Last month, in the main event of UFC on Fox 26, former UFC lightweight champion Rafael dos Anjos picked up one of the best wins<\/a> of his already impressive career, defeating Robbie Lawler by unanimous decision<\/a>. In the eyes of many fans, this win was enough to earn dos Anjos a fight with UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley. Woodley himself, however, doesn’t share this opinion.<\/p>\n

\u201cWas it a good performance?\u201d Woodley recently told MMAFighting<\/a>. \u201cIf I had Robbie Lawler against the Octagon like [dos Anjos did], would he have been alive or would he have been knocked the f*ck out? He\u2019d have been knocked out.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you got Robbie against the Octagon and he\u2019s throwing punches in bunches and he\u2019s swinging, hitting elbows and hitting with MMA gloves, yeah he threw 100 punches, but how many actually landed? How many did significant damage? If I get Robbie against the cage, it\u2019s gonna take a couple and he\u2019s gonna go down. Put Stephen [Thompson] against the cage, it took a couple and he went down.\u00a0<\/span>Nate Marquardt. Anybody, in win or defeat, if I see the chin and I hit it, they go down.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

While Woodley respects dos Anjos, his priority at this point is sniffing out a bigger fight with a bigger name.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m looking forward to fighting people who their brands are larger than mine. I\u2019m not looking to bring somebody up,\u201d Woodley said. \u201cI\u2019m in a position where I did that already. I\u2019ve already sought out to fight the guy with a brand, so that I could project myself and bring myself up. I\u2019m just not interested in promoting other people, man. I worked so hard to self-promote myself. I don\u2019t have no agent. I\u2019m out there in these streets and I\u2019m hustling. Until someone can show me they\u2019re doing the same thing or truly deserve the No. 1 contender, I\u2019m good.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cI wasn\u2019t really impressed,\u201d he said of dos Anjos’ win over Lawler. \u201cI wasn\u2019t impressed.\u201d<\/p>\n

Who do you think Tyron Woodley should fight next?<\/p>\n
