Former UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley<\/a> is aiming to fight twice more in 2020 following his loss to Gilbert Burns last month.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Woodley, who lost the Welterweight Championship to Kamaru Usman back in March 2019, was decisively beaten by Burns in a unanimous decision blow-out at the UFC APEX last month. Ever since then, many fans have been wondering whether or not the 38-year-old veteran would retire from the sport.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

As the man himself noted during a recent Instagram Live session<\/a>, retirement is far from his mind as we look ahead to the rest of the year.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\u201cI want to fight two more times this year,\u201d Woodley said on Monday (via MMA Junkie<\/a>). \u201cSo we are right now in June. I fee like if I can get one on the books sometime in the near future then it still leaves me with November or December to fight again. I want to fight two more times this year. I want to just really knock out some fights. I\u2019m excited about it. I\u2019m ready to get back in there and get after it.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

While Woodley had seemingly been focusing a lot of his attention on his blossoming career in the music & entertainment business, the defeat to Burns appears to have motivated him in a big way.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

“The Chosen One” wasn’t shy in owning up to what went wrong shortly after the main event had concluded on May 30.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\u201cWhat\u2019s up people. Like I said, you just can\u2019t get on the camera when you win, you have to get on the camera when you lose too and umm I felt good. I don\u2019t have no excuses,\u201d Woodley explained. \u201cI felt good and I trained hard. I was in great shape. I felt like I did everything right. Everything felt good from the walkout to the stretch and every single thing about the fight. I looked (Gilbert Burns) in the eyes yesterday and I knew he was going to be ready to fight. I thought that was good. He did a good job of you know keeping the distance and not coming into shots. And I just felt like I was reaching so I don\u2019t have any excuses. I will hold my head high. A lot of mother f*ckers would have let somebody finish them off in that moment but I didn\u2019t give up. I was just thinking about everything going on right now and all those people protesting and\u00a0fighting for something good. So I was like \u2018I just can\u2019t give up in here\u2019 and I never really gave up.\u201d<\/p>\r\n
