Isnt that what you just did with those stats? If they fight again i would still favor Rory over Woodley, im not sure how he wasnt the favorite against Maia or Till tho.You can live in the past if u want
And Rory hasn't?I think it would be a much better scrap if those two fought again. Woodley has gotten a lot better since then.
Rory's only 29! Give him a couple more years anyway before you start to write about his decline. Have you actually noticed a decline? I sure haven't.I think Rory's best days are behind him while Woodley is at his apex.
MMA is filled with victories that wouldn't repeat. In this case we have two high level athletes, much closer in competition, so it's not shocking, but there are certainly graver cases, Stipe Struve as mentioned, but what about one of Arlovskis early losses to Datsik? Or GSP to Serra? Or Wonderboy to Matt Brown? Or Shogun to Sonnen?
It would be a long list.
I watched that fight live and wasn’t that impressed. The Rory who beat Tyron would’ve 50-45’d Lima, not been on the brink of defeat with one leg.Go throw on Rory vs Lima.
Rory's still got his soul. And a whole lot of heart too.
I'd take Rory in the rematch, he's just a bad matchup for Tyron.

Woodley is 6-0-1 in those fights
He has only had more impressive performances than Woodley against Daley and Saffiedine. Woodley had the better performances against all other opponents they have in common. Hory had a FOTN with Maia where he arguably got 10-8 in the 1st and practically mounted the whole round. Maia was lighting him up standing early too. Woodley shut Maia out 5-0, knocked him down and stuffed over 20 TDs
You can live in the past if u want, like Struve KOing Stipe, Duffy finishing Conor, Pickett shutting out Demetrious etc. But Woodley is easily the best WW in the world right now
