UFC welterweight champ Tyron Woodley: 'Don't ask me about GSP'

Plenty of fans and fighters have had their say on the UFC's bizarre middleweight championship matchup between Michael Bisping and Georges St-Pierre, but welterweight champ Tyron Woodley is remaining tight-lipped.

That's because Woodley, 34, knows how easy it is to get distracted and start thinking about other potential opponents on the eve of his championship rematch against Stephen Thompson at UFC 209.

'The Chosen One' says he lost his focus against Rory MacDonald — a fight he lost via unanimous decision at UFC 174 — because he was thinking about fighting the winner of the 2014 number one contender's bout between Robbie Lawler and Matt Brown.
