Fans can expect to see former UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley sooner rather than later.

Woodley lost his welterweight title after getting outpointed by Kamaru Usman at UFC 235 earlier this year. He was then expected to return in a rematch against Robbie Lawler in the summer but had to pull out because of an injury to his hand.

It’s been a couple of months since but Woodley is now all good and is even being offered opponents by the UFC. However, he is still intent on getting his rematch with Usman:

“I’m good now,” Woodley told TMZ. “They should be offering me some fights pretty soon. They offered me a couple of fights the last couple of days so you should see me in there pretty soon.

“They kind of shuffling the deck a little bit in the division. Some of these fights actually sound interesting. Obviously, the rematch [with Usman], I want my belt back so that’s the most interesting. That’s the fight I want the most so if that’s not on the table at the moment, I have to look for the next best fight.”

Woodley could even be back before the end of the year as when asked about a potential fight in 2020, he stated it wouldn’t be that long until he’s back in the Octagon:

“I’ll be back this year,” he concluded.

Leon Edwards has been calling for a fight with Jorge Masvidal for quite some time. Yet, with Nate Diaz and “Gamebred” agreeing to fight each other, the fight may not happen after all.

Now, the question of who Edwards fights next is a big one. He is currently ranked fourth in the division, yet, he still wants the Masvidal fight.

“Obviously, I want the fight. Now it’s up to him and his fat manager,” Edwards said to MMA Fighting. “I am willing to fight in November. I will co-main event [Kamaru] Usman-[Colby] Covington and whoever wins gets a title shot.

“Even though I feel I deserve a title shot right now, I will put my eight-fight win streak against his two-fight win streak just to prove my case that I’m the best fighter in the world plus I get to smack his head off so that’s just a win-win for me.”

But, if Leon Edwards does not get the fight against Jorge Masvidal he is open to another fight and that is against Tyron Woodley. The former champion is coming off of a loss at UFC 235 to Kamaru Usman to lose the belt.

Why the Englishman would want that fight is simple. He says it should guarantee a title shot, but remains adamant he wants the Masvidal scrap.

“If it’s guaranteed a title shot next then probably,” Edwards said when asked about potentially facing Woodley. “Like I said, I want that Masvidal fight. That’s the biggest fight to make. I feel like me and Woodley, we’ve got no animosity, there’s nothing there other than a chance to beat a former world champion.

“I feel Masvidal is the fight to make and that’s the one I’m pushing for. But if they come with Woodley with good money, I’ll do it as well. Pay me and I’ll show up.”
