Tyron Woodley yesterday appeared on the MMA Hour and explained his decision to fight former champion Johny Hendricks versus taking an ‘easier’ fight:
“I’m a sportsman, man. I want to fight the best. He’s a former champion, he’s had three or four title shots. One he pulled out and the other were very close. He is arguably one of the best if not some people think he’s the best guy in the world. Me, I can go out and fight a guy that is outside the top 10 or one that is a good style matchup and I can go out there and put on this crazy performance, beat him up and look all amazing and get a title shot that way. But me, I know beating the best and continually and consistently doing that, is going to make my road to the title deserved and earned. That’s when i can look in the mirror and sleep at night and feel comfortable about that.”
