UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley is ready for his next title defense and he’s just waiting on top ranked contender Demian Maia to accept.
Rumors surfaced on Wednesday that Woodley was going to meet teammate Jorge Masvidal later this year, but he quickly shot down that fight on the latest episode of “UFC Tonight” while confirming that Maia will be his next opponent.
Woodley says that he wants the fight at UFC 214 on July 29 and now he’s just waiting on Maia’s response.
“If you want a showdown with me, you have to meet me July 29, that’s the date,” Woodley said.
