Tyron Woodley: Khabib Nurmagomedov, Conor McGregor ‘looked like old men at the nursing home fighting’

LOS ANGELES — To paraphrase Georges St-Pierre, when Tyron Woodley watched the main event of UFC 229, he was not impressed by the performance.

Of either competitor.

The UFC welterweight champion worked the FOX desk on that infamous October night in Las Vegas, and he did not walk away from UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov’s fourth-round submission victory over former titleholder Conor McGregor impressed by the way either competitor fought.

“It wasn’t that great a fight,” said Woodley, who was in town Monday promoting his Saturday night title defense against Kamaru Usman in Las Vegas.
