“And Still!”<\/p>\n

Tyron Woodley retained his UFC welterweight championship this past Saturday night at UFC 205 in New York after fighting Stephen Thompson to a majority draw in the evenings co-main event.<\/p>\n

“The Chosen One”, who earned the decision nod from one of the three judges in attendance at UFC 205 (48-47), spoke to BJPENN.com’s Chris Taylor<\/a> on Wednesday’s episode of ‘Rapid Fire’.<\/p>\n

During the interview, ‘T-Wood’\u00a0compared his fourth-round knockdown of Stephen Thompson to that of Conor McGregor’s fight ending knockdown versus Eddie Alvarez.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe way Conor finished Eddie, from the clip I saw. He didn\u2019t even have to hit him any more times. That was no different from the way my guy dropped. You know what I mean. He (Eddie) was no more drastically knocked down than Thompson was. A lot of people I talked to think the fight should have been stopped. So we will see. After being hit like that, the next time it may be easier to knock him out.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

When asked if he felt\u00a0any added satisfaction from\u00a0knocking\u00a0down\u00a0Thompson in the fourth-round when a lot of\u00a0his skeptics claimed\u00a0that he would\u00a0not\u00a0be ‘dangerous’ in the later rounds. Woodley responded with the following.<\/p>\n

\u201cI loved it. That was one of my favorite parts of the fight. It is like ok now everbody can shut up with that.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

As of this moment, Woodley is not sure who he be defending his title against next.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cI am willing to entertain any fight but I\u2019m not willing to commit to any fight at this point. I just want to weigh my options and see what is the best choice for myself.\u00a0 I\u2019m not going to take a fight that will benefit someone else, I am here to take fights that will benefit me. So with that said, I will look at any fight that is available to me and then my management team will play the bad guys and make the best choice for me.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Who would you like to see “The Chosen One” square off with next? Sound off PENN Nation!<\/p>\n
