Tyron Woodley isn’t exactly known for his frenetic pace and cardio, but the reigning UFC welterweight champion does have ferocious one-punch knockout power and the best takedown defense in the UFC.
That’s why Woodley, who is anticipated to fight Colby Covington in a title unification bout, believes he matches up very well with the newly-crowned interim champ.
Covington, who outworked and overwhelmed former lightweight kingpin Rafael dos Anjos earlier this month at UFC 225, is a relentless pressure fighter with arguably the best cardio in the sport.
But Woodley, a former training partner of Covington, says ‘Chaos’s’ pressure is going to make it all easier to set up the KO on fight night.
