When UFC welterweight king Tyron Woodley looks over the jam-packed list of welterweight contenders, there’s one fighter on the list who has truly won his respect. That fighter is rising knockout artist “Platinum” Mike Perry<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe only guy that I respect who talks stuff about me is\u00a0Mike Perry,\u201d\u00a0Woodley\u00a0said\u00a0on the\u00a0Fight Strength Podcast<\/a>\u00a0this week (via MMAUno.com<\/a>). \u201cMike Perry pulled up on me, to my face and not only did he pull up on me, he came to a seminar that I was teaching and he took the seminar. He took the seminar, learned some stuff and he said, \u2018Hey man, I\u2019m coming for your belt man.\u2019<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cThose are the guys that I love facing across the Octagon, the ones that have some respect for martial arts. If you can pull up to me and tell me to my face that you\u2019re coming for my belt, now I got you, now you got my respect. Those are the guys that I want to see come to the top.”<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s been respectful with [his talk about me],\u201d\u00a0Woodley\u00a0said. \u201cI\u2019m a straight guy to, so I\u2019m like hey, if I look at the division, he\u2019s probably the guy I respect the most in the division. He might not have the greatest ground and he may just be getting to the point where he\u2019s refining his technique and his aggression and he\u2019s being a little smarter with it.”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"Mike<\/p>\n

While Woodley has respect for Mike Perry, that respect does not extend to Colby Covington<\/a>, who has been talking ceaseless trash<\/a>\u00a0over recent months.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t even know who that guy is,\u201d\u00a0Woodley joked. \u201cI only focus on guys that are in contention and world class athletes. When I\u2019m looking down my scope to snipe somebody I don\u2019t see Colby Covington in the mix.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

How do you think a fight between Tyron Woodley and Mike Perry would unfold? How about a fight between Woodley and Colby Covington?<\/p>\n
