Woodley injured his shoulder in the Maia fight, and instead of getting surgery, he waited 6 months before getting surgery.
He wanted a big fight with Bisping, both Diaz bros, Conor, and GSP, but it never happened. Once RDA became the next clear contender, he decides to get shoulder surgery.
Then Woodley acts confused when they book RDA in a title fight with Covington, saying that he would've been ready to fight by then.
I know it makes financial sense to want big fights, but in waiting for these big fights to never happen, he wasted part of his athletic prime when he could be fighting and building his legacy.
Woodley is no spring chicken, so I think this was a bad miscalculation on his career going forward.
