Last week, Tyron Woodley’s coach (and former UFC veteran) Din Thomas told Luke Thomas on The MMA Hour that he thinks ‘T-Wood’ will be considered the greatest welterweight of all-time with a couple more title defenses under his belt.
That title currently belongs to former two-division champion Georges St-Pierre, who defended his belt nine times against the creme de la creme of the welterweight division.
Speaking to Nicole Bosco of FanSided in a recent interview, ‘Rush’ — as humble as ever — didn’t get defensive about coach Thomas’ claim but pointed out that there are other fighters (such as former 170-pound champ Matt Hughes) in the running for that prized top spot in the welterweight rankings.
