Woodley will have 3 title defenses in a year

[Platinum Bless]

UFC 205 - Nov 2016
UFC 209 - March 2017
Ufc 214 (waiting for confirm) - July 29


You can hate him but at least he is an active champ

July 29 is likely not happening at this point. I'd look for Mid August - Early September at this point. Still 3 within a year though. Unless he waits for UFC 218 which they are going to stack due to is being at MSG.

 

[gotBooched]

He's a model champ IMO

We considering that sparring match against Wonderboy at 209 a fight? Because active is not the word I would use to describe it.

 

[Arm Barbarian]

Yep, in the era of ducking and sitting on belts, at least T-Wood is staying active.

 

[BigMuffler]

Woodley is a man's man and champ's champ with a background in the most beloved martial art.

 

[TjDillashawCombo]

Best champion in recent years

 

[Kaiokenrye24]

I dislike him, but he's been a great fighter and champ

 

[cheat toes]

he's fighting who they give him.. bleed on!

 

[CasterMard]

Huge if true.

People would be a lot more aware if the wonderboy fights didn't suck, I'm not blaming him tho he did what he had to do to keep the belt. I hope he returns to form and ko's Maia (no offense I like him too just wanna see some fireworks)

 

[randomalias]

Well shit, I have to like him now. Active champ is a good champ.

 

[Defeat Unknown]

Gotta respect the champs that stay active and fight the #1 contenders.

That talk about not wanting to fight Wonderboy did him a lot of harm. What he says in between fights isn't the best maneuvering for himself.

I think if he beats Maia, then start calling out Diaz and GSP.

He's doing his job, great.

 

[Deleted member 510653]

His draw vs. Thompson wasn't a defense he retained

 

[Goodfella86]

I couldn't ask for more. 3 in a year is acceptable. I just hope Maia is ready to go soon.

 

[Failwani]

Woodley takes on all-comers. Just line em up and fax him the contracts.

Yeah he basically pretended to duck Wonderboy and then ended up taking the fights anyway. Weird way to promote yourself.

 

[Danespina]

Very good. That would actually be 3 defences in 8 months, however I don't think UFC will want him on 214 since it's already got Jones and Cyborg.

If DJ fights August it'll be 3 defences in 8-9 months too.

 

[Silverstar17]

He fights the contenders. That's all we can ask for. 2-3 fights as champ is good.

It's sad that he stands out with it though. Only Stipe and DJ have been doing the same.
