“I am the only free athlete in combat sports. No one else can say that. I can fight here and there. Anywhere. You will see my fights multiple times and in different promotions, in four styles”, said Woodley, in an interview with 'MMA Junkie'.
Excited about resuming his career, Tyron is willing to do something unprecedented in combat sports. The athlete also assured that mixed martial arts are in the plans, suggesting a date to return to the sport.
“I will be the first to do this and everyone will follow. One of the styles will be MMA. I want to fight MMA in July, in a very special fight for me. It will probably be in Las Vegas”, he concluded.
