Before a controversial decision to Georges St-Pierre, Johny Hendricks had only been beaten by one man: Rick Story. Since that win over Hendricks Story has gone 3-4, putting himself out of title contention, but he believes he’s ready again for a top ten opponent:
I want to fight anyone in the top-10, Story told MMAjunkie Radio. I just want to get back in the top-10 of the world.
Fortunately for story, UFC 167 was a fight card that featured five welterweight bouts, meaning there’s no shortage of potential opponents running on a similar fight schedule.
One fighter who did catch Story’s eye after his preliminary card victory was Tyron Woodley, a former Strikeforce title challenger who earned the Knockout of the Night against Josh Koscheck on the pay-per-view.
I’d fight Woodley, Story said. I just care to fight someone in the top-10.
