Tyron Woodley reveals which fighter would “definitley” give him his “hardest fight”<\/strong><\/p>\n

Current UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley has faced a ton of tough challenges during his storied mixed martial arts career.<\/p>\n

For instance, “The Chosen One” was last seen in action at August’s UFC 214 event where he scored a lopsided decision victory over feared submission specialist Demian Maia<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Prior to his win over Maia, Woodley was able to outpoint arguably the greatest strike in mixed martial arts today Stephen Thompson in the main event of UFC 209<\/a>.<\/p>\n

After scoring victories over both “the best striker” and “best submission practitioner” in the UFC’s stacked welterweight division, “T-Wood” was asked during a recent Instagram live stream who would now be his toughest opponent.<\/p>\n

Woodley responded by name dropping an undefeated lightweight fighter from Russia… Can you guess who?<\/p>\n

\u201cIf I had fought Khabib (Nurmagomedov), he would definitely be my hardest fight,\u201d<\/em> Woodley said (via BloodyElbow<\/a>). \u201cHe has a relentless amount of pressure, crazy ground and pound, heavy hands, good chin and is very very persistent.\u201d<\/p>\n

While Tyron Woodley has no problem acknowledging that “The Eagle” would probably present his toughest challenge fighting in the UFC, he obviously still believes he could beat him.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think I can beat anybody though, but if I had to compete against him, Khabib would probably be my toughest fight in the UFC.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

The undefeated Russianm Nurmagomedov, will square off with Tony Ferguson for the UFC lightweight title in the headliner of next weekend’s UFC 223 pay-per-view event in Brooklyn.<\/p>\n

Khabib Nurmagomedov has gone a perfect 25-0 in his mixed martial arts career, his latest victory coming over Edson Barboza at December\u2019s UFC 219 event in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n

Prior to defeating Barboza in Sin City, \u201cThe Eagle\u201d absolutely mauled Michael Johnson at UFC 205 in New York.<\/p>\n

Who do you think would win in a super fight between Khabib Nurmagomedov and Tyron Woodley? Sound off PENN Nation!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
