My goal is always beating and dominating who\u2019s in front of me. I\u2019ll let you guys decide who that is, because any time I\u2019ve ever taken to speaking about how I want to fight, it\u2019s never taken the right way. My goal and the way I am going to become the greatest of all-time, is dominating, and annihilating whoever is in front of me, whoever that is.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While Tyron Woodley is no longer focused on chasing money fights, he is interested in potentially exploring other weight classes \u2014 particularly if the UFC scraps its 170-pound welterweight division and introduces a 165-pound and 175-pound division between its 155-pound and 185-pound divisions.<\/p>\n<p id=\"KqOU1P\">\u201cI heard they were thinking about that,\u201d Woodley said. \u201cI don\u2019t know which one I would do. I mean, I could make 165, it wouldn\u2019t be very sexy, but I could make it. And obviously 175 would be a little easier to make than 170. I make 175 and I could make 185, too. Those are three different weight classes that I could fight in and be extremely competitive in all of them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"0MysKZ\">\u201cI would love to fight in a different division, you know?\u201d he added. \u201cI walk around at 200 pounds, only having to drop 15 pounds wouldn\u2019t be a bad look for me at all.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Tyron Woodley next fights this Saturday, when he will attempt to defend the UFC welterweight title against Darren Till in the main event of UFC 228.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><i>This article first appeared on\u00a0<\/i><a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/\"><span class=\"s1\"><i>BJPENN.COM<\/i><\/span><\/a><i>\u00a0on 9\/3\/2018.<\/i><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"c-promo-breaker\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Over the last year or so, UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley has attempted to set up fights with major MMA stars, calling out Georges St-Pierre, Nate Diaz, and Michael Bisping.
