Funny cause no one seems impressed with any of his since he’s become champion. Personally I believe Colby deserves the next shot though.
Who would be? Lawler is a shell of what he was a couple years ago. Colby is the new blood in the division worth a damn.
Rory is most likely the best WW in the world right now
2breath2feel -Agree sucks Rory is in Bellator now. IMO the best in the world at 170 just now.Who would be? Lawler is a shell of what he was a couple years ago. Colby is the new blood in the division worth a damn.

the same could be said about him…pot meet kettle but that’s racist
Woodley one punched Robbie in the first round so why would he be?
Dos anjos will push a pace that will break woodley if he doesn't rush in face first and get caught with a wild punch thrown by woodley, woodley has one hell of a right hand
Colby owns Twood when they fight. Woodley knows this, that’s the reason for all the ducking and jiving.
failure at life -I think Woodley takes RDA and outsizes him pretty comfortablyDos anjos will push a pace that will break woodley if he doesn't rush in face first and get caught with a wild punch thrown by woodley, woodley has one hell of a right hand
Khabib will destroy champ Woodley.
there is no reason for him to stay at 155, the div is stuck.

It's not the size difference, it's the pace. Dos anjos can fight at a much more furious pace
Woodley's a dick but he's proved himself to be the best in the division. Great ko of Lawler, win over wonderboy and Maia, he the real deal. I think he'd be the favorite over any 170 pounder. Not the most exciting fighter but has good fight smarts. Should leave the pr work to others though.

So if Woodly wants to fight no one. Then who the fuck is he going to fight? Lol

No one? He’s begged to fight. everyone.

RDA is a better fighter than Woodley, and he’ll beat him easily. And there’s no way Colby deserves a title fight after that embarrassing performance against Maia.
colby loses to RDA and twood

It's a very interesting question. The only hole that dos anjos has showed in his game in the last 5 years has been his takedown defense. Nurmogomedov was able to take him down and control the fight but he does that to everyone so it's hard to say it's a true weakness. I also remember Jason high taking dos anjos down a couple of times in round 1 when they fought, although I consider Jason high to be a very good MMA wrestler, he isn't exactly khabib. So we have seen some weakness there because dos anjos' boxing, Muay Thai, offensive wrestling, his BJJ, and his cardio has looked absolutely outstanding. He's a very versatile striker and he doesn't struggle with longer opponents so far. Dos anjos had stalked opponents relentlessly at LW but he was actually able to get the better of lawler while backing up and landing the better strikes. Usually predominantly pressure fighters aren't able to deal with a larger guy who can push them back that well and show the ability to land strikes backing up the way dos anjos did, that kind of versatility at that level is extremely impressive.
Although woodley is a powerhouse and a very accomplished wrestler, he hardly ever attempts takedowns in the UFC, he's obviously very heavy from top position after seeing what he was able to do to Stephen Thompson when he got him down. I suspect woodley limits his number of takedowns because he has to manage a somewhat limited gas tank. This is especially true in 5 rounders where he really has to conserve energy and be very economical with his number of takedown attempts because they are so draining.
So to answer your question, I think woodley is perfectly capable of taking dos anjos down but I think he'd have a more difficult time holding him down if he puts dos anjos there, dos anjos seems to be pretty good at getting back up. I doubt woodley will try and expend the kind of energy it takes to not only take dos anjos down but to hold him down as well because fighting someone that can go at the pace dos anjos in a wrestling heavy fight over 5 rounds can be absolutely exhausting if you don't have the kind of cardio to do that. Once dos anjos senses his opponents fatigue setting in, he dials up the pressure to a miserable pace. I doubt woodley tries to take him down with any kind of consistency because of how exhausting wrestling someone like dos anjos for 5 rounds can be

Wonderboy > Rory
WattMell - I'm not gonna lie, I really thought RDA should have been able to finish after Robbie reportedly tore his acl and was on one good leg for 3 rounds. It was a relentless pace and he looked great but after he threw everying and the kitchen sink and I was almost bored by the fifth.Same, I was screaming at RDA to finish Lawler
