Tyron Woodley - Title shot

Callanutd

Just wondering what people think as regards Tyron Woodley getting a title shot? He has been extremely vocal, saying he deserves it but I fail to see how. He has lost 2 of his last 5 fights. Jake Shields on decision and Nate Marquardt KO. While his wins against Condit, Koscheck (well past best) and Hieron in that run are very good I dont see how he can dismiss Matt Browns 7-0 streak. For me if Brown beats Lawler he deserves it.
Saying all that I do think Woodley beats Rory this weekend.

Brown v Lawlor
Rory Mc v Woodley

The next challenger is one of the above. Big Rig is post surgery so no rush setting it up. Hopefully it'll be obvious who deserves it in a month.

Rory Mc will beat Woodley imo so that'll be the end of his title shot shítetalk.

Mr. Manager

Would have prefered a Woodley/Lawlor match up tbh

I think its defo bein pretty much decided the winner of Brown v Lawler thats why Woodley was off running his mouth when he heard hes also unhappy that Lawler got fights quickly before he even fought one.

Lombard V Stun Gun not too far out of the picture either. Lombard more marketable obviously but such a mess with Lombard,Woodley and Lawler all part of American Top Team if things sway one of their ways I guess the fights may be made regardless.

Me too but as they're training partners always less chance don't get me wrong training partners have agreed/being paired up in the past obviously but its shown theres a pretty high chance those situations make for a poor fight in the end (I don't refer to the likes of Bigfoot V Hunt in this evaluation ) but most times.

Woodley got beat by Shields and Marquardt.

Lombard ran through both of them, says it all.

So that means Woodley should get the shot? Who's to say Boetsch wouldn't beat Woodley as well?

MMA Math as Joe Rogan likes to say.

Brown v Lawler has been decided on as the title eliminator anyway. Brown deserves something (whether that's a title shot i'm not sure). Lawler earned his last shot and was very close in the Hendricks fight. I think he has a cliaim to a shot.

IMO, Lombard beats both of them through sheer animality!

I'd saw Woodley deserves a shot less than all these guys!

can't call the woodley mac fight at all
I can't imagine it'll be an exciting match up but do think
rory will finish the stronger

how in fuks name woodley lost to shields ill never know
threw a handful of leg kicks which took shields off his feet, so effective but so few
it looked like he could have taken him out at any time but seemed
awful hesitant
Must admit I didnt give shields a prayer

dont know what to make of woodley tbh
Think lombard would take him and i think rory would outwork lombard

how lombard lost to boetsch is just as big a mystery as to how wood
lost to shields but then again all lombard did was stand there like a
tree looking for a one punch knockout
A little more ungency and he couldve taken the head off tim to be fair.
The division has never been this exciting

I'd love to see robbie get the belt or carlos
brown won't go any further imo
