Tyron Woodley said Monday that he hasn’t yet been contacted by the UFC about defending his welterweight title against Demian Maia, but if Maia is indeed next — as UFC president Dana White alluded to after UFC 211 — Woodley is open to the match-up.
“I’m not against fighting Demian Maia,” Woodley said on The MMA Hour. “I think, out of all the guys in the top-10 that are really threatening guys who are frightening in the Octagon — whether it’s submissions or knockouts or just their ability to be tough — I match up the best with him.
