Yeah Woodley was sooo washed even though he was the champ a year prior. He just was never that good, he started losing once he faced the elite and wrestlers with pressure, he beat Maia and WB 2 and only through a few strikes the entire fight while running around doing nothing. Colby had already had a planned surgery after the RDA fight and the ufc tried to rush and book the title fight super fast.We seen what happened when Colby fought out out of prime washed up Woodley who got battered by Burns and Usman.
Colby didn't get hurt against RDA - he opted for nasal surgery. He literally fought his entire UFC career with the deviated septum, he easily could have fought again. He just didn't like that the UFC was turning him around so quickly when it was clear he wanted some time off after the RDA victory. He thought he had some clout with the UFC and overplayed his hand. Funny he made the same mistake twice when he got passed up a 2nd time for Usman.
Ask Colby and I guarantee you his biggest regret was not taking that Woodley fight.
