Tyron Woodley’s coach thinks Woodley enters welterweight GOAT conversation with defenses over Covington, Usman

Tyron Woodley is quickly moving up the ranks of the greatest welterweights to ever compete. The reigning UFC welterweight champion, Woodley routed previously unbeaten contender Darren Till earlier this month in Dallas, barely suffering a scratch en route to an impressive second-round submission victory at UFC 228. The win renewed debate about where Woodley sits on the all-time ranks of 170-pound greats.

Woodley, 36, has long spoken of wanting to go down as the greatest welterweight of all-time by the time he is done with MMA. That title is currently held by Georges St-Pierre, but Woodley seemingly entered the top-three discussion with his flawless victory over Till.
