Is Usman a hopeless match-up for Woodley in a rematch?

Woodley needs to go out this time. Go for the kill. Rock him and take him down.
 
Usman had a flurry on him at one point were it looked like he was going down and it turned into a street fight. Woodley fought back on instinct.

Yeah early-mid 4th round he had a flurry but rewatching it most shots hit arms or grazed.

A couple of hard punches across 25 minutes isn't much to quit on for a professional fighter at the highest levels.
 
It is just a nightmare matchup for Woodley. I think Usman wrestlefucks him 9 out of 10.

The guy is a beast on the mat.
 
If Woodley comes in with his passive, fight not to lose approach then it is hopeless. I think he can absolutely beat Usman. Hell, I thought on paper that Usman was tailor-made for him to KTFO. But he has to be aggressive and press his advantages on the feet instead of getting backed up and grapple fucked.
