Coach Din Thomas Believes Tyron Woodley Is Close to Eclipsing GSP's Legacy At Welterweight

Tyron Woodley’s latest title defense against Darren Till at UFC 228 earlier this month has drawn comparisons to some of the best welterweights ever to compete in the Ultimate Fighting Championship, including Matt Hughes and Georges St. Pierre.

Woodley’s head coach -- who is also his grappling coach and awarded the welterweight champion with his black belt after the fight -- was a recent guest on The MMA Hour. He spoke about how his fighter, who now has four title defenses and has defeated some of the best the division has to offer, is edging ever closer to becoming the best welterweight of all-time.
