With Conor McGregor in talks to fight Floyd Mayweather, Ronda Rousey’s future unknown, and Jon Jones still serving a suspension, the UFC is lacking star power. But Tyron Woodley, one month removed from his second UFC welterweight title defense, thinks he could be the next big thing.
The UFC welterweight champion, who defeated Stephen Thompson in the UFC 209 main event in March, expects to be one of the UFC’s biggest stars sooner than later.
“You know the UFC doesn’t have that many stars. They have a lot of great fighters, but as far as actual stars, there is not very many of them in the UFC,” Woodley told BJPenn.
