Woodley lost a lot of strength over the years

[Bend NvR Break]

Woodley often gets overlooked when talking about WW PED users, instead people always bring Hendricks downfall, GSP's stomach bumps and Usman's cardio and how shook he looked when Colby accused him of PEDs.
But one of the more obvious examples is Woodley.

No he's one of the cleanest examples dumbass.
Wtf is going on here? You think if he was on PEDs he take some EPO to fix his shitty cardio that's plagued him his entire career.

He could be on EPO, it is difficult to detect if used properly.

If his cardio is that bad on EPO then he never should've been a fighter

How embarrassing for Tyquil

He is actually very hard to finish and has fought in a lot of 5 round fights. He cardio is not great but I never thought is was that bad. He has always struggled against well rounded fighters; he was beaten badly by Rory, Nate, Marty, Gilbert and Colby. He seems to do OK against one dimensional guys.

WoodSADA Saga is no mo

I thought strength was supposed to be the last thing to go?

It's going to depend on their ability to cut weight as they get older. If they can't manage the same massive cuts, then they have to lose some mass

Pettis looks a lot softer too... Roufusport has gone downhill fast...

 

[JasonBrillz]

He’s almost 40 years old...

Probably training extra his cardio

He'd also have super human cardio....

He clearly has lost musculature. The question is why.

Methinks a combination of age and OTHER factors.

Not saying he was on roids, but USADA is constantly evolving and getting better. Supplements guys used to take are now off the table.

BETTER COMPETITION and style makes the fight

Wboy is a top fighter but no takedown threat
Till was easy to beat
He was scared shitless of Maia who is an amazing bjj guy, but still on a decline
KOd Lawler, no comment here, although Robbie had his share of losses
Had a very close fight vs Gas

Colby, Usman and Burns are just better.
Especially, they are better ground fighters and they are not afraid that Woodley will wrestle them.
