Vicente Luque, Tyron Woodley is thinking about one thing only – performance – before UFC 260.

The former welterweight champ has looked listless, out of step, and repeatedly frozen in a trio of outings, all of which ended in lopsided losses. All of them, he said, were a product of a mind focused on the wrong things before a fight.

Woodley said his career can’t end this way. He vows to turn things around.

“Life is not always a straight path,” he told reporters at the media day for UFC 260.
