Neither Lawler nor Masvidal would take Woodley's belt. The right man is...

[sirmorbach]

Kelvin Gastelum.

Regarding Lawler and Masvidal, I think not one of them would be able to beat Woodley's explosive wrestling game.

I think the one man who currently holds the best tools for a Woodley fight is Kelvin Gastelum. Yes, I know Tyron beat him already, but a) it was close as fuck and he arguably lost and b) Kelvin fucked up the first time with his weight issues.

If Gastelum manages to make weight as he should and win a couple of fights at 170, I see him as the one who's most likely to take Woodley's belt.

Of course, Lawler and Masvidal are definitely no joke, but then again, there you go.

What do you think, lads?

 

[Bubzeh]

I don't think any of those guys beat Tyron.

 

[sirmorbach]

I don't think any of those guys beat Tyron.

I would probably favour Tyron at this point as well, but I still think Kelvin is the most dangerous to him.

 

[Mikey Palangio]

I favor Woodley in that fight, because Woodley already beat him.

Gastelum is also a slow fighter, and slow fights favors Woodley.

I should correct myself and say Woodley already won the game versus Kelvin. Beating should only be used with finishes.

 

[CieloLuce]

Taco Bell Gastelum better watch his weight then, but I agree with ya. Gastelum has the stand up advantage and wrestling to nullify Woodley.

 

[Jim420316]

He already took his belt once.

 

[CereserBr]

yep

 

[Dick]

I wouldn't mind seeing Masvidal and Tyron go at it for 5 rounds honestly. Also, what's with all these apparent ATT guys fighting each other?

The fight was at 180 lbs because Kelvin didn't make weight, and Woodley still won.

I don't think any of those guys beat Tyron.

I will put my money on this guy

 

[Furious77]

I'm not sure Kelvin could get a title shot at 170. He can't beat Masvidal,Maia, or Lawler.

 

[Herwald]

Kelvin should get the shot immediately, the division is weak and he's one of the most talented fighters in all of UFC. Another option would be to bulk his ass up and let Gaethje bulldoze T-Wood out of the division.

 

[Furious77]

Also, what's with all these apparent ATT guys fighting each other?

Why wouldn't they? DC could learn a few things from that camp, instead of sacrificing his career.

[Threetrees]

I'll take Woodley, he can hurt Kelvin three times and Kelvin's pressure gives him something to counter

three times in three seperate rounds and maybe a takedown and that's a close but clear Woodley decision in that fight imho

 

[xpdracon]

Tyron will defeat Tyron. I mean that.

 

[BjPenn2017]

If Mas pulls the trigger no way Tyrone can keep up. The first guy with good striking and TDD that puts it on Tyrone will take his belt from him. I don't think Mas will fear his power either like Maia and Thompson.
