Woodley says Rory is his toughest match up, says he's a fan

[jsbx45]

Nice to see Tyron say something positive.

He must have read my comments about him in the forum and changed his whiny ways...Good work Tyron.

I think Rory would win the rematch as well, he is a bad stylistic match up for Tyron. That said I'm pretty surprised the poll is 75% for Rory, thought it'd be closer than that.

Woodley hasn't made much of any changes to his game since that fight.

The same style would give him trouble made evident by a similar gameplan from WB who fought him to a draw and arguably beat him even while being an inferior wrestler to Rory and having less boxing defense than Rory.

Woodley will always have the same gameplan. Back up to the cage and counter with a punch or blitz, or counter with a TD. Mix in feints, have a versatile defensive game, decent wrestling, and make him question which strikes you are faking, just flicking out there, and committing to, and Woodley will freeze up like he did vs Rory and like he did for more than 5 rounds vs WB.

Everyone using MMAth is killing me over here lmao.

No, what YOU did there was MMA Math. You can't just compare 2 fighters with their head-to-head match up and say the rest is MMA math

If their fight showed Rory is better;

Then Woodley's fight with Lawler showed Woodley is better

Then Lawler's fight with Rory showed Lawler is better

That means Rory cannot be the best WW, because Lawler is "better" because he beat him, remember? And Lawler cannot be best because Woodley beat him, Woodley cannot be best because Rory beat him, Rory cannot be best because Condit beat him, Condit cannot be best because Woodley beat him, Woodley cannot be best because Rory beat him, Rory cannot be best because Wonderboy beat him, Wonderboy cannot be best because Woodley beat him.... goes on like that.

So who is "better", according to your logic? Its a dead end dilemma.

I’m not disputing Tyron has some good wins that Rory could not get, but when the where locked in the cage for 15 minutes, Rory ate Woodley alive.

The better guy wins the night they fight, goes home with the W.

It’s as if you are saying even though TJ Dillan has beat Cody decisively, Cody is still better because he beat Cruz.. that’s MMA math son.

Bottom line is a better resume doesn’t mean you better than the person, because when they went toe to toe, the better person won.

Nate the great is not impressed by woodleys performance.

Rory got beat up by Lawler, twice. And lost to Wonderboy.
I don't understand the poll results.

No way he should be considered a better fighter overall than Woodley.

He IS A better fighter. Quit with all the mma math, Rory would smoke him again.

Cool response by Woodley though.

This is a crazy sport. Rory tooled tyron with relative ease and couldn't get anything going against wonderboy.
Wonderboy had some real trouble with tyron.

Again, if Rory is better than Woodley just because he beat him, then Lawler is better than Rory, in that case how come Woodley can be better than Lawler? Because he beat him you know
